Wednesday Snowy Bullets

I have to admit that this
reminds me of my current friendly neigbour
and friend, back in the 1990's.

• I ordered a book via eBay from Denver, Colorado in the second week of November which was supposed to arrive here in British Columbia, just before Christmas.

• As it has not arrived as of yet, I began emailing the seller in 2020. I, attempted to be understanding with the busy Christmas mail season in the United States and Canada. Finally on the fourth email to them, I received a reply today.

• The seller provided me with a full refund as they do not have another copy of the book to send to me as replacement.

• I gave the seller a good eBay review, as they did me.

• On the bright side, if the book still arrives, it is free. (Pray on the bright side)

• Recent religion conversation with someone made more brave with alcohol: (Paraphrased discussion)

• Z: Then there is the Old Testament sacrificial system with the perfect lamb. (We had just finished lamb for dinner)

• V: The Old Testament sacrificial system and anything like that is ********. Your views are ********. We all just have to be good people.

• Dr. Russ: I think it is a bad sign that all in humanity suffer and die and that God rarely communicates directly to his creation (There exists an everyday fracture between humanity and God). We cannot get religion right, just through speculation.

• V: Exactly, we all die, so who cares. We should just be good people.

• Dr. Russ: If it is divinely (and historically) revealed that sin separates us from God, it is of extreme importance.

• V: Whatever!

• Dr. Russ: It is not whatever! You hold to work's righteousness, it does not work. As can be deduced (in part) by our present human situation with suffering and death.

Later

• V: I should start my own religion.

•  Dr. Russ: Fueled by your drink...

•  V: Laughs.

•  Dr. Russ: Laughs.

Tonight: I noticed the happy accident 'alien abduction' image.
