Something About A Funeral

I went to a funeral at church today. The person being memorialized was the brother of a fellow church member. Frankly, it was good to go and be reminded of how precious life is. Also, it was good to focus on being there for a friend who is grieving.

Everyone is grieving something these days. Losing someone special is a pain that hangs around for a long time. Trust me, I know all too well.

While I was there at church, I was unaware of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sure, I had my phone with me, but I just kept it in the holster on my waist. Bill, who was being remembered, and his family were the focus of the moment. I was glad to be there because it was the right thing to do. Rest in power to Bill and others who have left us for eternity.

Hello There Friday

It’s another Friday and the second of 2026. May we try to find some humor in the tragedy of the world. My new Texts From Dog calendar is about delivering a moment of fun. Have a good day and a good weekend.

Righteous Anger, Righteous Profanity

The Minneapolis mayor was right to use profanity to get his point across. Right now, I feel like profanity and other things are necessary for the moments we are living in. Life depends on it. Decorum is out of the question right now when people are getting unalived and abducted. A strong response is what is needed and if some get offended then that is their problem. Fighting back is what must be done. So dammit, let’s give this all we have. There will be hell to pay.

Something About Healthcare

Although I have healthcare through my work others get it from other sources. Healthcare should be a fundamental human right in the wealthiest nation on Earth.

Living In Peace, Great Idea!

I have asked this question for years. Living in peace is a great idea. Peace should be a goal for everyone in life, and not just death. Peace to us all everyday.

Finding Out About Me – The Enneagram System

Everyone is different. We are all unique. The things I am interested in has a high nerd factor. Things like religion, professional wrestling, Linux and the media gives me life. However, I find myself alone in those pursuits.

Not everyone is geeked out about the things I find fascinating. With that being said, I enjoy the company of people and I want to have friendships that I can share those interests in.

Lately, I have been exploring more about my personality through the Enneagram. It’s about finding what makes you tick and so much more. I am not going to go into details, but the Enneagram personality tests do make a lot of sense to me. I am a number four (The Individualist). There are other factors that also create an individual personality profile. If you want to know more, do a search and there are loads of resources online.

All I want is to have meaningful friendships with people who get me. I do want the power to be myself without fear. Everyone should want that. I hope this makes sense.
