Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2017-175: Mad Media

My childhood of reading Mad Magazine prepared me well for modern media.  It was the one expense I always found the coin for.  I enjoyed its brand of humor.  It was good training for what I see as “news” today.

The difference was, I knew it was humor.  I read what is called serious news today and I am not sure that the “reporter” realizes that he is more in the mold of Mad Magazine than.....  I am sorry, I can’t think of a positive comparison today.

It would be interesting to see what history will say about this time period.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
