• Voter Intimidation

    Well I did it! I got past the Holier -Than-Thou people who have prevented me from voting the past year and actually voted where and when I was supposed to yesterday in our local elections. I spent a year being intimidated by our local Democratic Party vote getter outer to not come to church (yes…

  • The Lord is Risen

    (An Open Letter to the those who attend Gloria Dei Lutheran Church) He Is Risen Indeed! Greetings from a brother in Christ in Exile. I was sent to you by our Risen Lord in a time of great need. I thought I was being sent to a place of refuge and healing. I misunderstood his…

  • Scriptural Proof

    I have received a challenge from a true Christian friend about my musing on Libertarian Theology. When I started with the Declaration of Independence, and talked of God’s limits, she challenged me: show from Scripture that God limits Himself. I have taken my time, not because of the scarcity, but because of the abundance of…

  • Together with Christ I Care

    Lent, day 11 It was an odd moment. Jasini went to the dentist’s office for the first time in over 2 years: we finally had insurance to cover it. They tested her BLOOD SUGAR in the dentist’s office: 395. She texted me the results. While she continued her appointment I scrambled and spun trying to…

  • Wind’s Day Greenhouse Report.

    Lent, Day 9 Sometimes you don’t know which element of the weather is going to be the problem. Today it was the wind… I spent much of this past week tearing down the winter greenhouse coverings to let more of the sun back into the greenhouse for growing plants. But it isn’t spring yet, much…

  • A Rant Smaller than the  Occasion Deserved

    Lent, Day 7 In Jasini’s Tales and Ideas, Jasini today let out a rant. You can read it by following the link below: https://open.substack.com/pub/jasinikc/p/well-perhaps-they-were-frustrated?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=31hvr4 She feels like she has lashed out strongly and with justification. I agree, and suggest maybe the statement is not strong enough. There is no equality with these people where the…

  • “When Someone Knocks You Down …

    Get right up again. Show some pluck like Donald Duck…” Lent, Day 6 I’ve been questioning whether Donald Duck’s example is the right one to follow. He doesn’t always seem to get the better of the situation that way… In the personal introspection encouraged by Lent, I have come to the conclusion, that my church…

  • The Emperor’s New Clothes

    Lent, Day 3 Are tears supposed to be a part of Lent? I spent much of today, unexpectedly, in tears. I was pondering some recent predicaments, both personal and political, and thought of comparison’s to The Emperor’s New Clothes. When I looked up the story, I found it was by Hans Christian Andersen. Knowing that…
