Remember back in the day when people had a bottle of scotch in their desk drawer for that day drinking pick-me-up? Those were the days.
Happy Fifth Anniversary All Elite Wrestling At Double Or Nothing
Tonight marks the fifth anniversary of the professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view event at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. I have been a fan of AEW since the beginning and have enjoyed the slams and high-flying action each week on their shows like “Dynamite”, “Collision”, and “Rampage”. I won’t be watching the event tonight in person but will keep track of it through Threads and other sources on the web. To all those wrestlers past and present thank you for putting on great shows to give us all a little escape from our reality. Professional wrestling is awesome!
A Memorial Day Public Service Announcement
It is Memorial Day in America. That means there will be a 3-day weekend for most folks including those who work in our courts. As a courtesy remember the judge doesn’t come into Tuesday so don’t do anything to get yourself into trouble.
I Do Practice Religion, Respectfully
My name is Tony and I have been a religious person all my life. My spiritual journey has been one of faith and doubts. My belief in God is a part of who I am but not all that I am. As I have said before I am in no way a perfect believer. No one should be because it requires lots of practice and sometimes you fail but that is OK.
I know that Jesus loves me for who I am as a unique creation. My spiritual life is based on the notion that God is with me and has given me free will to make my own decisions and to make mistakes along the way. I am grateful to be with my missus who is traveling the same road.
My personal practice is based on loving God and my neighbors. Attending worship and having fellowship with fellow believers. I attend the rites and rituals of The Episcopal Church which is a part of the Anglican Communion. From there I find comfort and purpose to make the world better through loving those in my community who are different and even those who are not religious themselves.
As a religious person, I have made it my vow to be respectful to all. God would like it if all his kids would do that. However, when you see injustice you gotta call it out. That means you can’t always be nice and not everyone will like you.
All I ask for is understanding. My faith practice is not up for debate. I will answer questions to the best of my ability. I hope we can still be friends.
Always Ready For Friday
I’m always ready for Friday. I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend ahead.
