A Ray of Sunlight?

Posted in Can't Make This Stuff Up, WTF Disease on January 29, 2007 | 33 Comments »

The whole time I’ve been dealing with WTF Disease, two things have remained rather constant: I have said that I believed I was as likely to be diagnosed by a blogger as by a medical professional, and I have longed for someone to look at me as a whole, at the big picture, at [...]

What I’ve Been Thinking

Posted in About Me, Can't Make This Stuff Up, Family, WTF Disease, Work on January 24, 2007 | 48 Comments »

Even though I’m often preoccupied with thoughts of WTF, I do sometimes think other things. Brilliant, profound things, of tremendous value to mankind. Or not. Here are a few recent ponderings . . .

I ate an embarrassing number of Oreos. If you people (Jif, LG) would buy normal size Oreos, I would [...]

(a theological discussion of intercessory prayer)
I was telling Jif about what I’d seen on “Ellen” one day last week (btw, Ellen is the best anti-depressant I’ve encountered). There was this 88-year-old woman, Gladys, that Ellen called on the telephone, and Gladys says, among other things, “Listen, I’ll be honest with you, I love Jesus, [...]

Taking Names

Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2007 | 58 Comments »

I didn’t think I could be surprised and/or amused by a strange name anymore. I thought I’d heard it all. Today, though, I encountered a young woman called “Kleshea.” Pronounced like (I kid you not), “cliche.” When I told Jif about this, it led us down memory lane, through a few of the unusual [...]
