Note: I’m continuing to post selected articles from The Lost Gazette Chronicles, focusing on those that fall into the “Faith” category (why? because I need the reminders). This one originally showed up in January, 2007. O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you… Continue reading God’s Bubble
Random Thursday: Spreading jam on the toast of life
Sorry; I don’t know what the post title means either. Howdy, buckaroos, and happy Thursday to you. Today is, of course, International Bow Day, so feel free to take a bow, look for a [rain]bow, grab a bow (arrows are optional), and hye thyself to the nearest boat bow. Oh, and today is also when… Continue reading Random Thursday: Spreading jam on the toast of life
Beer By The Bay 2021: A Strange Trip
This post is dedicated to mi amigo bueno who, along with his lovely bride, was scheduled to attend this event with Debbie and me. Unfortunately, they both came down with COVID a couple of weeks earlier and thus had to bow out (they’re recovering nicely now; thanks for asking). I promised him a report, and… Continue reading Beer By The Bay 2021: A Strange Trip
Professional Thanksgiver: Could you do it?
Note: I’m continuing to post selected articles from The Lost Gazette Chronicles, focusing on those that fall into the “Faith” category (why? because I need the reminders). This one originally showed up in July, 2006. I read the last two chapters of the Old Testament book of Nehemiah this morning, as a part of my… Continue reading Professional Thanksgiver: Could you do it?
Random Thursday: A mile wide and two inches deep
Happy Thursday, y’all…and I must say, you’re looking simply marvelous! Today is, of course, National Vinyl Record Day, and I’m defying all expectations by posting the following picture: This is the label from a promotional LP featuring Wolfman Jack on behalf of the United States Air Force. For the back story about this series of… Continue reading Random Thursday: A mile wide and two inches deep
Jesus: Teletransporter?
Note: I originally posted this in June, 2006. I’ve previously alluded to a redesign/reboot of the Gazette in which some content didn’t get carried over into the new package; this is an example, with a few minor tweaks. Those of us who believe in God understand that since He created time and space, He’s not… Continue reading Jesus: Teletransporter?
Random Thursday
¡Feliz jueves, amigos! Today is National IPA Day, National Work Like A Dog Day, and National Underwear Day, which means you have an excuse to drink a beer for breakfast and then go chase a frisbee in your underwear. [What a frisbee is doing in your underwear, I don’t really want to know.] It’s also… Continue reading Random Thursday
Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 7)
Howdy, y’all! Today is National Intern Day and also National Chili Dog and National Chicken Wing Day, so we’ve sent the Gazette’s army of interns out for a junk food scavenger hunt. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is National Antacid Day. Boy, there’s a lot going on nowadays in the Wonderful World of Nature, so let’s… Continue reading Neighborhood Nature (Pt. 7)
The Miracle of Metamorphosis: Black Swallowtail Butterflies in the Making
Debbie and I have been monitoring the life cycle of black swallowtail butterflies, and it’s a pretty fascinating process. But, first… I started writing this accompanied by the dulcet tones of a just-now-repaired clothes dryer, and it’s a good feeling to know that we won’t need to employ the makeshift fan-in-garage approach (which, I will… Continue reading The Miracle of Metamorphosis: Black Swallowtail Butterflies in the Making
Random Thursday: Drones, Death, and Drama
Howdy, buckaroos! Today is National Chocolate With Almonds Day, and I can’t think of too many more magnificent combinations (although those chocolate-filled chocolate marshmallows come close, because too much chocolate is never enough). Today we’re stumbling through a variety of topics, so let’s not dawdle. I had a birthday recently and scored this sweet drone:… Continue reading Random Thursday: Drones, Death, and Drama
