And as much as we like to think of ourselves as independent organisms - universes in ourselves - it sucks to perceive ourselves in such a way that we find painful. Regardless of how horrible we may perceive existence, at least we get to perceive it. If there is such a thing as God’s love, it is only in the sense that to exist is a favor. But whatever you want to think about God, you can’t possibly think that it is something that cares about us in the same way that a mother cares about her child. The Bible claims, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” It does show how God is just a linguistic trick that allows us to talk about the ineffable. God is just a word that explains why things exist. If God were evil, would it actually allow anything as wonderful as ice cream? I forget where he came down on the issue. But he was quick to note that there isn’t just evil in the world. Like a lot of people, he was interested in theodicy and why God allows evil in the world. It reminds me of some philosopher I was reading who was talking about the nature of God. And the morning music posts remind me that perhaps not everything in the world is terrible. What is there to talk about anyway? Doing the anniversary posts are interesting because they constantly remind me that nothing much has changed.

And even that may be a bit too much to take. And I do believe that some day soon they are going to have to take me away to a quiet place where the most upsetting thing will be sparrows chirping in the morning. I don’t deal well with this level of stress. Now everything just gets jammed into the little bit of time that I manage between other things I’m working on.Ĭurrently, I’m managing writers, writing my own freelance stuff, rewriting a book for publication, and taking frequent breaks to scream into a pillow. They weren’t done the day before as used to be the case. I’ve managed to get the last couple of 11:05 publications up just because I happened to be able to. I’m trying to be solid with the anniversary and music posts. Thus far, all that has been affected has been the afternoon article.

As you have no doubt noticed, the publishing schedule around here has gotten a bit less dependable.
