I am not having a crisis of faith but I am having a crisis of church. I like being authentic in my spiritual gatherings and I am most familiar with going to a Catholic church if I want to gather with other Jesus lovers. I have to confess that… Read full post »

Crazy Compassion does not distinguish and discern. Compassion tends to lack fine critical or creative skills and certainly does not write eloquently like Shakespeare or sexy erotic like Anais Nin. Might as well hand a paint brush to a duck than hand it over to Compassion.

I got to thinking after the Maine election. I do some crazy thinking and ask myself questions like, "What conservative, born again Christian would vote for medical marijuana?" or "What right winger would vote for medical marijuana?"

What?! No makeup!! Horrors!! Shock! Awe! I am mystified by makeup. The idea of makeup is a concept that has escaped my application. Every once in a while, I decide to apply makeup and disaster follows.

Forget foundation! I like my canvas raw like my fish. I don't get too… Read full post »
