The Most Tolerable Third Party
A little before the 4th of July, I purchased a box of sparklers. I had some thought of what I wanted to do with them, but seeing how I’m never at home and few people visit me at night, I had not much of an opportunity to do what I… Read More »The Most Tolerable Third Party

I Can Not Tell A Lie
It is often, most likely, mistaught to the children of America that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. The story is used as an example of George Washington’s veracity.

Last night was Good Friday. At the conclusion of our church service the congregation walks by a simulation of the crucifixion.

Prayer, Reflection, Horseradish & Jumpshot
Last night my church had a fairly unique service. A woman from Jews for Jesus came and gave a presentation on the traditional Jewish Passover feast. She explained the meaning of each cup, prayer, tradition and food item. The presentation was interactive, so we sampled many of the foods. Most… Read More »Prayer, Reflection, Horseradish & Jumpshot
