Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin is still sticking to her focus on unifying the Republican Party. She stood up and took a courageous stand for what she believes in today. I am not sure it was the best political move in support of Senator John McCain, but it does energize the party and I think it does...
It was a difficult day. It came to lunchtime, well actually it was a little past lunch time, if you eat by the clock as my German genes insist. I was standing in the pantry, it is a nice large walk in pantry, or feeding room as Son calls it and it is well stocked. I could probably feed most of the...
This is a collection of things I have written that I think are at least half worth putting back up. Since last I did one of these, I have added two short stories and maybe ten other forms of writing. With 19 solid "Stories," 7 short fiction pieces, and over 25 others, I would like to think that what...
CopperWiki is a fast conductor for information, one which gives us choices for living a healthy, useful and conscious life. We know a lot of information exists-but it exists out there piecemeal. We have to hunt for it, evaluate the credibility of each source and all the hard work sinks when it is...
Is something lost at each branch, so that in the end, nothing is left? Perhaps there is an infinity in the finite.

This is the best answer to this question I have ever heard. The unexpected thing that has happened to me over the last few weeks is that I am beginning to get crazy for Joe Biden!!
A jew may become slave in the old testament by being sold to cover his debts or family debts. But by the year of jubilee, every seventh year, they would be set free. But if the jew found someone who was a good master and he didn't want to be free, he could chose to become a bondslave. See Exodus 21...
Kierkegaard and the later existentialists and theologians who have followed in his steps direct our attention to the limits of reason. But they overlook the crucial difference between responsible and irresponsible decisions. There are situations in our lives when all the reasoning of the world...
[55] THE RESCUE OF JOASH Read 2 Chronicles 22:1–12 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah… He too walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong. 2 Chronicles 22:2-3 NIV * *...
Tuesday, July 22nd 11:56pm I've always been the girl whose friends come to her for advice. But what happens when I don't know what to do either? I feel like not being able to fix someone else's problem is just as bad as creating it in the first place. I really shouldn't, because it's completely...
At Tokyo University, they have figured out how to take the fear of cats out of mice. By switching off a gene, they removed certain nasal cells that the mice use to identify predators, and the altered mice showed absolutely no fear of cats. They even snuggled and played with cats. Check out some...
I recently purchased a course from the Teaching Company over existentialism.

"When you know a friend is there you do not go to see him. Then he's gone and you blast your conscience to shreds that you did not see him." "[The Hebrew] word timshel — Thou mayest — that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it...
I didn't intend to post on George Carlin making his transition, not because I don't love him like he was my own wayyyyyy-cool grandpa, but because I figured a lot of other people did a fine job, and my own post would be redundant. That being said, I just found this in my Google Reader, courtesy of...
In the beginning of the 4th century AD Persian Sassanid Kingdom was in bad shape. There was a chain of weak rulers that were losing big parts of the kingdom to Roman emperors. Last one Hormizd II could not even control his nobles and was killed by Arab Bedouins while hunting in 309. The the...
