This flu keeps coming and going in waves, it is just, nastiness. Everyone I know who has gotten sick, gets a little better and then sick again, we all seem to be favoring soups from the same place. Now the poor staff is sick as well.
This means all of our conversations of late have been freed of the …

The Industry of Poverty
The Mad Kitten is a chunky little hefty hefty kitten. You have to understand that she is virtually pocket sized. I forget how small she is until I am around someone else's cat and then it hits home. She is chunky, what in the 70s would be called "husky" but not fat. For whatever reason she is a soli…

Little Orphan Money
The thing about working in the genre and style of the dramatic poem is that it allows for a rather intense exploration of the human condition. I mean, that is its purpose. The whole use of Gods as the main characters is designed to allow such metaphors (as say hey - birds falling from the sky) to be…

The Fall of the Economy and the Rise of the Death Saint
These are heady days, what with the parade of newly elected officials peeing on the trees, fence posts and leather chairs of government to mark their territories. The air is full of their triumphant mating cries and depending on which side you prefer, their voices are either hymns of hope or funeral…

falling crows
I was going to be writing about one thing today and then another thing happened. I will get back to the other in a few days but I have to say, I am dragging through today. My one day of flying back to life seemed to have desired a day of rest after and that is not how the day has gone.

hunky dory
I have not been that sick in a long time. The nice thing has been that 5 other people I know also came down with it the same week and we could commiserate and share our pain. Plus, several of them are Brazilian and had a fine stock of codeine based syrups so, while I don't know if they actually help…

knock down
For weeks now I have been delicately skating around getting that cold or flu thing that is going around. I would get just far enough into it to recognize the beginnings of sickness, pull back, and do everything right and get better.
Mind you, the flu is not a "hey-hi-how-are-you-doing-don't-have-a-lo…

It hit me yesterday, as I was out using Wifi and having coffee feeling quite....odd....as I move into my first full week without the Internet in my house, that I have lived with an Internet connection for a really, long time.
I mean...a really long time.

mine
Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I now have more time to sit and write? That, of course, means that I have more time to sit and consider and that can go both ways.
I was listening to the radio and they just announced that today is Christmas' Eve Eve. I simply turned the radio off and starting p…

writing beauty
I think I am getting ready to do a clothing purge again. I have noticed that I really only wear certain things and as my life seems to be going through a process of streamlining again - it seems about time. I fell into the habit of having "enough" to sort of squeak by for a while without having to d…

The Order of Christ Existent
The Order of Christ Existent consists of ministers and laity who have chosen to take vows of service and commitment to their communities. The designation OCE confers on the person a public responsibility to to provide service, comfort and companionship regardless of faith, lifestyle, gender, age or race to all in need.
Every member of the OCE has identified their areas of calling and is active in those areas, inspired by Christ, directed by the Holy Spirit but governed by respect for the rights of each person for their individual beliefs, spiritual development and life.
No member of the OCE is permitted to evangelize as a condition of someone receiving their assistance.
Persons who have chosen to take the vows of inclusion in the OCE are also required to contribute documentation of their efforts to provide for a growing library of understanding of the nature and issues facing the human race and how best to increase the quality of life for all. Members of the OCE have also committed to an active path of spiritual development in their own lives.
Would you like to join the OCE? Contact us at graceIWCC@gmail.com to begin a dialogue with the Senior Pastor.
