Imagine That!
It’s funny how things work out. What we think will never happen does and what we think should happen never materializes. That’s one of the reasons the social engineering our government too often attempts these days is almost universally a bad idea. We think we know how things will work out, but we are almost always wrong. It’s like Dirty Harry said.

Priorities
We’re all old now, but some of us grew up in the golden age of manned space travel. Mercury-Gemini-Apollo-Skylab-Space Shuttle are words intimately familiar to us. It was ever so exciting and adventurous. As a science geek, I was glued to the TV for every launch and recovery. In second grade we had what passed in those days for a “portable” (bloack-and-white) TV and we dragged it to school where we spent the day watching John Glenn’s first orbital journey. But then I got older and was told, much to my disappointment, that the world had higher priorities than space exploration. My dreams of moon colonies and Mars mission were dashed. Priorities…

God, The Intellect and Advent
Quite a fascinating article, by Peter Savodnik appeared in The Free Press yesterday about how many influential public intellectuals are “suddenly” finding faith. It deserves comment on this First Sunday of Advent.

How Christians Are Killing Christianity
A Washington Times op-ed points out how faith is necessary for our nation to work well. Agreed. But sometimes those of us of faith are our own worst enemies.

The Best Argument For the Electoral College, Ever
The race for the next Governor of California is, given Katie Porter’s face-plant, turning into a three-ring circus. With the jungle primary system, the host thinks the leading Republican, Steve Hilton, has a shot. The Democrat Party is currently as fractious as the Southern California earthquake fault system, but I do not share his optimism. My reasons are for another post, another time. Meanwhile, the Dem zoo is all working to see who can get to the left farthest, fastest and that has lead to one candidate offering a position that is simply remarkable.

It’s Not About Something To Be Thankful For
I have been trying since the weekend past t0 make a single point – that we should be thankful. Not wait around for something to be thankful for, but for what we have now, in this moment, even if it is not exactly what we want or somehow less than ideal. Thankfulness as an attitude makes every thing better.

Perception, Reality, Thankfulness
Jim Geraghty, a definite realist, but no Trump fan, wrote yesterday about economic reality and the fact that Trump’s braggadocio about affordability may exceed reality. The headline was , “You Can’t Spin People’s Perceptions of Their Own Finances.” Geraghty has a point – to a point.

Little Data, Lots of Fear, and “An Abundance of Caution”
Post covid, few phrases should be more chilling than “an abundance of caution.” Based on that phrase, when data on the actual danger of covid was quite scarce, we shuttered the world. The cost remains immeasurable to this day. Much has been poured into examining the educational costs, and they are extreme. The economic loss can probably only be (poorly) estimated. We know there have been rises in deaths from disease that might have been preventable had healthcare permitted screening and routine examinations. We will be paying for our covid related “abundance of caution” for a very, very long time. And yet that phrase continues to haunt us.

The California Nightmare
I hope you are following the story of the Palisades fire last January in Los Angeles. We are in this space, but I worry that many of you tune out thinking I am just obsessed with justifying my decision to leave the state. Nothing could be further from the truth – California is a cautionary tale and it should be carefully studied and understood lest the rest of us follow suit. There is shocking new information in just the last few days.

Gratitude Is What Makes America Great
Yesterday I hinted that socialism might be a Christian ideal, but that it was impossible to execute until everyone was on the Christian bandwagon. I have been a lot of places and seen a lot of socialism, there is one single reason why it just does not work unless everyone knows God.
