Eight reasons to believe in the historically risen Jesus.
Paul on the road to Damascus has always been the thing that gave my logical mind pause.
"[O]f course God exists. Even if God turns out to be just science in fancy pyjamas." - Ian Martin

Easter Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
My mind tends towards a historical and scientific bent and I've come to believe in the risen Jesus. You must come to your own conclusion because believing in something just because someone tells you to have belief is not true belief. Let your eyes see, your ears hear, and your mind weigh the evidence for yourself.

College Football Thoughts
Some college football offseason thoughts and observations the day after the President's EO as we await the Final Four tipoff.
Was having these thoughts anyway and figured may as well jot them down and post on Substack. Of course unless the courts strike down any of the thoughts contained herein.
Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Yesterday Pope Leo XIV became the first Pope since 1994 to personally carry the cross for all 14 stations of the cross on Good Friday. Admit that I'm having flashbacks growing up Catholic and of having to just go through each station at catechism. This trauma may explain why I've never felt the desire to watch The Passion of the Christ.

Good Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Before Pete Hesgeth said hold my beer and started firing Army generals - President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. Rumors are that Bondi was fired over leaks to Representative Eric Swalwell or perhaps the lack of charges against Jeffrey Epstein clients. Either way the Sunday news shows may be a little preoccupied this weekend with the holiday. So good timing I guess?

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

President Trump gave a speech last night on TV saying the war in Iran is almost over. Trump estimated another 3 more weeks. I was amused seeing this estimate thinking the left and the media have 3-more years of this. What will they be complaining about in 3-years - that the US hasn't gotten to Mars yet and Trump promised Mars?

Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

KitKat says that the missing KitKats is not a PR stunt and they really want to find the missing shipment but doesn't feel like a PR stunt at this point? Other brands like Outback Steakhouse are openly joking about it and suddenly people are thinking and talking about KitKats. All just in time for Easter a time when chocolate goods like KitKat are traditionally consumed. Just saying.

- Kevin Kelly: Your security is my security. Understand the idea that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link but am uncomfortable with the idea of compelled Internet safety belts especially when regulations will be enforced by the equivalent of DMV.
- From the archives: Read old books.
Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Final Four has two great games on Saturday but I would not be surprised that both Michigan and Arizona beat each other up so much that the winner does not have much left to beat the winner of the Illinois and UConn game on Monday. I could be completely wrong about this though.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Celtics clinched a playoff birth with their win over Charlotte yesterday. Boston was expected to make the playoffs but the way they did it was surprising. A 50+ win season and with no Jalen Brown or Derrick White in the clincher? Jason Tatum scored 32 points in the victory. The same Jason Tatum that is coming back from a torn Achilles ankle. Hard not to be bullish on the Celts chances.
