Catching up on Random Thoughts
Did Mark Twain really say/write all those things that get attributed to him?
I don't know if I will watch Downton Abbey next year.
A woman in my Bible class told me Omaha, Nebraska, is very diverse. Who would have thought that?
I tried to read John Rawls' book on justice. Worst book ever written. Even Habermas is easier to read and makes more sense. So many times these tomes have very few ideas but a lot of pages, and the ideas are really simple (and often wrong). His: Justice if fairness. There is so much wrong with that idea I don't know where to start. Justice only tangentially has anything to do with fairness. It has to do with rightness.
I do not like our president any more, or less, than I did four years ago.
Our gifts, especially our talent gifts, can become such idols in our lives and we must fight to subsume them to the worship of God.
A friend who is a humorist was using humor, as he often does, in talking about something, and I told him he was not being serious because he used humor. He told me that was my assumption. He's right. To me, humor, not matter how necessary and pleasurable, trivializes a subject.
Do dogs have sin natures?
Being a Baptist and attending (even belonging to) a Baptist church are two totally different things.
My Franklin Covey planner has really good quotations in it.
I am striving for 1000 blog posts in the next couple of weeks. Now, if I could just get my public to respond (that's supposed to be funny).
