I am a churchgoer. I have been a Baptist, Methodist and now Episcopalian. Church has been an important part of my life. So that makes me a parishioner. That word to me is about community, responsibility, and discipleship. This word I think is about inclusion, or it should be. Parishioners are about worship to a higher power or God if you will. They are also about service to one another. Being a parishioner is also a calling. It is about abiding in God’s love and the call to the people who gather in divine presence.

How Do You Take Your Coffee or Tea?
Using the above graphic illustrating the varying darkness or lightness of coffee, how do you take your brew. Dark like one or barely any coffee at all in seven. Personally, I am a 3 or a 4 guy myself. The same scale would also work if you are more of a fan of hot tea. What say you?
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Middle Aged
As a person in his 50s, I am certainly middle-aged. My sense of humor gravitates to that of a fifteen-year-old boy, it’s still hard to believe I am middle-aged. My body does tell me a different story there. Stuff hurts, and I need my bifocals to read almost everything.
I still listen to the music of my youth (the 70s and 80s). I try to keep up with what is going on these days to stay somewhat relevant. Being conversant with multiple generations is a good thing.
Being middle-aged, especially as a member of Generation X can be fun at times. Our history has let us see a lot of innovation and changes in the world. Like any era in history, you have got to roll with the punches and be flexible. Getting older is not for the feint of heart, though.
If You Know, You Know
If you know, you know. It just means more symbolically right now. This is from the holiday favorite “Independence Day” where aliens blow lots of stuff up, including much of Washington DC.
Wednesday Wisdom
Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. – Proverbs 14:31 of The Holy Bible.
This is truly some Wednesday wisdom.
It’s Cheeseburger Day!
Today is Cheeseburger Day, and we celebrated by going to a local place called Monkey Town Brewing and Restaurant. To honor the occasion I got the Elvis Burger which has two 1/4 lb patties, bacon, BBQ sauce, onion ring and of course cheese. I paired it with tater tots and some refreshing ice-cold Pepsi.
This is the pimento cheeseburger that my missus had. It featured bacon, candied jalapeño, and fried green tomato. She paired it with sidewinder fries.
