Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Congrats to Michigan for beating UConn for the National Championship last night. The game played out as I predicted with a close game at halftime and the Michigan pulled away in the second half. I also predicted I may go to bed before the game ended (Michigan was up 9 will a little time left) and I'd miss One Shinning Moment once again because of the late tipoff.

The Grateful Brain

Going to have to start gratefulness exercises. What do I have to lose compared to the peace of mind I might gain?

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack. 

Tonight's the national championship game between Michigan and UConn but the game does not tip off till an estimated 8:50 PM. The late start almost guarantees I won't see One Shining Moment and may mean I don't bother watching the end of the game. Being honest here - I care much more about getting a good nigh of sleep now than either one of these programs.

Knowledge

What is the road to knowledge is one of the most asked questions in life.

Have a new post up on Substack on what some have said about the importance of knowledge. I wanted to share and hope one or may take hold with you.

No one ever said it was an easy path but it’s one you need to follow - though each in their own way.

Reasons to Believe in the Historically Risen Jesus

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

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

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

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

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

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

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.
