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 2025-147: Three Cheers for Al

Most of America is aware of how congressman Al Green made a fool of himself during the president’s recent speech.  At the time I had some very primeval urges that I wished to express to him.  Upon reflection I think I would rather thank him.

Until this last time that the Democrats gained control of everything there was a charade played in the halls of government.  It involved courtesy and decorum.  It was useful in being able to discuss things but rather superficial in that no one really listened.  It became a little fantasy play put on by people who enjoyed the acting.

Al Green was the ringleader for the theatrics of the Democrats.  He had quite a supporting cast.  They played it to the hilt.  I guess you could say the Republicans did their part by rubbing it in.  They repeatedly stood to applaud and figuratively say, “Na, na, na, na.”  Since there are so many Rinos I am not sure that the sincerity and honesty award would not go to the Democrats.

Give us more.  The clarity that came through from the Democrats was refreshing.  I can see them not wanting to clap for the parents of murdered children.  To do so would admit their own culpability.  I can’t figure why they would not stand and cheer for a boy who is struggling with brain cancer and had a dream fulfilled.  My conclusion was that it was another moment of honesty for them, but then I am biased.

I guess it explains why most of the speeches you see on the internet are really given to an empty chamber.
