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 2018-278: How Do You Know if You Are Sick?

I am back.  I am not sure you noticed I was gone but 24 hours after arriving at the home where we celebrated Thanksgiving, I started to fade.  I assume it was some sort of flu with muscle aches and such.  I did little except sleep for about 48 hours with a couple of cups of soup squeezed in.  I am sure you have had such an experience but it has been along time for me.  I have been doing blogs for eight years and I have never before missed a day because I was too sick to think.

Several indicators told me it was real.  For one I experienced no hunger and did not think about food from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.  For another I never even opened my computer.  When I was napping in my chair I never picked up a book.  I had no interest in turning on the Christmas music.

Since I am not 30 any more, nor 40, nor 50, nor 60, I expect that it will be a gradual return to what is normal for the 71 year old man.  It is hard to know at times if there is really something wrong or if it is just an unsupported hardware system. 

Whom do I blame?  It could have been the toddler or the teenager at the home.  It could have been the vegetable tray we got at the local store.  It could have been a government plot to put me out of action while they took over the country.  It could have been I forgot to wash my hands at a key point in my activities. 

Now it is on to advent.

  1. Hadn't missed you yet (It usually takes me about three days.), but I'm glad you're feeling better.

    1. It seemed longer to me that it probably was. It was a weird experience.

      Grace and peace

  2. Glad you're feeling better. Sometimes the germs get you no matter how careful you are.

    1. I will be washing my hands a lot in the next few weeks until it wears off.

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.
