Last Week, This Week, Next Week and Choosing My Own Beliefs

Last week I invited you all on a small excursion down memory lane. I carried these thoughts and ideas with me throughout this week, and now I have been lead to wonder whether I have great expectations for next week and also beyond that: am I free to choose my own beliefs about past, present… Continue reading Last Week, This Week, Next Week and Choosing My Own Beliefs

This Life is Different

I know a woman who is a singer / songwriter — more or less. She’s written some Christmas-themed songs, and she is currently on tour singing some of these and also some of her favorites.

Imagine you were arriving at some planet somewhere and you discovered a developed civilization with… Continue reading We Come in Peace … SHOOT TO KILL !!!
