The mass shooting that didn’t happen

After a mass shooting, we always hear, “Why didn’t somebody notice?”

I always reply that it isn’t that easy to get someone to pay attention. I had a friend once who began behaving very erratically. She collected knives and had military training, so several of us tried to get someone to pay attention. It was not easy, but we finally succeeded and the woman, who had indeed suffered a psychotic break, got help before she hurt anyone other than herself. Continue reading →

Find your identity in Jesus

This is really good.

Another good piece by the same guy about how and why the LGBT movement mercilessly bullies those who choose to give up their LGBT lifestyle.

Unmasking Robert Mueller

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) recently published a 48-page report exposing decades of corruption on the part of Robert Mueller.

“Robert Mueller has a long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people that is a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence. He lacks the judgment and credibility to lead the prosecution of anyone,” Gohmert begins.

The Top Reasons Mueller Should Go

“Not only did the federal judge strongly attack the prosecutor (which in itself is fairly rare.) But he went so far as to accuse the prosecution of outright lying. … If a federal judge (on the circuit since 1987) sees through the charade that the Office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller is putting forth to this degree, what else need be said?” – Kevin McCullough

Give this 10 minutes of your day

A gf sent me the link to this because she knows I love quilts. But I think it would interest anyone who likes American history, Ken Burns documentaries, or museums.

The Quilts of Ken Burns

“Filmmaker Ken Burns has collected quilts since the 1970’s, but he’s never publicly shared his collection… until now. Burns once said, “I make films for other people; I collect quilts for myself.” In this interview with Nebraska Stories, Burns shares why he’s become a collector of this beautiful and functional art form.”

The Five Stages of Too Much Email

2018_05 08 5 stages of too much email

I’ve been working on my email backlog for days and have only beaten it down to 172 unread. I’m giving up. As for all the stuff I didn’t read here or at Facebook … my apologies to Pete and all y’all, but I am throwing in the towel. If it happened in April, I will have to remain ignorant. Below are May Bits & Bytes from the news feeds to which I subscribe.

What’s a Greater Leap of Faith: God or the Multiverse?

I don’t understand how any serious scientist can buy into the Multiverse theory. Energy cannot be created. How can they believe in an infinite number of energy-rich universes when they can’t explain where the energy in OUR universe came from?

As for the idea that my choice to go to one college rather than another or marry one man rather than another somehow spawned a NEW UNIVERSE is beyond ridiculous. I admit that I enjoy sci fi episodes based on the idea, but only because I like watching actors play their evil twins. I’m not dumb enough to think they’re anything but FICTION.
