Life
Discussions of LIFE – as in living life to the fullest. But also LIFE as in purpose, meaning, wisdom, and understanding. This category is all about things that interest me in LIFE.
The Greatest Question Of All Time …
Here it is, Easter of 2015, or Resurrection Sunday. Many cultures around the world celebrate Easter. Here in the U.S.A. Easter egg hunts, as well as chocolate bunnies are a great tradition. Over the years (especially the last five or six), I’ve had various Theists (specifically those of the Christian persuasion) come to me and inquire […]
Is It Your Time?
I recently heard a young woman giving a speech during which she proclaimed to all within her age group that today was her generation’s time. This is a somewhat common phrase heard in most cultures around the world. The idea that now is your time (or our time) is an expression fairly well understood by most […]
God is in control …
There are mysteries that are paradoxes in life. And that is by design, we are not meant to understand all things. This is a difficult thing to accept for most people. We want to believe we can know it all, discover all things, understand the mysteries of the universe. But the fact is, we will never have […]
A Woman’s Right To Choose
A couple of weeks ago, in the U.S.A., on January 22, 2015, the passing of the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade anniversary was marked. This National case, decided on January 22, 1973, found that a woman possessed the right to choose an abortion as a legal means of terminating an unwanted pregnancy. A human pregnancy, […]
My Tastes In Food
Have you ever known a picky eater? And by picky I do mean finicky. I have. Some peoples culinary standards simply cannot be met. Other people are fastidious in their selections of food as well as its preparation. Many people in America will cite health reasons as the primary driver behind their particular eating […]
Where Is Your Moral Compass?
I have previously mentioned the book The Word of God: A Logical and Moral Dilemma written by an acquaintance of mine. The title of the book implies a puzzle exists in the book of the Bible (here, The Word of God is a direct reference to the Bible). That puzzle (dilemma) is manifest by the belief […]
And What of Nostalgia?
Well here it is. New Years Day 2015 (obviously using the Gregorian Calendar. Those who adhere to the Chinese Calendar, or possibly other calendars, may not have crossed the Year boundary as of yet. But that is OK because it is not WHEN the boundary occurs but rather WHAT those boundaries in our lives are.) […]
Are You the Salt of the Earth?
Salt (NaCl), specifically sodium chloride, or common table salt, is a most useful compound. It is quite common (and necessary) in all cultures and in everyone’s daily lives. It can be used for many different purposes. One of the most common purposes that the vast majority of people would be familiar with is as a […]
Man Made Climate Change
Man made Global Warming has taken us by storm (pun intended). The media is literally inundated with it. Take these particular headlines in the last few weeks for example: Climate Change Deemed Growing Security Threat by Military Researchers – The New York Times : May 13th 2014 U.S. Military Plans Policy Shift in Response to […]
May We Have A Rational Discussion?
Apparently not when it comes to atheists who are adamant about stamping out all religion in society and within the daily lives of ordinary citizens of the United States of America. I’ll explain in a minute. First let me say this was not the topic on my mind this evening. For the last day or […]
