My thoughts on religion, the roots thereof, and some of the truth, humor, and silliness that can be enjoyed from its practice.

We need to talk about this living legend thing. I mean really, there are those that are remembered and have a legacy that will extend to the ends of humankind. Neil Armstrong, Abe Lincoln, Hank Aaron, Big Bird, Johnny Cash, Madeleine Albright, Ray Charles, Winston Churchill, and Julia Child all made it, why can’t I?

Now, I have heard the rumors, seen the videos, read the articles, watched the reality shows, and heard the long winded explanations of the vast mountain of evidence for the existence of a large furry ape like creature that lives either

Obviously this all needs some ‘splainin, and I do believe that I am THE most qualified person, that is writing this blog, and talking to you, to perform the aforementioned ‘splainin.

My mind drifts back to a time just before I graduated from high school when my gramma was still alive. Gramma Roxana was a devoted church goer that regularly attended the local Methodist church over on State Street in my home town. In fact at one time, when I was a wee lad, she regularly

One of the fears we all have, regardless of age, sex, or religion, is prison. We”re all told from birth that prison is a really really dark and dangerous place. This is all reinforced by the endless list of prison dramas where young men are “shivved” because they reached over the plate of a fellow
