This might sound crazy to some people, but I love crickets. To be more accurate I should say their chirping. I always sleep near a partially open window whether it’s ten below or ninety degrees outside, and I find it so restful to listen to “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” as Mozart might have put it. (Actually, he did put it.) Outside …
Church Chat
Last week, boys and girls, we closed with the mention of the Bible’s compatibility with science. If you missed the sermonette, it is preserved here on this blog with a posting date 7 days prior to this one, but for ready reference, we were expounding on this general (and, unfortunately, true) subject: The #1 cause of atheism is religion. Religious …

Your Hump Day Hiatus
I once had a book that contained page after page of beautiful nature photography. Some pages also contained a quote from a poet or naturalist that perfectly matched the photograph on that page. As I watched this video and took my own mid-week break, I was immediately reminded of one of those quotes. It came to me verbatim, all these …
PSA of the Week
Got one minute? Watch this. It might save a life, maybe even yours on some future day when seconds count. And if you think this information should be filed under “Duh,” ask any firefighter, EMT, or paramedic if this problem ever comes up as they respond to the scene of accidents and fires. About a year ago on Highway 1 …
I Love Monday
I’ll tell you something I truly love: clouds. Their variety in shape and color is virtually infinite. They are beautiful. They give us shade. In cold weather, a cloudy night helps keep us warm. Added to all that and more is their most vital function: rain. If you were given the assignment to provide irrigation for, let’s say every square …
Church Chat
Today’s meeting of the Church of the Infinite Chasm was prompted by a comment I heard last weekend: “The #1 cause of atheism is religion.” That’s like saying the #1 cause of obesity is Weight Watchers. Unfortunately however, it’s true (not in the case of obesity, but certainly when it comes to atheism). EXAMPLE: There are religionists who believe and …
