Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2016-196: Election 2016: Target Practice

Okay folks, it is time to wake up and smell the nominee.  The Republican convention is over.  The candidate has been chosen.  You may not like the choice.  I am not overjoyed.  But the time for big talk and debating pro’s and con’s is over.  It doesn’t do any good for people who do not want Hillary as president and a Supreme Court staffed with Bader Ginsburg clones to keep pointing out all the weaknesses of Donald Trump.  It is time to grow up.  As a child you could express your opinion of which is better for dinner, pizza or tacos, but it didn’t change the fact that you were having tuna casserole. 

We need to deal with it.

If you want to go third party then admit it and get on with trumpeting the virtues of your candidate but make the attacks on Hillary, not Donald.  It doesn’t do any good to trumpet the virtues of your favorite over the choice of the convention.

I am still pretending to be on the fence but I keep looking at assured disaster or a sliver of hope.  Remember that even a broken clock is right two times a day.

  1. I'm with you. I just hope it's tuna casserole we get and not leftover rotten eggs.

    1. Actually, I like tuna casserole but I know other people don't. Maybe I should have said liver and onions and offended another group.

      Grace and peace.

  2. It appears that you have jumped onto the Trump Train. Congrats.

    1. I wouldn't say I have jumped on but I am aware that it may be the only train that has a chance in taking me where I want to go.

      Grace and peace

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
