A puzzle, an idea and a slogan
November 15, 2008Let me point out something quite obvious–it has been months since I updated this site. In this case, pointing out the obvious is a ploy to allow me to explain why. Here’s why: I didn’t make time to do it. I got swamped with work. Political slogans are still spinning in my head. Yes, we can. Drill, baby, Drill. Fired up and ready to go. Between June and now, I went to Denver and St. Paul, wrote furiously, solved a puzzle and entertained an idea.
Here’s a little background. I hardly get angry. I get disappointed, unsatisfied, unhappy, but I can’t recall getting angry in the last two years or so. I feel righteous indignation, sure. There are plenty of reasons to rage: Injustice, racism, hubris. But I’m referring to every day occurences that usually produce anger, a driver cutting your way or an unstable workmate. I don’t angry at either. I don’t get angry at other things I should be upset about.
The puzzle is this: Why don’t I? That’s the puzzle I have solved.
I said I entertained an idea. Here’s the background: Christians believe in the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are co-equal. I notice that while Christians invoke the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is hardly acknowledged. So the idea I entertained is simply to invoke the Holy Spirit more often.
So it goes.
Cheers, mate.
