“Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable. I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but I was perceptive. I always know when someone’s uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I’ve ever […]

The Big Question – Part 3
Who I am not I am not an academic. Never have been. At least not in the common sense of the word. I was a mediocre student at best. I stopped getting all A’s at about the same time that all A’s weren’t given to everyone. Let’s say 2nd or 3rd grade. I remember being […]
My Home Brewed World – The Big Question Part 2
Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the saccharification of starch and fermentation of the resulting sugar. However, we can arrive at a much simpler view if we look at what it’s made of.. at the essence of the ingredients. Reinheitsgebot – The German (or Bavarian) Beer Purity Law of 1487 dictated that beer could only contain water, malted barley, and hops. The yeast that […]
The big question
OK. Maybe it’s not “The” big question. But it’s certainly one of them. “Who are you?” And it’s cousin… “Who am I?” I think that at some point in our lives everyone has to have been asked the former and asked themselves the latter. I certainly have. Rather often, in fact. In 1982 a move came […]

What exactly is it that I’m counting? A blessing is God’s favor and protection. Those who are blessed are those who “live […]
Hear, Hear, Mr. Mclaren!
I often wander. In the cyber sense. I have done my share of wondering in the physical sense as well, but those are different stories for different times. Back to my recent cyber-wandering. I was recently discussing the relevance of the need to have an understanding of the Old Testament Hebrew world in order to […]
Fear and Free Thought
I recently read a blog post by Brain Mclaren in which he responds to criticism about many of his views. It is not my intent to delve into the details of the debate that is being hashed out in the blogosphere and elsewhere regarding the writings of Mr. Mclaren and others with similar thoughts and/or […]
Quantum physics…
Quantum physics tells us that while we fell compelled to know absolutes, they will always elude us. Nature was designed to be unknowable.
Nature rolls di…
Nature rolls dice. Nothing is certain. The fundamental laws of our world are dependent on the acceptance of chance and probability.
Quantum Conversation
There are sub-atomic particles that blink out of existence in one place, only to wink into existence in another without traversing a specific route between. They take the route we observe. Our conversations can be like these particles. They can take a route that is specific to the audience hearing the conversation. The conversation can […]
