Do Hard Necessary Things

So. Week III with the Chromebook. Spelling better with the typing delay. Spacing still an issue. I think I type like a caveman with burly fingers. 

Got up at 2:30 am this morning to get three different trainings completed for school. About 9  hours straight, There was an impending Dec. 1 deadline. Chromebook invaluable for the work.  It shines with web access, video conferencing,  and sound.  Done.

When I feel a deadline around the corner, I don't delay. Any lack of getting the task finished previously was because I had more pressing issues. Facts are is that we have had a lot on our plates.

When I woke up, I knew today was the day to knock it out and I came out swinging. I am headed out of  town for Thanksgiving Weekend and hardly needed this over my head like some sword,

I have an enormous capacity to absorb work, to put my head down and get it done. I have pushed my entire adult life. So, exertion does not feel unusual. I can't say that I love pain but I have the ability to treat it is normative.

Just a note, I won't be posting pictures with this blog for the future. An added hassle. Use your damn imagination and save me a step will you.

Shake the Dust: Anis Mojgani

Pslam 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

What this poem also needs is grace....we shake off sin and mortality and take on Christ and immortality. This is for the fat girls This is for the little brothers For the former prom queen And for the milk crate ball players This is for the school yard wimps And the childhood bullies that tormented them Shake the dust. This is for the benches and the people sitting upon them. This is for the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns And for the men who have to hold down 3 jobs, Simply to hold up their children. For the nighttime schoolers And for the midnight bike riders trying to fly Shake the dust. For the two year olds who cann

Thomas Jefferson & Jesus

Image
I was reminded today, by a friend's post on Facebook, that it is Thomas Jefferson's birthday. So, I had a little party on my own of watching two documentaries on him through Netflix Instant. There is much I admire about Jefferson, there is much I dislike. He is polarizing figure. Besides the owning of slaves, the second most odious character flaw was his castration of the New Testament . See my slice of his slicing. Live by the razor, die by the razor. I did learn a cool new word call Amphiboligism which means ambiguity. The arrogance of Jefferson is astounding as if he had a more accurate vantage point of Jesus after 17 centuries than Jesus's own contemporaries and colleagues. In an empirical and scientific sense, he is at a considerable disadvantage in his postulations. When my wife and I visited Monticello on our Honeymoon, the most memorable moment there --besides my downing a can of Pringles all at once (in my own version of the "Pursuit of Happiness" w
