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 2025-440: Firsts: Chain Saw

I have trees that need dead wood cut out.  My bow saw isn’t up to the task with my old muscles involved.  So I finally bought a chain saw.  

Given my mechanical ability I went for an electric and got one with a chord.  It is amazing how quick it goes through the wood.  I now have to work on caution.  I really don’t want to lose a body part at this stage of the game.  I also don’t need a big branch swinging around and breaking some bones, not to mention my pride.

If I suddenly disappear it may be something more painful than death.

    I love my battery chain saw and am giving my gas Stihl chainsaws to my son. It has become my “go-to” saw and I haven’t even started up my others in more than 2 years….this is all after I didn’t think I’d like it. Anyway, I’m enjoying CS Lewis’s “Surprised by Joy”…thanks!

      With my lack of mechanical ability the two stroke engines drive me crazy, not that you would notice the difference.

      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.
