A Returning Blogger

1 Comment

When a blogger returns to the scene after a absence it’s a joyous thing. Over time you get used to seeing them post daily and then all of a sudden they disappear so you wonder what happened to them. I am always glad to see folks come back after being away. For some a break is needed because they get writers block or perhaps they need to find their passion again.

Sometimes a bloggers computer is on the fritz or perhaps there are temporary Internet problems which make blogging impossible. I have taken breaks from blogging but I am not gone very long because this is a passion for me. Unfortunately some bloggers have to leave for safety sake and that is a horrible way to be forced offline.

To all who have come and gone and are back again its a joyous time. Don’t stay gone so long next time! Keep on blogging!

Rambling About The Death Penalty

12 Comments

Tonight in Georgia a woman is on death row set to die for the murder of her husband. Kelly Gissendaner did a very bad thing, but should it mean she should die too? You might be surprised that I have supported the death penalty, but now I am having new thoughts about it. Are we a society where capital punishment is still an option? In many places in this country and around the world it is.

Is justice really served with an eye for an eye? As Pope Francis said recently life is precious and with that being said, should we end one life to get redemption/revenge for the taking of another life. Some would say there are situations where it is warranted such as in the cases where children are concerned. As a believer I am concerned with the aspects of justice where some on death row are wrongly convicted of crimes they did not commit. So many are in prisons for life because of bad evidence and witness testimony.

This is not an easy thing to figure out. Perhaps we should all work to be sure things like crimes don’t happen so the death penalty are not an issue. Everyone has their own views and no two people agree about every aspect of this difficult subject. Death is a serious thing, it will always be.

Making Sense Out Of Insane Things

3 Comments

You thought I was going to write on something else by the title of this post. Well in a way I am but from a twist framed in what many of us are here for.

Friends, I believe in blogging and what it does to promote sane conversations about insane things. When you take time to think things through and hopefully make a little sense then it can help foster mature conversations. People can control the conversation here better than Facebook or other social platforms. We all have a great venue to share what is in our hearts and in our heads as well as where we live. So in this crazy world perhaps blogging is needed more than ever.

Perhaps we can change the world a little or perhaps talk someone off the cliff. Use your superpowers for good because the world needs as much of it as it can get.

Internet1I have done some tweaking of my site here to be a little more retro in web speak. This site is more than just a blog it’s a homepage or a hub if you will for self expression. This site is where I chronicle & curate the sacred, serious & silly things in my life. My homepage is also a way for me to connect with fellow bloggers from all walks of life. So in a way this is my home and I invite everyone to it. I have also made a couple of changes to the front page if you would like to check that out too. Thank you for your continued interest. Keep on blogging good people.
