Secular Sunday – Gone Way Too Soon

I’ve written a lot about the many many reasons I don’t believe in God. But one of the biggest is that no matter how many “God works in mysterious ways” or “He does things to test us” excuses I hear, I can’t reconcile a merciful god that would take some of the best, most amazing, […]

Saturday Snap – Boundaries? What Boundaries?

In my Wisdom Wednesday series, I’ll eventually do a post about the difference I see between what I call “black & white” thinkers and “grey area” thinkers. (Myers-Briggs has 16 classifications. True Colors has 4. Hamology basically only has 2!) One big aspect of this difference is that are those who think there are hard […]

Music Monday – “Through the years, I’ve never been afraid/I’ve loved the life we’ve made/And I’m so glad I stayed right here with you/Through the years”

Happy 52nd Anniversary to my parents! 52 isn’t a big milestone so instead of a plane right and fancy supper out like we did for their 50th a couple years ago, they spent the day seeing a specialist, playing cards with the grandkids and eating takeout Greek food. I also didn’t make a video montage […]
