One of the most beautiful expressions of the Bible story is John Milton’s Paradise Lost. On this Good Friday and Easter weekend I am moved by the conversation which may have taken place when God the Father acknowledges before all of Heaven that Satan will certainly tempt Adam and Eve to fall, and considers the… Continue reading “account me man”
I love Twitter, and often find interesting links that I don’t have time to write a blog post about. While you can see my daily tweets over in the sidebar, it occurred to me that if you don’t follow me on Twitter, or you’re not on Twitter (and why aren’t you on Twitter?) it might… Continue reading weekly tweet roundup
Monday’s post started a conversation about Art, which made me think of a couple of posts I wrote awhile back, attempting to define what Art is – and is not – for Christians. I posted the first yesterday. Here’s the second, originally titled “Is it Christian?” It was in reply to a blog post about… Continue reading … and “christian” art

He was getting old, and I’m thankful I had forewarning and the chance to manage things so there are only good memories. He was a good little buddy, and I hope you’ll indulge me posting… Continue reading all creatures great and small…
You probably thought this would be another post about me. But no, “Unemployed Girl” is actually a painting by a Russian artist in 1904. Kazimir Malevich painted several other studies of women at work (or not working, as the case may be). Clearly, she’s taken herself to the park in the afternoon for some soul… Continue reading unemployed girl
As if the stress of not having any work to do wasn’t enough: science now shows that it is actually possible to die of boredom. But I’ll try not to think about that during endless hours trolling internet job sites ad nauseum… >yawn<
It’s been an entire week since I blogged. My life, flexible and unstructured though it may currently be, was waylaid by the failing health of my cat. But before you label me another pathetic single woman with a cat and click over to some blog full of relevance or breathless optimism, let me clarify. 1.… Continue reading jerry & the storms of life
The good news: “Scientists have concluded that men who sleep around are likely to have lower IQs.” Hah! Another scientific study that proves something we think we already knew! “According to his theory, intelligent people are more likely to adopt what in evolutionary terms are new practices – to become ‘more evolved’. Therefore, in the… Continue reading good news/bad news
