Round and round

I go around and around... or round and round... I hate Facebook, I love Facebook.  I'm Roman Catholic, I'm not Roman Catholic.  I'm taking public transportation, I'm driving.  I'm vegan, I'm paleo.  I'm going to post all the time on my blog instead of going to Facebook and reposting other people's stuff, what blog?


I'm on an endless spiral staircase... I look out on the same scene over and over from different levels but I am not really going anywhere... maybe it's more of an MC Escher sort of staircase...


I'm just a little kid...





I'm a cranky old man...





All at the same time...

I'm Russia as described by Churchill... a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma... 

I am what Nomad said of Uhura... silly sexist 60's :-)
Capt. Kirk: [of Uhura] What d'you do to her?
Nomad: That unit is defective. Its thinking is chaotic. Absorbing it unsettled me.
Spock: That "unit" is a woman.
Nomad: A mass of conflicting impulses.

So deal with it.  :-)

    You may not like to hear this but you are pretty normal. At least in this particular family. As I've told you before, I will NOT be classified as a certain religion, I am CHRISTIAN. Period! As far as being paleo, gluten free, vegan, etc. YIKES! All the conflicting info out there is mind boggling. I think our best bet is to be a child of God and eat healthy and not foods that make us sick. Especially you with the gluten problem. I'm keep doing the same thing and keep coming back to just eating whole foods, not processed. Meat, vegetables, fruit. Probably considered mostly paleo but without ALL the silly restrictions. And of course something now and then that doesn't fit. Like ice cream. We just have to quit knocking ourselves how trying to figure it out. You sound just like me and I'm an old lady of 80. Kari has the same go around too. When will we ever learn?

    Does Lora and Max want to go back to Messiah? I'm glad I find the church I attend to be a great place to worship, receive the eucharist and confess and be forgiven of sins and hear a good homily and have a good discussion class during Sunday School hour. Wish you lived here so we could attend church together like we used to do.

    Just be yourself. That self is a wonderful, loving son, father, grandfather and brother. We love you and God loves you.

      Yes, Lora and Max want to go too. :-) Well, it may be normal for this family but it sure is frustrating at times :-)

      If you don't want to go there just let Lora take her kids and go. And yes, it is frustrating. Life is frustrating. But I prefer to leave it all in God's capable hands. He has my apt. and when it is time, I'll get it. Three weeks and two days. Are you ready for Kari & I?

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

I give up.

Over the last couple of years I have made a huge effort to convince myself that the Lutheran view of government had some merit. I've read everything recommended by Lutherans on the subject but I just can't make myself believe it. I can't believe it because I am certain that it is, quite simply, wrong. It is possible that I misunderstand the Lutheran position still, but I don't think that is the case. Lutherans teach that government is a blessing from God, a positive good. I think that this is wrong. In reality government is a curse and an evil. Even God warned Israel that a king (government) was a terrible idea that was against His will for them. (1 Samuel 8:4-19) We are certainly commanded in Romans 13:1-7 to obey and honor those in power over us, but in no place in the New Testament, at least no place that I'm aware of, is it even remotely implied that we ought to participate actively in any government, even less is it implied that we have some duty to part...
