Floral Backlog
My apologies for yesterday’s disconnection. I slept for like 24 hours straight, except for about 20 minutes where I went to the Chinese bakery for a fish bahn, 2 chicken bahn, and 2 jelly rolls. On Easter Sunday, I had intended Todaisy shortly after church. Instead, I got distracted shepherding wayward shopping carts, texting observational…

Cruisin’ USA
ThE VoIcEs/my demons occasionally tell me you can’t have/don’t want any more children. That’s not why I’m doing this. I want to know you’re going to be okay for eternity, and the only way to do that is for you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior. I’m not joking, I’m not…

Feliz Pascuas from the Plug
Moving forward, in my endless effort to love & adore my Heavenly Father and align myself with His people, I have decided to discontinue all shitposting (romantic & otherwise) from sunset on Fridays until sunset on Saturdays. Regular Todaisys* will resume after church on Sunday. (I dunno if you still get my texts at your…

Don’t Be a Prick
(Even if my mother diddled mine/yours.) Compunction – a new word I learned in church today: a feeling of guilt or moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing of something bad. Middle English: from Old French componction, from ecclesiastical Latin compunctio(n- ), from Latin compungere ‘prick sharply’, from com- (expressing intensive force) + pungere ‘to prick’.

Lamentations 3:31-36
“For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone. To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land, to deny people their rights before the Most High, to deprive them…

Tithing
Yesterday, an insurance check for $25,000 arrived in the mail. This was a settlement for the accident that happened on Saturday, November 16, 2024. (The one where G-d brought me back from the dead.) I’ve promised G-d that I will tithe 15% of my income, moving forward. I calculated this to be $3,800. ($550 to…

כל הנשמה
“The Whole Soul” / “All the Soul” (“nephesh” is Hebrew for “soul.”) I’ve been drawn to contemporary Jewish pop music lately. It’s catchy, lotsa horns. The uptempo bangers are a cross between EDM and Big Band. I have NO clue about the lyrics, but I figure they’re not gonna blaspheme. Those folks have a healthy…

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
…together with the Parable of the Talents, is celebrated today, Holy Tuesday. As I’ve said before, I need to be certain that you, anonymous reader, are prepared for what lies ahead. Not everyone will receive a firm – but irrefutable – wake up call from G-d in the form of surviving an uncushioned, 30mph blow…

Ecclesiastes 3
The other day, I referenced Verse 22, as it relates to knowledge of the future. (Which only G-d can know.) While I was thinking about what to discuss with Todaisy, my mind was drawn to the lyrics for “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by the Byrds. Probably heard that song 100 times on KONO-FM when I was…

Proverbs 4:23-27
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do…
