The Rona

I had a dream that I was back in the year 2017.  Against my better judgement, I started telling people about everything that would happen in the next seven years, jobs, moves, promotions, not deaths though.  The only thing that seemed off limits--by whatever had placed me there--was COVID.  I don't know *how* I knew this, but I knew it.  Nobody believed me though.  Nobody bought it anyway.  They all left for lunch (outdoor BBQ?) when it was called.

49 and Trucking

At 49, I just traded in the first vehicle that I ever bought new for my new truck.  I got 800 bucks for the Jeep, paid 70k for the truck.  My little story and a half wartime house is not expensive, nor do I have a massive footprint.  God has blessed me greatly, a good paying job, the ability to work and the brains to learn, and the health to do it all.

I have known poverty.  Never on the street, I have been without a home.  I've couch surfed.  I've been unemployed.  I've slept on the floor with no bed, a Winter coat my only blanket.  I've been awakened to a rat playing in my hair.  I've had a newborn and been on welfare. 

I'm thankful to God for the food I eat, for my family, for the absence of addition, for giving me the strength to rise above my circumstances, and the fortune to have the opportunities that He has sent my way.

Tornados, five

I had a strange dream last week.  I was on the farm, as an adult.  Cindy and Chandra were there.  I looked out the back of the house, and there were five tornadoes coming toward the house.  I yelled up the stairs for Chandra to come down.  She was saying that she'd be down in a minute.  I couldn't get her to come down.  The tornadoes missed the house.  There were trees down everywhere, one on the roof.

If you were a *real* Christian, you would be a wise SJW Zealot

Today's sermon advocated Socialism.  ...again.  Our fill in guest preacher delivered a well intentioned call to help the poor from the pulpit.  She actually said that we seemed farther from the Kingdom than before and that there were no laws requiring the wealthy to give up their wealth to the poor.

I don't know, how about we keep what we work for and get everybody good jobs?

Well, that's not good:

More stress, coming up! 

Some of those verses seem to be a two edged sword.

Here's another interesting verse from the Quran, used my Muslims to refute Christianity:
Surah 4:171

The interesting thing is that I've heard Christian apologists use this same verse to say that Jesus was a spirt that came down to the Father.  Because, in Arabic, it uses the word spirit, not soul.

 Also, this verse is often used to say that the Bible is corrupt:
Surah 2:40-42

 However, if the scriptures that we have now are the same as the scriptures that existed before Muhammad's revelation (Dead See Scrolls, first century Christian writings), how is the Bible corrupt? 

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Medical imaging and neuroscience have reached the point where we can now see consciousness.  How long, I wonder, before we have the technology to read minds?  Didn't some mystic predict this, Nostradamus maybe?  I predict mass suicides if people's minds become an open book.  The old adage that we are our own toughest critic will become a farce.

I’ve noticed a loss of muscle mass in my neck, of all things.
