We've started discussing the sermon at the Sunday night Bible group and it's a good thing that the leaders come prepared with a set of questions drawn up by the pastor's wife because with a brain like mine there is no telling what kind of mischief can happen if you allow people to come up with...

Today Pastor finally got around to preaching on Chapter 3 of Esther in which Haman plots genocide against the Jews because Mordecai wouldn't bow down to him. And yes, he did bring up, in passing, the incident where King Saul was ordered by the prophet Samuel (presumably speaking for God) to...

Random / Silly
I've tried blogging before but I'm rubbish at it, I never know what to write so tend to make a few entries and then give up. This will be a good place to let out all my frustrations, rants, silly little things I find funny that nobody else probably will etc and random stuff that's not worth...
Disclaimer; If you cannot deal with people expressing so-called "first world problems", even if they are related to being on the spectrum, please move on and enjoy your burger, thank you! As some of you know, I paint... miniatures, toy soldiers, models, name it something. It's one my hobbies...

People wait at the coach stop on the other side of the road. More and more people soon turn up, brought to their pick up point by various taxis and mini cabs. Before long there are 50 people at the coach stop, some as old as 250 years. Soon, a coach turn's up, operated by Swallower...
With my current financial situation going on, it go me wondering a bit about "entitlement". And yes, it might get a bit absurd and with a large stretch alltogether. So with that in mind... Do you feel you're entitled to whatever you have going on right now? Is it your right? And why is it...

Once again the topic of today's sermon was prayer. (Apparently we are taking a break from Esther.) Pastor sat on the sidelines while one of the elders preached. He started out by talking about most people's experience with prayer and healing and miracles and stuff, acknowledging that for...
It's a question I've been asking myself the past few days. It's also a question I've been asking a few of my friends. I feel a lot of people don't really care for a lot of talents, except what they're being educated/trained for. They get educated, get a degree, land a job and that's that...
Since I have now officially become old enough to hang around with the local senior citizens' group, I've started going to some of their functions. The other night I went to a dinner dance that they sponsored in memory of the Titanic 100th anniversary. We were all given the name of a passenger...

Another well-intentioned attempt to "heal" my wounded soul and raise my self-esteem, this time in the form of a book called "Captivating, Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul" by John and Staci Eldridge. It's not quite as nauseating as the other book I was given, but it is so full of...
I'd like to put up a disclaimer up front. The following might be a bit trigger-inducing for the ones prone to it. Still, I'll put some stuff up in spoilers, but at least, be warned. As a kid, when I was about 8 years old, my parents decided to put me in an after school daycare thing ran by...

Recently the pastor's wife gave me a booklet to read by a single Christian woman about my age and wanted my opinion on it as a single person. She said since she was married she couldn't tell if it was relevant or not. Well, I read it. And O Dear God, what can I tell her? How can I tell her...

Well, I finally got to tell my story in Small Group Bible Study. I told it all, about my sadistic third grade teacher, the teasing and taunts, the meltdowns, being put in Special Education and drugged until I almost wound up in the State hospital, being sexually molested on my first date...

What if I were to tell you that I was really different, What if I were to tell you that I born to be set apart from this world, What if I were to tell you that I was once broken into a thousand pieces, Would you have believed that all these things about me? What if I were to tell you that...

This Sunday promises to be an interesting sermon. We are now wading into some pretty troublesome waters with the Book of Esther. Yes, I know it is Palm Sunday but this church doesn't go for celebrating holidays much for some reason. It sure is a strange way to do church, that's for sure...

This week I learned that a colleague had been fired. I hadn't seen him in a while because after the "reorganization" we were split up into different departments and he was in another part of the building. One of his friends told me at breakfast. I was shocked. "Stu" had been with the...

This Sunday's sermon was not an easy one for Pastor to preach on because it concerned the infamous beauty contest in Esther 2 or as he called it, "The Bachelor, Persian Style." If you recall, King Ahaserus of Persia had just given his wife Queen Vashti the boot because she refused to come...

Hi I would like to know how do I handle college with Asperger's?
Yesterday I wrote about the movie "Sunset Limited." Today I'd like to write about another movie that deals with life and death but from a different perspective. In "The Green Mile" John Coffey is facing execution for a crime he did not commit. He is resigned to the fact that he is going to...
