Google Plus Welcomes Minors, Still Has Issues to Resolve

Google Plus

At the end of January, Google's social network Google Plus quietly opened the doors to minors ages 13 and over. This is something that anyone managing a Google+ Page already suspected, based on the choices when creating the page to make it 18 and over. What users didn't expect was that Google+ would open its gates so soon, with so many issues still left to address.  Read more >

The Hill Country

     Holy moly.  It's been awhile.  Here I am actually ready to write in earnest, & as it turns out, at least 200+people were reading the rot I had to write as coursework.  I guess that's a good sign.  Now residing in the Texas hill country.  Long story short, about 100 years ago (ok 20) whilst indulging my post-high school travel lust, I wound up in Big Bend NP, met a boy, found him again on Facebook in November of 2010, & here I am.  Now here's a link to a song I can't believe I can only post here, in the dead of night, 'cause even  Read more >

Little Things

Acts 18:1-8  People talk about how many people they help, how much money they raise. I spent yesterday with one person--a waste of time--no, it was with Jesus I spent the day:"Miss no single opportunity ofmaking some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindlyword; always doing the smallest thing right and doing it all for love.. . Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that youdo with love." - St. Therese of Lisieux -  Read more >

Peace

Jn. 14:17-31  Peace starts out from within. Unless you have a right relationship with God there is no peace, and I see this all the time--in my own life, in the lives of the guys on the street, and when we do not have peace--we create disturbances around us.  Our first need is to create peace within ourselves--and then peace will come in our lives, that is the way it works for me.  Read more >

Loving

I John 3:18-24:  "Little children, let's not love with words or speech but with action and truth.  This is how we will know we belong to the truth and reassue our hearts of God's presence. . ."  Read more >

Seeing God

John  14:7-14  "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father".  God is not visible in the way that a material object is visible:  but in a mysterious way we are given sight of God--I see God in the face of 24 year old illegal, trying to make it here in the City; I saw God's face last night in the transgender girls I was giving condomns and food to, their sweetness,, their charm--for me I see God's face in the people I feed, touch, care for each day. Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!  Read more >

"A Place for You"

John 14:1-6  . .I'm going to prepare a place for you." The "place" of spirituality is always here, this place, just as the time is always now.  Spiritual development is less like making a journey than waking up from a dream.  We fed 60 or so people last night, I spent time with six people struggling with one problem or another yesterday afternoon. Each suffering, each struggling--my "place"  is now, and this is where I find Jesus in each moment. Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!  Read more >

Orlando vs. Orlando: Divorcing the Literature from the Film

One of the final assignments for my Critical Theory Literature class was a compare and contrast of Orlando the Virginia Woolf story and Orlando the movie based on it. Six hundred to one thousand words about how they stack up to one another. Easy peasy, eh?Hmm.  Read more >
