When You Don’t Know What To Do

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?

That’s where I am.

“Do what you do know to do.” I’ve heard that one. But how does it answer the question?

“Do something; don’t just do nothing.” Right. OK. Still not very helpful…and potentially perilous. Read it all

Is Any Afflicted?

As I shuffled through the cemetery’s expired grass this evening — troubled — a verse fragment suddenly dashed almost furtively through my chilly, swirling cranial fog.

Penn State, Nineveh, Sandusky, and Me

You know about Jerry Sandusky and Pennsylvania State University and the sodomy stuff, right? Sure you do (you’re online, after all).

Do you also know about Nineveh and the evil in that city?

Who Prays Good for Muslims?

Muslims are feared. Muslims are vilified. Muslims are hated.
