We now have another lad to

Posted on Tue, 01 Aug 2017

We now have another lad to try to understand. Again, you seem to guess so much of the why of what can seem odd behaviours. Sugar relaxes away from tension and the jarring thoughts, doesn't it? I'm glad you brought in again his happy memories of...

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2017

Posted on Tue, 04 Jul 2017

It is interesting that though some details of our history gets vague, we can have very sharp recollections of feelings we had of hurt, confusion, misunderstanding, panic, and growing understanding of others' reactions which at first seemed...

Posted on Sat, 24 Jun 2017

There seems to be a four-dimensional effect here as the time element comes in with the stretching and opening, and fading, withering. And the shrivelling uprooted weeds in piles with the insects crawling around and through (the weeds are the '...

Posted on Thu, 22 Jun 2017

I would say that Darwin's theory is not sound science, but hypothesis, a suggestion, which if he were alive now, he would probably hesitate more to suggest, as the methods and evidence he believed would become more clear, have retreated with more...

Faith, in the BIble, is based

Posted on Wed, 17 May 2017

Faith, in the BIble, is based on evidence. The intricacy of creation points to a Creator/Designer (and I am science-trained). The words and life of Jesus Christ when examined tell us of the reality of a true God, who exists, cares, can be known...

How tragic. I wouldn't think

Posted on Thu, 30 Mar 2017
