Quick One! Seems God also uses Photoshop

Did anyone see the fog out in Baltimore today? It looked as if God applied a gaussian blur filter to make everything look dreamy and romantic...unless you're driving and it's just poor visibility as far as you're concerned.

My Alien Abduction Survival Story

The ETs now have me where they've wanted me...at my wits' end and on my knees, completely at their mercy. They have my attention alright, howbeit not undivided. My wife is dying in excruciating pain and it's all their doing. They'd implanted the alien pod that had been growing inside her and was now trying to claw its way out of her belly. Okay maybe it wasn't all their doing. If only I hadn't been so stupid to get us in such a compromising situation. The aliens should never have captured us in the first place. It should have been some poor unlucky slob in my place. I'm a trained soldier, my instincts have been honed to avoid scenarios like this. Funnily enough they'd treated us nicely. None of the lower gastrointestinal probing we hear about in those abduction stories. Just strange heavenly lights and strange heavenly sounds. It was like heaven for the relatively brief period we were there. We were grateful to have been spared. Not many make it back t...

Quick One! Cloudy with a Chance of Geometrical Shapes

Image
What if, on one cold winter night, it started snowing circles, and rectangles, and triangles? After ruling out math loving aliens or the Ghost of Maths Yet to Come, I'd probably think someone was having fun with special effects and start looking around the corner for Mr Kutcher (the fact that I'm not yet a celeb probably won't cross my mind). I guess what would freak me out is the fact that scientific rules were suddenly changed...and not the fact that geometric shapes are falling out of the sky. Waitaminute...snow falls as waaaay more complex geometric shapes! Somebody up there must really be having fun.

Active Givers and Passive Takers

Marriage is a covenant and I believe that, more important than the certificate given by the court house, is the covenant between the couple. I believe this covenant is signified by the biological covenant marker that God created...SEX. I believe God is very particular about covenants to the extent that the virginal bleeding is a blood covenant of sorts, which I believe He takes very seriously. I believe God sees the sexual act as part of marriage so you can't really 'test the waters' without getting married. I also wouldn't be surprised if God saw some other not-so-committal things like living together as part of marriage but let's not belabor that right now. Sex is about giving and taking. I believe God's intent was for the giving to be active and the taking to be passive. Sex is a symbol that represents marriage, which is a symbol that represents the way God expects us to live our lives...without selfishness, taking utmost care of the other person's needs....

The Wisdom of Solomon

Wunmi: Hey! If you had to choose one, which would you pick…wisdom or innocence? Bale: What? Did you just say wisdom or in-house sex? Wunmi: No silly, I said Wisdom or Innocence. Bale: Of course one needs both, but if I had to choose I'd chose innocence. Wunmi: Any reasons? Bale: Well, I thought of Solomon and all his wisdom...he didn't have the best of endings did he? Wunmi: Hmm...Ok which would you choose...wisdom or in-house sex? Bale: Bro that's easy...I choose wisdom...again look at Solomon...his wisdom brought him enooooough in-house… On a more serious note, we have to respect Solomon's wisdom. The kind God said no one has ever had or ever will have. Solomon started by getting God's attention. I can image God going "Whoa! Gabriel did you see that? Outta my way! Outta my way!!..." and whoosh! He's in Solomon's room. "Impressive, boy! Ok What do you want? Just name it". He was ready to give Solomon whatever he wanted...a hundred trilli...

Revolution?

Start a love revolution in your household, let it spread to your work, and then your community...then you'll have the ears of the people...cos they can't ignore the successful environment(s) you've created. Either way before you start any revolution, make sure that you also are totally (I mean totally) without blame.

Logic and his alter ego

It takes a lot of a kind of intellectual energy to create a functional product. It takes a lot of another kind of intellectual energy to create a beautiful product. Now talk less of creating a product that is both functional and beautiful in design. It’s so easy to tell the absence of intelligence…by the absence of order. Science teaches us that disorder is a more natural state than order (via entropy). Meaning that situations, left by themselves, tend towards chaos. Yes it takes a conscious effort to produce order…talk less of functional order…then talk less of functional and beautiful order. Logic, as defined within the (narrow) limits of our cerebration can’t wholly exist without faith…especially when it comes to our origins. There really is a sweet blur between faith and logic. One always has to believe either that at some point nothing became something, or that a something just always was. Science tells us that matter is neither created nor destroyed so if nothing became something...
