A semi-regular attempt to address some of life’s minutiae that might otherwise be overlooked…..

I generally prefer solitude to meaningless interaction. Empty calories are for junk food. Conversation & fellowship should be more enriching.

I’ve never been as good about studying God’s Word as I need to be. I am lazy and a procrastinator. I’ve had plans to write my thoughts in this space as I studied The Bible for over a decade, but follow thru has been an issue my entire life. Having said that, when I actually dive into the process one thing I will not do is post frequent photos of my open Bible on social media in a sad attempt to gain attention and persuade the masses into believing I’m a “good person”, which feels like what Matthew would consider “sounding a trumpet as the hypocrites do, that they may have glory from men.”

People in “protected classes” get BIG mad when you call them out on their BS double standards. It’s quite hilarious.

It wasn’t my intention to lean into religiosity, but sometimes one is just led in a certain direction, and who am I to resist?? You may have read in the news recently that Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner’s teenage daughter came out as transgender (Or is it gender fluid?? Non-binary?? Who knows nowadays 🙄) while speaking at her grandfather’s funeral. For the moment let’s put aside the classless narcissism of doing so in that moment that is intended to honor a deceased loved one, and we’ll also overlook the fact that Affleck’s current wife Jennifer Lopez happens to have a kid (or two 🤔) in The Alphabet Brigade (What are the odds??). A question was posed on social media about why so many Hollywood types these days seem to have “LGBTQ+” offspring, and a thought occurred to me that applies in multiple ways. Why do so many rich & famous people have substance abuse issues?? Why do so many of them seem to go thru relationships like the rest of us change socks?? To be fair, these issues…alcoholism, divorce, identity confusion, etc…are problems faced by regular folks too, but they seem to be exponentially worse amongst society’s elite, and I think it may be the result of a Faustian Pact. They sell their souls to The Devil in exchange for fame, money, power, and influence. Makes perfect sense.

If a person working in healthcare or a healthcare adjacent field is in poorer health than the people they are paid to take care of perhaps they should find a different line of work.
