A Rant For You

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Does it matter? Should we give any thought to anything beyond ourselves? Why should we trust anyone but our own selves? What is there beyond what we see? Are there hopes, dreams, possibilities beyond what we can ken at this moment? Is there hope beyond [...]

May the Blogosphere Shake in our Exuberance!

Greetings and exuberant blessings be upon you! I have news to share with you all, news which should cause a Great Shout of Rejoicing to tremble the foundations of the cyberworld. Mama Lauser is having another little Lauser! Let us all dance in joy and happiness, and then bow in prayer for the safekeeping of [...]

I Want to Forget

I have a pretty bad memory. Honest. Yes, I’ve trained it to be able to memorise things rapidly and securely, but I needed to do that because my natural memory is so bad. I’m so bad I can forget the topic of a conversation halfway through the third sentence. I’m even having a hard time [...]

“Oh god that’s so funny!” Phrases like this, using the words “oh god” in a light and jocular fashion, are commonly seen and heard in normal conversation and in media. “Oh god…” Phrases like this one, using these words as an expression of horror, shock, terror, or awe, are also commonly encountered, especially in movies.

Of course, I would still be me… I would write, and learn things, and make websites, and probably start a church eventually. But I would forget about all these projects, [...]

But recently I discovered a whole new branch of anatomy, which I am voraciously studying. It is both fascinating and exhilarating, [...]

A New Kind of Modesty

I walked down the high street of Cork, my head down, my ears dulled, and my heart aching. The atmosphere of the world washed over me like a warm wind laced with acid. I felt miserable. Every view my eyes beheld had an immodest diva as the centerpiece, framed by sensual suggestions. My stomach churned. [...]

Don’t You Hate Being Wrong?

It is no calumny to be mistaken. Indeed, it is not even a very great fault. And although it is preferable to be correct, other matters of far greater importance ought to pull rank on any division over a matter of correctness. There are, of course, matters in which correctness is of vital, nay, crucial [...]

Rebellion and You

Image via Wikipedia What is rebellion? First, why do we care? That question is easily dealt with: 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king. Proverbs 17:11 An [...]
