The arson fire on Aug. 6 that burned our uninsured house has put the thought in my mind that there is something we are meant to learn, or something we are meant to share with people, connected to our experience with the fire. Which may may not have anything to do with the main subject … Continue reading We Have No Need To Let God Off The Hook
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
God Moments – At Liberty (MO) Hospital
Thank you, Gideons International! Part of my healing regimen is to walk as often as possible, to prevent blood clots. During walking the floor I happened to walk into a waiting room on the floor, and discover the New Testament/Psalms left by the Gideons International. That brought back many memories of my dad and mom. … Continue reading God Moments – At Liberty (MO) Hospital
Live not by Lies
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in 1974 wrote an Essay Live not by Lies. It is worth reading still today. I have several update observations based on it, ways that people have tried to make me live by lies. "Stop shouting/yelling at me!" People accuse me of this quite often, usually, but not always, when I have actually … Continue reading Live not by Lies
Watching grass growing
I need to write. I want to write. I want to write about ordinary things because they are significant. I find it hard to write about ordinary things. My life keeps throwing non-ordinary (as opposed to extraordinary) things at me. My writing keeps crescendoing into a cross between a symphony orchestra and a screeching cat. … Continue reading Watching grass growing
Whatever Way the Wind Blows
I have been basically offline for several days, the past few in the hospital (I am still there), the couple before that my brain offline sinking into the infection that put me into the hospital. And so now I am trying to write a post, trying to decide what tone to strike, one of hope, … Continue reading Whatever Way the Wind Blows
Spam Callers
One habit that I have changed since the house fire, is I am answering all calls on my cell phone. Because the emergency services we have put feelers out to, and which may be calling us back, will of course be unrecognized numbers, and may sometimes be listed as spam calls or telemarketers by the … Continue reading Spam Callers

When you just can’t win
I'm sure all of us have felt this way. Doesn't matter where the line is: grocery store,vsecurity check, ticket counter, you choose a line that seems the shortest and best for getting through the quickest, and you end up waiting a long time, while all the other lines get through long before you do. Jasini … Continue reading When you just can’t win
I am not playing games
Bullies are drawn to me, I know not why. They don't seem like bullies at first. But whatever agreement we have made, soon enough they try to change it to something else they like better. And of course my not agreeing to the change is being unreasonable. The latest example we helped out by giving … Continue reading I am not playing games
