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…

LRPSP
LRPSP. com has been up for over a week now and I thought I’d step back and provide some foundation for the categories, my biases, and the general discussions. The About page provides an overview of the Blog, however I thought that over time a little more detail might be provided. This is a short…

Stacking The Data

WINNERS AND LOSERS
Even as the Seattle Seahawks celebrated their big win the Stock Market took a dive. There are winners and there are losers in life, but it is not always a zero sum game. In Matthew 5:3 Jesus Christ said that the poor in spirit have the Kingdom of Heaven. The word poor used here means destitute, totally…

When is a Day not a Day?
Sometimes my musings are current and other times they are reflective. And thus, at points, my Blog may come across as a little random or disjointed. My apologies, but at times I just start thinking about things that leads me down a rabbit hole. Today is one such day. If you and I were having…

Who Is Your Imaginary Friend?
I’d like to stay with the comment of the individual who posted on Ken Ham’s FaceBook page (See yesterdays blog: MURDERER OR NOT?). Specifically the end of his comment: “It saddens me that an adult could believe such things as fact. You are robbing your children of their lives and wonder by filling every unknown…

Murderer Or Not?
Amanda Knox is once again in the news and once again has been convicted of murder in Italy. Some have suggested that this is double jeopardy (tried for the same crime twice) and that if Italy were to request extradition of Ms. Knox that the request might be denied based upon those grounds. However, I’ll…

Is There A God?
One of the harder hitting and more intriguing questions asked in Life, Religion, Science, and Philosophy is: “Is there truly a God?” I might suggest here that the question ought to be asked within Politics as well, but alas, it would seem that most of our Governments today have either convinced themselves that it makes no…
