Last updated on: April 14, 2020 at 8:16 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

When the days of the week blur together and feel like a vacation that’s gone on too long, remember that there is no such thing as time. The earth will travel around the sun 365 rotations before it returns to where it is, right now. And the means of measuring it are an exclusively human construction. Dogs and cats don’t care about days of the week. Birds don’t care what time it is. They share their songs at all hours... Read more

It’s been said that all of humanity holds the hammer that drives the nails into Jesus. To this day, when we violate the teachings... Read more
