As recent as the second half of last year (2020) I talked with my Mom about Heaven. And I recall, in one of our Sunday phone conversations, saying how she wouldn’t be my Mom in Heaven. I told her, “Just think…in Heaven, you’ll be my sister forever.” And she said something like, “Now, wait a minute. I’m always gonna be your mom.” That’s a … Read the rest…
I hadn’t heard it in a while. But just a couple of days ago I heard it in a car next to me as I sat in a grocery store parking lot. A couple of kids, who weren’t adjusting the volume in their voices to compensate for the rolled-down windows, disagreed about something. And one said something I didn’t quite catch.

I just saw three weak references to time by Christians. And all three of them talked about when time shall be no more. Sadly, those Christians are perpetuating an impossibility. Because there will never be a time when there is no time. See, how it even sounds silly when you put it that way? To say time shall be no more is the same … Read the rest…
On May 3, back in 1968, the Beach Boys got “spiritual” and it didn’t go well. They started a US tour with a weird (they didn’t think so, but he was) opening act. And the reaction to Maharishi Mahesh (can I get a pic-a-nic basket) Yogi wasn’t quite what they expected. Apparently the California Girls (and boys) weren’t ready for some transcendental meditation mixed … Read the rest…
