Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

Amen. Eternity became a fact proven by our Lord’s resurrection. Today is THE DAY to go to Church. “Jesus,” the Name “Yahshua,” The Lord saves!!!!

I preached today on John 20 how Mary went to get Peter and John b/c of her consternation at the empty tomb. The text says it was P & J went into the tomb that they remembered the Scripture had said that Jesus would rise again.
Then the text says something strange. And somewhat humorous, indicating that Peter and John must have been Baptists.
“Then they went home.”
Apparently leaving Mary standing there still perplexed as she had to ask the “gardener” where they’d taken the body.
Wonder how many who attended Easter services today will respond similarly….and then they went home. Amen. Selah. See you next year. Au revoir.
Hmmm. They remembered the Scripture had said that he would rise again. So they went home, to contemplate, to reflect, to ponder. Hmmm.
You would never suspect that in just a few weeks they’d meet a lame man outside a temple in Jerusalem who would teach them to dance, to leap and exhuberantly praise God. Which I proceeded to do, suggesting it might be an appropriate response to what we, ahem, celebrate this day.
At this, the Baptists gawked at me. They eyed me curiously. They shifted nervously. They cleared their throats and glanced from side to side hastily. And uncomfortably.
And then they went home.
So I came into my study, turned on Kuo, read the cork popping thing, schtopped at the schampain schtohr and, hic, am schtill poppin’ ‘n leapin’ and all that, hic, schttuff.
