How Much Is Too Much? (1 Kings 4:20-28)

A dimension of any rule or government is to realize that – with any sort of success, security, and wealth – there is always a dark underbelly to it.

King Solomon’s court, by Claude Vignon (1593-1670) The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy. And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon’s subjects all his life. Solomon’s daily…

Martin Luther King, Jr.: Unraveling a Co-opted Narrative - A Journey through the Multifaceted Social Justice Warrior

Martin Luther King, Jr., a towering figure in the American Civil Rights Movement, has become an icon whose legacy is often distilled into a sanitized narrative. Over the years, the complexities of his beliefs and the full extent of his activism have been overshadowed by a simplified version of his story—one that emphasizes a dream but often neglects the depth of his commitment to social…

The Truth About False Words

1 And Job again took up his discourse, and said: 2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,     and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter, 3 as long as my breath is in me,     and the spirit of God is in my nostrils, 4 my lips will not speak falsehood,     and my tongue will not utter deceit. 5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;     till I die I will not put away my integrity…

Last Week's Pulls, Week of 3-1-23

I’d actually enjoyed Superman issue one so much that I thought I’d pop over and see what’s going on in Action Comics. Oh wait, there’s that super team that I wasn’t interested in… It’s a difficult place to start too. I don’t know where a lot of these characters came from and it just seems like they’re all there, jumbled together. The book isn’t terribly accessible to new readers. Oh well, I…

Daily Comic Journal: May 1, 2021: "Can I Fit In 39 Hours Of Viewing In 72 Hours? Should I ?"

Daily Comic Journal: May 1, 2021: “Can I Fit In 39 Hours Of Viewing In 72 Hours? Should I ?”

You know, I lived during the 1980’s and I don’t ever remember hearing or reading anything about the whole McDonalds swindling story. Of course, I was in my 20’s and was preoccupied with things that someone in their 20’s is occupied with. It’s an interesting story though. The Documentary is pretty well done (though they tend to get over-dramatic at times) and it can be pretty sad and tragic. Many…

Innovation Patterns and History Lessons

Innovation Patterns and History Lessons (what we can and can't learn from our past) #psychology #innovation

Those looking to history to shape our future innovations should be wary of the conclusions they draw. Remember the Roaring Twenties? Maybe not in life, but in film, literature, and all of the nostalgic art that has glorified that period of history – that era immediately after the First World War and the Spanish Flu Pandemic characterized by so much growth, positivity, and innovation? It’s…

For the Sake of Beauty (1 Kings 7:1-12)

Beauty in architecture is a theological statement.

King Solomon’s throne room, by Edward Poynter, 1890 Solomon’s palace took 13 years to build. Forest Hall was the largest room in the palace.

Top Ten Films of 2021 – Mary’s Picks

Whilst this year really does feel like we are firmly stuck in The Matrix, the good news is that cinemas have been open again for several months. Other restrictions have remained in place but cinema, thankfully, was back. (And honestly, this writer is a big fan of social distancing in cinema screens – less chance of hearing someone talk all the way through the latest blockbuster or scroll through…

Whaz Up!?! Monday 11 October 2021

Howdy y’all! As you can imagine, I haven’t had a lot of time to peruse blogs or the news this week since we were on the beautiful white fine-sand Cambodian beach. I did manage to read two books that I’ve been procrastinating on for just a bit over a year, play several board games with the family, drink some good scotch and wine, eat some very leisurely meals, and spend long hours soaking in a…
