Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

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 2017-176: On the Street: More Like on the Road, part 4 of ?

I am on the road, but up at 4:00 A.M.  Lights and TV turned on by some mysterious force might have something to do with it, but I am up.  Fox News was on and the story was that Governor Brown of California was going to ignore President Trump and have California continue to abide by the Kyoto agreements on climate change.  He has been meeting with Chinese leaders and evidently there are eleven states doing the same.

I left California because of this type of nonsense and I am glad I have gone.  At the same time I want to support California’s right to be stupid.  The Constitution does not say only the federal government can show stupidity.  Idiocy is not mentioned at all, so it is reserved as a right of the states.  This should be an example of Federalism at work.  President Trump calls the Kyoto guidelines “job killers”.  I agree, but Governor Brown and the other governors are free to prove him wrong. 

Meanwhile I am on the road to Texas.  All those companies that might have started up in California or expanded in California are welcome to look at my new home state as an alternative.

To be continued...

  1. It's their own throats those states and cities are cutting. I say let them and let them suffer the consequences while other states prosper.

    1. I wish I could think of a way to keep them from bailing themselves out if they ever take control of Washington again.

      Grace and peace.
