The “Good News” of the Eco-centric Kingdom
Found this gem in a Kindle sample of a book I had not noticed enough to look into what it may offer: This is my first post to my WordPress blog in 7 months
My destination
Addendum to my previous post about my seeking a “next interim step”: a place to hang my hat and/or “lay my head” as I continue the much elongated interim journey to my “low-to-no-carbon-footprint” lifestyle. the 15 months (the last of which is this one, March 2021) . I have been an “1801 resident” have been a much needed “cushion” for Continue Reading
Immanent move from 1801
My good friend Larry Bourgeois created a Facebook “ask for recommendations” page a couple days ago, and I posted this under it a few minutes ago: Thank you Larry, for this initiative in “sounding the call” to fill this “niche” in my ongoing journey’s transitional time. I will make one small correction/clarification: it wouldn’t need to be more than 1 Continue Reading
Being “Volun-told” to offer up Eco-Lenten reflection
This past Sunday night, I was asked in a Zoom Meeting of a Church Community I have been attending, since soon after the pandemic began, if I might provide some reflection on the Ecological angles for Lent. As that meeting had been taking place, and the group leader/facilitator Joe Webb was asking participants about how they might contribute (as he Continue Reading
Facebook failing content creators who assumed their content was easily retrievable
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
Looking for what’s next, in a bit of a hurry
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
Keeping vigilant about online community possibilities and tools
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
Creator of Heaven and Earth
“The time has come to rediscover the significance and implications of the first article of our Creed: our confession of God as the almighty Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth. We do not own the earth and all that is in it, but are creatures ourselves. We are not the masters of nature, but God’s children entrusted with the wellbeing Continue Reading

To stand in the way of needed collaboration
It doesn’t take an expert to know that this demonic man is the last thing we need to get our collective act together. His lack of leadership and modeling of abject selfishness is literally a deadly example.
Failure of communications across the board
News agencies are reporting the worst week yet for the rise in cases of Covid-19. All our institutions and organizations: faith, education, government, media…..how are they so woefully absent and , as a result, complicit in this mass denial of what is happening? Of course, there are some exceptions. But the order of the day seems to be that this Continue Reading
The magical, anti-science thinking of GOP “science”
When Mike Pence and Donald Trump speak of “science”, they are actually meaning “seance”. Magical thinking that fuels massive cognitive dissonance, forcing them to willfully ignore any real scientific data, and throw up a smokescreen that claims that Climate Science is divided on this. It isn’t.
