Lately I have come to appreciate the sounds of silence. No TV. No music. Just quiet. Peaceful quiet. My landlord hasn’t rented the apartment above me so it has been empty for months. I very rarely hear my other neighbor (in the front apartment) and the place above her is empty […] A friend and I noticed, when we were watching Dancing with the Stars, that one of the stars very apparently had plastic surgery. Well, maybe not surgery per se but definitely botox injections. It is obvious in that he, and yes it is a he, has that shiny botox look about his forehead […] In Bible class this morning, we finished up a study on the Gospel of Mark. Mark is an interesting book of the Bible and one I had never really studied before. What did I find out about it? Mark skips the Nativity story and starts right with Jesus getting baptized.

The sunset tonight on my way home from a St. Patrick’s Day dinner: Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Everyone!! […] A few thoughts for the Ides of March: Today is the Ides of March. No, I’m not referring to the movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124035/) but the date on the calendar. The word “ides” is from the Latin “idus” and was used by the Romans to indicate the day in the middle of the month. But, it is […] Yesterday morning in Bible class we were discussing the end of the world. Apocalypse. End of Days.
