A Rip Van Winkle Day

I did not sleep the day away today, but  should have.

Totally wiped out today–did only what was absolutely necessary and that was it.

It often seems like I have energy every other day.  It sure didn’t help that we had one of those gray and overcast days.  Again.

I just finished listening to Mark Rushdoony’s book about his father.

What an incredible life that man led.

I will be doing a review of the book, but am thinking that I should just cover one section of his life–then I could do it more justice–rather than attempting to review the whole book.  I’ll have to give that some real thought.

That’s about it for now.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Binding the Sheaves of Idiocy REPRINT

From January 24, 2014

OK, now, what have we learned this week?

We have learned that “unrestrained homosexuality” can help Save the Planet from Global Warming (while we all freeze our kiesters off).

We have learned that communism is best for Saving the Planet from Global Warming (while we all freeze our kiesters off).

And we have learned that Global Warming is “directly linked” to Income Inequality.

Bind them all together into one sheaf of progressive “thought”–if I may abuse the word–and what have you got? Besides a colossal load of pure crapola, I mean.

Lemme see, lemme see… We got Global Warming, we’re all gonna die, our cities are gonna wind up underwater… and, um, this is because we’ve got capitalism instead of communism… and homophobia’s also a big part of it… and eating meat… and smoking, and owning guns, and believing in God….

Ooh, ooh, I know! I’ve got it now!

Like, get rid of half or two-thirds of the people, ’cause there’s too many of them and it’s, like, not sustainable… and get rid of cars and light bulbs and air conditioning… and the people who are left can be small wandering bands of homosexual vegetarians… except for the real smart ones like Al Gore and Cher and Bette Middler and all those wonderful climate scientists–because we’ll need them to rule us and live in palaces and zoom around in private jets… And then everything will be fabulously wonderful!

You, too, can think like a progressive.

Just throw out your brain.

Image result for dead nettle

From April 9, 2017

The first plant to come up in my wife’s little garden, this year and last year, is the purple deadnettle.

Hi, Mr. Nature here–and it’s called the “dead” nettle because it doesn’t have a sting like the real nettle. It’s a member of the mint family, memorable for its delicate purple flowers and its leaves that are arranged like a stack of dishes. It grows all over the place, around here.

Bob Bakker–the scientist who, more than anybody else, popularized the concept of warm-blooded, active dinosaurs–once told me one of the things that most draws him to God is the self-evident delight which the Creator takes in His creation. I agree! Even this fallen world, the Father stocks with beauty. Even the weeds!

I was happy when I read that a lot of people have come to appreciate the deadnettle for its beauty and are now planting it on purpose, usually as a border for a garden, and because it so delights our eyes.

Give thanks for the beauty of God’s handiwork: it tells us something good about its Maker.

The picture doesn’t do it justice, and yes it still comes up every year PD
