I BELIEVE IN BELIEF
This week is the trifecta of Holy Days in the Judea Christian world. We started with Monday and Tuesday being devoted to Passover, the holiest of holy holidays in the Jewish religion. And we end the week with Good Friday and Easter, the high holy days of Christianity. Being somewhat of a spiritual mutt myself I celebrate everything.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND
I don’t understand electricity. I use it anyway. Every day. My ignorance has little effect on the value of the voltage. Recently, on late night radio, I heard that a light bulb isn’t really a constant light. It’s something like 60 flashes Per second. We see it as a constant.

It’s fascinating but, a little above my pay grade. It’s information that sent me racing… Read More
