Thought Of The Day 10242025

Leave a comment

Patriotism is NOT about the biggest flags and waving them in a parade. It’s about being sure your friends and neighbors are taken care of. It’s about not doing harm to those who already are on the fringes of life. Furthermore, it’s about respecting people for who they are and who they want to be.

Being a patriot means being friends with countries around the world and respecting their sovereignty. It means elevating all citizens to a place where they feel secure, safe, and truly free. Life, liberty, happiness are universal concepts that are at the heart of what patriotism should aspire to be, anything less is just putting on a performance.

Getting Older And Getting A Discount

2 Comments

I appreciate a discount like anyone. Money is tight for everyone. However, being reminded you are getting older and because of that you get a discount on phone service can be a reality that isn’t fun to face.

We got this in the mail from T-Mobile, and they want us to come back as customers. They highlighted the fact that I am eligible for some age-related discounts now. That depresses me a little.

Next Friday, I am turning 56, and I am a member of Generation-X. However, I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old, the attitude of someone a little younger, but my body feels like someone in their mid 50s. It’s good to have a youthful spirit about you.

Our current phone provider serves us well. We won’t be making a change. However, I guess getting these discounts can be beneficial, just don’t want to be reminded I am getting older for reasons.

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)

1 Comment

Tonight, we have begun a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica from 2024 that was produced by Ronald D. Moore. This update of the late-1970s program takes a decidedly darker tone as what’s left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians – led by de facto president Laura Roslin – in search of a mythical planet called Earth.

I grew up a fan of the 1978 edition, but this updated version is my favorite. It’s full of complex issues, like family, politics, survival, espionage, sociology, religion, mysticism, and more. This show has a great cast including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackoff, Jamie Bamber, and Tricia Helfer.

East Tennessee Episcopal Convention 2025

2 Comments

Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.
