Another talk


I spoke in church again this week.  I addressed a different audience.  This week was to a group of single adults.  It was a slightly different topic--love.  Here is the audio recording of the talk.  Sorry, there are places where my voice is kind of soft.  That's just how I talk.  This is a big file, about 13 MB.  You can download it here.

    Oh Keith we love you. What a great talk.

    I sometimes am afraid to call people too :-) and I ask Brent to do it. :-)

    I am sorry we did notice that you were quietly suffering. We are all brothers and sisters and I am so grateful to be your sister.

    I am so grateful for how much you loved and cared for Karen too, as her eternal companion. It was sweet to hear you recall those tender memories of truly loving her. I know she is anxiously doing all in her power to love you from her side of the veil, and longs to have you with her for eternity. Her joy was to have you with her, her deepest sadness was to be separated from you (whether it was for a treatment, at weddings with family, or in death). I know she held on so long because she didn't want to leave you. We love you too Keith. We need to come see your home in Knoxville! I am so glad you are having opportunities to grow and to bless the lives of others!

Anyone is allowed to comment on this blog. As you can tell from reading my blog, I am very opinionated and I'm not afraid to share my opinion. You're welcome to disagree with me as mildly or vehemently as you like, but be aware that I will reply with my own opinions, very strongly. If you don't want that kind of open discussion, or you think it will hurt your feelings, then please avoid posting. I do try to be respectful, but my verbology often comes across as brusque.

Hitchens v god

I'm rather ashamed to admit that I just recently discovered Christopher Hitchens. And, while I normally add my own thoughts and commentary to videos when I post them here, in nearly every Hitchens video that I've encountered, I have not a single word to add. He is so articulate and does such a good job of presenting his case that I couldn't possibly add anything to it.  I would definitely be interested if any of my readers have any comments to make in regards to what Hitches says in this video. Enjoy.

Do you really believe?

This is Richard Dawkin's talk from yesterday's Reason Rally in Washington DC.  He makes several good points, but the one that stuck out to me the most was when he told people that they should challenge someone when they say they're religious.  The example he gave is when someone says they're Catholic, ask them if they really  believe that when a priest blesses a wafer that it actually turns into the body of Christ, or that the wine actually turns into his blood.  So, this post will be dedicated to me asking any of my reader base who are religious, do you really  believe what your religions teach? For those who are Christian (any denomination thereof), Do you really believe every word of the Bible to be the word of god?  If so, read every word of the Bible and then come back and answer the question again. Do you really believe that a snake tricked Eve into eating fruit that made her suddenly unfit to live in the paradisiacal garden god had just m...

Stand for what is right

 I was raised religious. In my religion, it is customary for young people (roughly teenage years) to receive a special blessing which is given by a patriarch in the community and typed up and presented as a letter for the recipient to keep. In the one I received as a teenager, one of the lines it included was "stand for what is right even if it means standing alone". This is a message which I have taken to heart since that time. I am a relatively stubborn person and I have a strong sense of what I believe to be right and what I believe to be wrong. And I feel very strongly about standing up for what I believe to be right and denouncing the things that I believe to be wrong.  I understand that there are many reasons people had in '16, '20, and just this year to vote for Trump. I know some people reveled in the way he insults certain groups of people--the bullying he openly and unashamedly engages in. I know that many people are largely unaware of the bullying he does, ...
