I had a dream last night that I had a summer home on a Mars colony. Chandra didn't like the water, which was triple filtered from the house sewage; she drank all my beer. New neighbors moved in and were upset that I had a car that was burning bio-diesel and pumping out CO2. We had a deadline to get home, but Chandra cracked another beer. I told her she had to drink it fast before we left.

Psalm 103 (so much) & a touch of 34 & dollop of 49
No matter how bad I am, I have hope. "He will not always accuse us, nor will he keep his anger for ever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is his mercy great upon those who fear him." 103:9-13
But, our lives are finite. We will get old and die. "Our days are line the grass, we flourish like a flower of the field; When the wind goes over it, it is gone, and its place shall know it no more," a sobering thought, contemplating your own mortality...even aging and the breaking down of the body. 103:15-16
But, there is hope yet of life after death. "He redeems your life from the grave and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness" 103:4
Hope, "the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness." 103:8
If the wages of sin are death, our lives have been purchased. "The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, and none will be punished who trust in him." 103:22
We can't do it alone. "We can never ransom ourselves, or deliver to God the price of our life; For the ransom of our life is so great, that we should never have enough to pay it, in order to live for ever and ever, and never see the grave." 49:6-8
Again, we are faced with our own mortality as, "we see that the wise die also; like the dull and stupid they perish and leave their wealth to those who come after them. Their graves shall be their homes for ever, their dwelling places from generation to generation, though they call the lands after their own names. Even though honoured, they cannot live for ever; they are like the beasts that perish." 49:9-11
For the ransomed, there is hope of life eternal. "But God will ransom my life; he will snatch me from the grasp of death." 49:15
8 The Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. Numbers 21:8-9
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him."[g] 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 14-18

Holographic Universe Principle
What if we are in a computer simulation, like the matrix? What if Near Death Experiences are waking up in the real world? Hell?
Strange Dream Last Night
Freudian friends unite! So, I had a dream that our Vice President at work was in charge of a Satanic haunted escape room sex dungeon that was a sort of Dagohba force cave of sorts. We made our way to the exit and were out; but, saddened, not before I found a disturbing doll of my daughter dresses in dominatrix gear in a glass case at the end of the last room by the exit. I took (rescued) the doll, and hid it behind my back from the other characters in the dream. Then for some messed up reason, we entered the next room, going back into the escape room complex again.
Carl Jung was a dream guy too. And, I like him better anyway. Maybe he could help.
Strange Dream Two Nights Ago
I had a dream that I was firing a home made rocket. It was made from the 22" circumference vacuum separator bodies we used to build when I worked at Eurovac. It launched violently and soared to an amazing height before entering unstable flight and crashing spectacularly with a brutish impact. Not sure what it all means, I have no idea.

Dark Thoughts for a Dark Day
If time is malleable and every thing that will ever happen already has, maybe Hitler was the better option; maybe somebody went back in time and killed somebody much worse that allowed Hitler to rise in his place.
Freedom & Liberty
One thing that we humans have been great at over the last 10 000+ years is forcing other humans to live by the rules we decide they should have to live by.
