I shared this post from Shane yesterday, but another area where “Christians” need converting is to the notion that Christians are called to be participants in “keeping” Creation (and the word “to keep” there is the same as the one used in one of the very next Genesis stories: “Am I my brother’s keeper”). Late 20th and early 21st century Continue Reading
A “checkered past” and continued denial in the present Much like the uproar about CRT, is the pushback on the idea that humans have ushered in the Anthropocene. The systemic buildup of CO2 in our atmosphere, coupled with the accompanying extractive and disruptive technologies that have damaged soil, coral reefs, and wetlands, and clear cut for pastures to feed our Continue Reading

“Realities” that are both “real”….. The “content” of our character: the stuff that , in FTF, we don’t “wear on our sleeve” by habit or in a native/ default form. And we keep it behind a socail barrier that is all too often rare, and most tragically, in FTF church. I have found that people find out more about me Continue Reading
All of the comedic Facebook jokes happening, and as I watch the above, and laugh (cuz Colbert is funny)….I also cringe a little when I see how some of the “blame” for the sociopathic “enflaming” going on is a matter of “the world” expressing itself “writ large” by the microscope and archiving of this human garbage spewing. Do we take Continue Reading
Facebook has really botched user friendliness, for anyone who wished to search for something in their own timeline. That’s pathetic. It’s bad enough that users don’t really have access to their own timeline data without having a PhD level technical degree in the Facebook graph (and even then, their idea of what data belongs to the user who is the Continue Reading
I have just under 3 and a half months left here at 1801. The building has sold, and I have to find a new place, either my permanent place (the goal since last year at this time) , or another temporary place on the way to finding that “new home”. Covid has certainly been a gigantic monkey wrench in the Continue Reading
I’ve often mused about where we might be in Electric Vehicles if we had started back when the Ecological Crisis was brought to the public attention in a big way. (There WAS an early EV that was produced and leased to people back in the early 90’s, but that effort was “mysteriously” (or, NOT so mysteriously) stopped and literally torn Continue Reading
Heart-melt….from the granddaughter, via her Mommy.(More below, with captions. Click title of post to see them on the post’s dedicated page) Oh?
““Screw COVID. I went to Sturgis,” read one t-shirt from the rally, where overwhelming support for President Trump was the norm. ” https://www.motherjones.com/…/sturgis-motorcycle-rally-is-n… How pathetically stupid, and alarmingly evil. What **I** want is king. How dare you threaten to take that away!
So spot on as to the problem with “identity theology” , which doesn’t bother with the right question. It focuses instead on “correctness” as something one “owns” and others don’t. It’s failure to ask about how our neighbor is affected , and neglected, is what makes it a doorway to hate, which is born out of ignorance of the neighbor’s Continue Reading
