First entry

Since for everything, there has to be a first, then this will represent the first Dry Thought to be placed here. Then again, depending on how violent people react, it could be the last Dry thought as well! I don't claim to have skin 6 feet thick.

So the first thought will have a little background of where I write from, I guess. I consider myself as being religious and believing in the teachings of Christ. I do not claim to be a Christian, however, as I don't accept the godhood of Christ, nor do I pray to the Creator through any other means other then prayers TO the Creator. Also, unlike most apparent Christians, I don't accept war as a means to an end. You can not find peace at the barrel end of a gun. Peace comes from sharing love and forgiveness, not from sharing bombs and bullets. There is much in the Bible that I accept, but I don't accept a lot of the interpretations of it, much like I don't necessarily accept current popular interpretations of Nostradamus' quatrains either. Not that I am equating the two books, but if you think I am, that's your problem, not mine. God gave me a very wide span of interests, and as such, I tend to let my thoughts roam, and before you ask, no, not all thoughts are dry. I some times come up with thoughts when I am wetting my whistle, and some times, those are quite profound!

I live in the United States, love what the country stood for in my childhood, and have come to fear what it stands for now in my later years. I see a lot of replication of history here, and I can't understand why others don't. Then again, I don't watch TV and refuse to own a cell phone, think that the proliferation of high frequency, high powered electro-magnetic wave transmissions lie at the heart of cancer and try to limit my adding to that problem by not using such things as wireless services. I also believe "global warming" is a natural result of the fact that the Sun is hotter now then it was in years past, and not because more people are breathing or because more cows are farting. I tend to believe that "you are what you eat," and as such notice that most ambulatory creations on Earth are made of meat and tend to eat the stuff that doesn't move around much.

I have been around long enough to have formed an opinion on nearly everything and will, from time to time, share some of those opinions with you. I rely on what knowledge I have acquired through my life and God's gift of intuition to try to separate what's real from what is fantasy, and I came to the conclusion that "reality TV" fits the second part, not the first part, in spite of it's name. And I have also wondered, as I watch the way people function - or is that dysfunction? - through life, if perhaps they see this reversed. I could run on for hours, wear my fingerprints completely off - and possibly get busted for doing so (lost identity) - typing, but I will draw this to a close. I am a "truther," a believer in The Constitution, and am old enough to remember when "under God" wasn't in the Pledge of Allegiance, and recently started to wonder why we have ever required anyone to stand up and say the Pledge in the first place. After all, in theory, this is a free country filled with free people, and as such no such pledge should be required. That dry thought probably started a brush fire.

Until the next entry, then follow the Vulcan's salutation, and love and light in your path.
