Wavy gravy

On Thursday, the deaconess and I contemplated our national day of Thanksgiving (at the home of our nephew Greg and his wife Jennie in Rocklin, CA), and were in gratitude for our immediate family blessings.

We water-boarded our turkey in gravy, and promptly ate it; yum.

Job creation is not the president's goal

I found a curious headline on the web:

"Obama: Job Creation Not Goal of Dec.3 Jobs Forum" --headline, Associated Press, Nov.18

► Talk about setting low expectations! :-0

Divergent effects of sin and grace

I went on my contemplative walk as I am wont to do in the afternoon. I sighed and blurted out, "Why is there so much evil in the world."

But instinctively I immediately caught myself with the reply that there is so much more good in the world. I knew this was so. I know this to be a fact; I know it to be so scientifically, and I know it to be so spiritually. I was simply venting inside.

I mean, look at the obvious things that show this to be so: all of the equilibrium that is maintained in the world through the laws of nature. And in the spiritual realm; as a missionary I know first-hand that there are more good people in the world than there are evil ones. I find this to be an empirical truth.
