Amazing what a valentine's gift can do. Though I tried to challange it, my wife gave me $100 to spend as a valentine's gift. Feely guilty about splurging while I have been gripping for dear life onto my meager earnings as a private teacher, she let me go crazy, within reason of course. The stipend did not include tax or shipping charges. :) So, Alibris.com became a playground. I've been able

Yet another change and shift in how this blog will be written. The whole cynical mode just doesn't work, given the ease of descending into depression I have. So, I shall endeavor to follow the title of the blog. How that will take shape I am not sure. Yet, my ideas and beliefs have not changed, in that we have been led astray the last 7 years especially. We as a country are greatly divided,

So.....my thought is does the administration really believe that if they repeat the same thing over and over that we all will believe it is true? Despite evidence to the contrary, such as common sense, logic, using our own minds, videos, pictures, etc? Why, oh, why do they feel we can't use our own minds? There is just way to much going on to hit it one by one. The item that I personally find

OK.....Intellegent Design. Science or faith? Little background on self here. I am an adherent to the Christian Church. I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spigot....er...Spirit. And, I believe Intelligent Design is not a science. Because it essentially comes down to a belief in a Higher Power, something that cannot really be tested in a scientific manner. ID belongs in a philosophy

Wow. It has been awhile. Teaching at camp for a week, surgery to repair a hernia, maintaining my sanity during recovery (both from the surgery and from my addiction). Time has slipped away. I haven't completed as much as I was hoping I would this summer. It was really hard to get myself going. I've always had a problem with self-discipline when it comes to sitting down and working. I

Had a good session with my counselor, yet still was feeling loose when I got home this evening. Don't know what it was, but I was feeling on the edge. Unfortunately, I have substituted smoking for drinking. Sure, I am drinking more tea and less coffee and pop, but the smoking definitely is not a safe thing. But, I eventually calmed down enough to go upstairs and start situating things for the

Still trying to get the hang of this dang thing. I've written at least two more items that what is posted, and I have no clue where they went. Still have yet to get cracking on my paper for the class. I know what I am writing on: the Psalms as ideal hymns or sources for hymns. I've got the books for my references out as well. I just don't have a space in the apartment right now I can call

Just a couple of items in the links which are interesting. I knew Legos were fun. But this tops everything I've seen thus far!

OK, that was supposed to read "more to come" but a Freudian slip printed out instead.....oops. Anyway, what exactly does the term "sacred blues" mean? To tell you the truth, I don't know. It sounded cool. I am trying to build my faith, and I enjoy blues music. Now, not the rinky tink stuff that some rock bands sometimes. I mean BLUES, like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Albert King,
