Nicene Creed

 Our Bible Study meeting yesterday was to determine what we would study first.

You could have knocked me off my chair with a feather when the group decided they wanted to dive in depth into the Council of Nicea!

Granted, what happened there in 325 a.d. determined the shape and emphasis of Christianity up until today. But really, even though I have 6 years and three degrees in theology, my knowledge of Nicea and what happened there is scant.

So, I have some work to do to get up to speed.

Luckily, all the members of the group will be diving into the Council and the Creed as well.

Maybe we'll learn from one another.

That's how Bible Study usually works--learning from each other.

Wednesday feels like Sunday

 I went to church today for Bible Study.

I haven't been there on Wednesday for months, so on the way home it began to feel like Sunday.

I knew it wasn't but the feeling was real.

I even tried to find a pro football game on TV!

"Dope", I told myself, "it's Wednesday."

I answered myself back: "but it sure feels like Sunday...."

Jesus and trump

"Love you enemies as you love yourselves," Jesus told us over and again.

Then, at his speech at his friend's funeral, our president rejected the wife's 'forgiveness' of the man who assinated her husband and said "I HATE MY ENEMIES!"

Who's side are you on? 

Car Time

I took my car in for an oil change and they gave me a whole page of stuff that should be done.

I'm 78--I don't have a lot of driving years left and I don't drive that much to begin with.

To do it all would be $1400. And I wouldn't have to do it all at once.

I'm certainly not going to find a used car for less than $10,000, so I'm going to have it all fixed.

Bern agreed.

Cars are wonderful inventions--but they are a pain in the butt.

 

No church today

 Today was my Sunday off.

So, I didn't go to church.

I know most priests who have a Sunday off attend a local church.

I don't.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm really a Christian.

But not often and not for long....

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered...

Windows 11 is coming!

And I have no idea what to do about it.

I may have to get a new computer.

I may lose everything on this one--including my blog.

I just don't know what to do.

Bern has asked some folks and gotten some ideas.

None of which I comprehend.

I just feel like I'm looking over a cliff....

Help!!!

 

I'm an Idiot....

 I went to my personal doctor for a check-up today. Then I went to Marshall's for the fruit and nut stuff I love to put in yougart.

An hour or so later, I was going to go upstairs but noticed my wallet wasn't where I always leave it.

I looked around and checked the sports coat I'd worn and went out to my car to see if it was there.

It wasn't!

I began to lose my mind. All the things I'd need to do....

    *cancel credit cards

    *new driver's licence

    *new library card

    *new united health care and medicare cards

    *the hundred or so dollars in my wallet would be gone

I was about to tell Bern and go back to Marshall's to see if someone turned it in.

But I checked my sports coat again and there it was--in the left hand inner pocket.

I always put it in the right hand pocket.

I'm an idiot...but a relieved one!
