We have deep respect for the author of Job. This guy, some 2500 years ago, understood those things we understand, and wrote a book about it. He did, indeed, tell it like it is.

Women’s Rights
Why are we even talking about this subject? What is wrong with us? Women are marvelous creatures. They are loving, hard working, nurturing, social people who are the glue of any society. The men go off to work or to war, playing their stupid power games and war games, flexing their muscles and showing their… Continue Reading
Awe and Mystery
There are these touching moments in life. Sometimes, they are more than touching; they are overwhelming. They change our whole perception of life. We think differently and behave differently after one of these moments.

Pursuit of Happiness
It’s almost July the fourth.

Church Values
If anyone says the word “church,” the first concept that comes into our heads is that this is a group of people who are pious, respectful, humble, moral, hard-working, and stellar members of their communities. We get the idea that they all meet together at one place to hone their humility and morality. They are… Continue Reading
Evolution
“I can’t keep up; everything is moving too fast.” “Just as soon as I learn the answers, they change the questions.” “Man, hasn’t he aged; did you see that face?” “No, that can’t be; that’s not the way I remember it!” “I turned my back and then she was gone.” “Don’t blink; you’ll miss it.”… Continue Reading
