On a serious note, I will add this man to my prayer list... 

Saturday, February 05, 2022 Brief philosophical bullets: tats & weight loss 

Stated:

• Philosophically, the difference between a tattoo or tattoos being a non-moral, non-ethical issue, and a tattoo or tattoos, marring, is a tricky one, admittedly. 

• The issue of aesthetics is often more subjective than objective reality.

• Perhaps, when a tattoo complements (tattoos complement) the natural work of the creator, it is morally and ethically acceptable. 

• Perhaps, when a tattoo, or tattoos takes away from the natural work of the creator, it can be considered a marring of the body.

I consider this marring...and not just 'tats' in this case.

I support individual, rights, freedoms and liberties, within law and order, in western democracy.

Better to pray than flee

 

My take on the video: 

Human nature is universally corrupt and fallen (Romans, especially), as is the resulting human consciousness, thoughts, desires, will, acts/actions (my theoretical, non-exhaustive chain). As one struggling with sin as a believer, or even embracing sin as a non-believer, it is better to pray to the Lord for guidance, forgiveness and change, than flee from God.

19 month saga winding down

Image: Facebook

When my Mom, whom I had homecared for almost twenty years, passed away, 19 months ago; I did not think it would take this long to finally be winding down this legal process. This complicated by the sad, unfortunate, surprise passing of my brother in November.

I signed emailed documents from my probate lawyer today and thankfully, with income, savings and inheritances, I am in good fiscal shape to pay a final tax, having already paid government and legal fees. This even with the rising condominium values.  I will not create new debt, and only have a very manageable mortgage with my property.

I am not going into debt like one good friend had to in regards to the estate of his parents.

Taken to the cleaners...

As my Grandma is Calgary told me (Mom's, Mom) shortly before her passing: 'Don't get old!' By God's grace I am youthful, but death is unavoidable as is judgment from a New Testament perspective:

Hebrews 9:27 

King James Version (KJV) 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

Life brings this fantastic quote to mind, once again.

'Wherever the Holy Spirit is, the Devil is not too far behind.'
