How’s everyone’s Tuesday going? Me? I’m just gearing up to play the “This is not a joke” drinking game with El Beardo as we tune into the Oration de la Somnambulist later this evening. Calm down. It will be mostly ginger beer. Predictions: We will hear how well the va{{ines are working as we come…

Keep On Truckin’
Can I be honest? I’m afraid our country might be screwed up beyond repair. I hate to say that, but, again, when you kick God out, as our nation has done, chaos reigns. I do take heart in the fact that we were able to elect a decent governor in Virginia this past November. He…
The War Zone
Can you feel the ground shaking under your feet? Do you smell the ever-present smoke, acrid and thick, making it hard to breathe? Can you sense the enemies that encircle you like a malevolent vapor, like a cold fog in the damp woods, bringing on an uncontrollable shiver? Do you hear the people screaming as…
The Thing Behind the Thing
How many of you can see the hypocrisy in our nation and know, deep down, that things are not as they seem? Why is it ok for football fans to crush in next to each other with nary a scrap of fabric over their faces while (hold up, wa-ait) our children are still forced to…
Just Do It? Nah.
With clarity comes conviction. What the Lord has made clear to me this past couple years is that when you don’t conform to culture, it makes people angry. The Lord has also taught me to be okay with that. You know why? Because what our culture wants us to conform to its twisted, godless values….
You Can’t Fix Crazy
Who is the person that just irritates the living daylights out of you? Can you see their face? Is it me? Regardless of who it is, we all have people in our lives that are hard to get along with. Sometimes, it feels like they go out of their way just to make life unpleasant…
I Have Questions.
In Quebec, if you are unvaccinated, you can go to Wal-mart, but a store employee has to follow you the entire time to make sure you’re only getting groceries or medicine. Seems reasonable. Parents right here in Virginia are up in arms about the dissipation of the mask mandate, even as the CDC has admitted…
The Upswing
I’d like to introduce you to the outfit that’s had a leading role around these parts the past week or so: Pink Leopard Print Pajamas. Can be worn with thermals underneath or as a a stand-alone fashion statement. If you’re going to be quarantined at home with stupid Omicron, you might as well look good….
Finding Joy in January
I’ve caught myself several times over the last few weeks wishing January away. The coziness of a fire at night is nice, but the unwelcome chill that greets us each morning as we trudge toward the bus stop makes me want to dive back under the covers as soon as my feet will carry me…
Making Room for More
I’ve never been what you’d call “outdoorsy”. I think nature is beautiful, but don’t ask me to camp. I don’t do bugs. I don’t enjoy peeing outside. I’ll hike to get some exercise and take in some scenery, but I don’t feel the need to commune with the woods any longer than I have to….
