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.
Chasing After Rights
Our rights are important. As is what we perceive as our rights. Rights are where we derive so many of our other political and social concepts from. Rights, as defined, are those set of items or actions that are afforded due to just claim, legal guarantee, moral principle, or legal principle and authorities. And rights […]
Where do YOUR rights come from?
First, let me say thankyou for your patience and understanding while I undertook a move one quarter of the way around the world. While not completely settled yet, we are starting to get back some of the things we have been without (my computer is just about back to the state it was in when I […]
Where do you live?
One of the more interesting passages of Scripture to me is Ruth 1:15-17 which states (in the King James Version): 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or […]
Life Changes
Have you ever felt like you are at the gambling table of life when you suddenly get dealt the worst possible hand imaginable? No matter how well you plan, or what kind of in-roads you think you may be making, you wake up one morning and suddenly find yourself facing seemingly dire circumstances. It probably […]
In Search of God
The other day in Whose Science Is It? I stated: “Once one has determined in his or her own mind as to the existence of God, then the debate as to who or what that God may (or may not) be can take place.” Meaning to separate two linked, but unique, practices: Theology and Religion. But […]
Whose Science Is It?
One of the more amusing aspects of the whole God debate to me is the exclusive territory of science. As if certain crowds have a lock on particular disciplines. When studying the world around us, there are many different facets that can be taken into account. And there are different theories and interpretations of the […]
Where Is My Faith?
Faith is a difficult thing. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Faith permeates our lives in every way imaginable and yet we struggle with it where it matters most. Simply put, Faith is a belief that is held that is not based on a proof. We utilize faith in our lives each and every day […]
The Words Mean What I Want Them To Mean When I Say Them
To paraphrase Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through The looking Glass. Which is then completed though Alice’s reply: “The question is, ” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty. “which is to be master—that’s all.” Like Mr. Humpty Dumpty, we all want to be […]
Where Did The Void (Nothingness) Come From?
To be honest, I had developed a schedule of sorts for my blog. I had intended to introduce, and comment on, a series of items that interest me within the topics of Life / Religion / Politics / Science / and Philosophy in some sort of loosely structured but coherent order. But I am already […]
Caught My Attention …
I was definitely NOT thinking about blogging this today – but I was double blind sided on the way home and I have not been able to get it off my mind since. What was I blind sided by? Car emblems. You know, those magnetic, chrome, cute and witty, little flashy things people like to […]
