Be-Heading Babies and Cutting off Human Sustenance

October 10, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Like many of us, the news from Israel and Gaza is hard to take. This morning, I tuned in to a few different reports. On one, I learned that Hamas had be-headed Israeli babies. On another, I learned that Israel has cut off all essential supplies to Gaza, which would include that which Palestinian babies are in need of to thrive. I’m left with many thoughts and an unwillingness to assume/presume most anything about any of this, other than to...

Teaching Children How to be Mentally Ill

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, MENTAL ILLNESS I highly recommend anyone with children, grandchildren or anyone who cares about children to listen to this. You don’t know what you don’t know–and I am inviting you to learn more about the true situation we are now facing. I am only halfway through this talk today, but it is definitely worth sharing. And that’s about all I have to say about the nature and movement of this horrifying indoctrination/sexual abuse and endangerment that is...

The “Great Reset” of the Historic Christian Church and the Linguistics of Getting the Church “To Board” This Flight

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

In 1971, political-leaning John Lennon wrote a song that has a terribly beautiful feel and melody, and that has since moved people (musically and/or ideologically) of many spiritual/political leanings, seemingly transcending the actual linguistics of his imagined world. “Imagine there’s no heavenIt’s easy if you tryNo hell below usAbove us, only skyImagine all the peopleLivin’ for todayAhImagine there’s no countriesIt isn’t hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion, tooImagine all the peopleLivin’ life in peaceYouYou may say...

Call Out Aloud Their (‘Dead’) Names

September 25, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

“Why do you seek the living among the dead?” (Luke 24:5) That question, found in the gospels, comes to mind. And though there is the context of looking for the dead body of Jesus in the tomb, there is something so inherent to the human condition that I must start with just that statement.Humans are wired to seek life, and avoid death. Humankind fell out of God’s grace of life in the Garden of Eden, and there, very real issues...

A Prophetic Frenzy and a New Heart

September 23, 2023

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

It’s a Friday night, and I’m doing some Photoshop and office work tonight. I’ve got a Blue Moon open, and I put on my Old Testament audio. I started yesterday in I Samuel. I’ve been drawn into the Old Testament and Psalms in various ways in the past year. And, I must confess, I don’t fully nor easily grasp the many details and stories and names and significance of things. But it is easy to pass time by just letting...

Secrets Will Keep You Healthy and Safe

September 20, 2023

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

We are being asked to reframe historic understandings of all that is true, good and holy in this world. Do you believe that “secrets” kept by your children-in-pact-with-facilitators of their own self-harm and lifepath toward sterilization are keeping those dearest to your heart “healthy” and “safe?” I read this piece this morning and invite you to keep getting glimpses… Our Private School Doesn’t Know What They Don’t Know – and Students Suffer...

A New Type of Asylum

September 11, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Lunacy. Asylums. Refugees. How crazy is the state where you live? If one of your children or grandchildren decides to run away (with potential assistance of activists) so they can start so-called “gender affirming care” without your consent, how far do they need to be transported through the network into the “safety” of these mad asylums? It used to be that asylums were for the insane, and that we granted asylum to refugees fleeing from forms of insanity. But in...

It Started in the Ladies Room

September 10, 2023

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Midway through my gig yesterday, I visited the ladies room at the large venue I was at. As I was washing my hands and about to leave, I noticed two teenagers next to a single sink, looking into the mirror. The one appeared to be a girl, and the other one struck me as unusual upon first glance. I tried not to stare, but did throw several glances here and there, and as I exited I took note of some...

Sucking the Life Out of the Bible vs. Going Off the Deep End

September 7, 2023

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I pause here mid-day to share some thoughts I had while eating lunch and washing dishes. Yes, I eat my lunch while I wash my dishes these days… I was thinking about what task I should turn to next, and whether to resume listening to something on Audible. Yesterday I added the NIV New Testament, to balance my CEV Old Testament. I did have the New Testament The Message version, and while it is interesting to listen to, I’m not...

The Hostage-Taking Therapist

/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I just read the latest article in my inbox from my substack article subscription to Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans (PITT) and it seems like another worthy of passing along, with hopefully just a few limited comments I have about the matter. The article is written by a therapist and is titled A Letter to Parents from A Concerned Therapist. I formed my blog piece title here as a spin-off, subtopic that this piece generated in my own thinking...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
