It is amazing how many things you learn about as you get older. They can’t be new since they are part of the human condition but I don’t remember ever hearing about them.
The topic of revelation today is “floaters”.
If you are older you know of what I speak. If you are younger you think of root beer or leaves in a stream. If you are younger it would never occur to you that such things exists. I wonder if my elders never spoke of them or if I just ignored it.
Floaters are generated when small parts of your retina break off and begin to float around in your vitreous humor. Many are little specks that your learn to ignore. Others are large enough that you think there are mice running along beside your car. At best it is irritating. Think of being surrounded by non-existent mosquitoes. At worst it can be dangerous.
I am told that they eventually dissolve. Such a process is not obvious because they seem to keep getting replaced.
Put it in your file of things to look forward to along with arthritis and memory loss. Try to have a happy day while you still can.

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.
