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 2018-281: Another Drone, RIP

If you find my drone, just leave it on the front porch.  The last time we saw it was as it passed over the house, still rising but heading toward the valley.  It was an impressive flight.

I received it as a gift from my kids and my son was the pilot in “control” when it made its break for freedom.  We flew it in the house a bit and then went for the challenge of the great outdoors.  Unfortunately the winds of Texas were more than we bargained for. 

We looked in the trees and down the hill.  We talked to the neighbors and they had lost one over Thanksgiving and evidently the guy down the road had lost one recently.  I had hopes it would be like looking for my golf ball.  Often when I can’t find mine I find someone else’s.  I wonder how many drones are waiting out in the wilderness for someone to find them?

It was fun while it lasted.  If I was a ten year old boy I would be shattered.  Being older and wiser, I shrug my shoulders and get on with life.  The kids will probably buy me another one so they can play with it.

    1. It is payback for all the things I bought them so I could play with them.

      Grace and peace

  2. Oldest son, flying his drone in the park, managed to set it down in the middle of the river. Being older and wiser, he too shrugged, told me with a sheepish grin what had happened and ordered another, which I think he till has. He stays away from the river now.

    1. I think you are hinting that we should learn from our mistakes. It is always good to converse with an optimist.

      Grace and peace
