http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Diary of a Crazed Caucasian Caregiver. OK, faithful blogfollowers, remember the underwear incident? For those of you who weren't here then or just need a refresher, click here. Well, everything comes back around. Dear, sweet Tom is at it again. Our Fear Factor Challenge this week? It's not so bad - only two out of the eight blankets he has on his bed are practically rotting where they lay. This morning, I ...

messy spectacles: October 2005
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Friday, October 21, 2005. I am officially convinced that Wednesdays are Mental Illness Night at OfficeMax. Last week, I went in to pick up these funky disposable fountain pens that Dr. Jones turned me on to (there's just something about that tactile scratchy non-ballpoint feeling, you know? So last night, I went to pick up a notebook (what happened to narrow ruled, people? You DO NOT HAVE these! Yeah, we do! They can't do that! Why is...

messy spectacles: The Shape of Things
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2006/06/shape-of-things.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Sunday, June 25, 2006. The Shape of Things. Okay, so I've been quiet for a while. Here's what's happening. As far as blogging is concerned, it's been a mixed bag. I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "I could SO blog about this," but it hasn't felt right. Not that I don't want to share, because there have been any number of sacred moments, but because I was/am afraid of turning this blog into a cancer diary. Bleh. You know wh...

messy spectacles: Yuletide Musings
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2006/12/yuletide-musings.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Monday, December 25, 2006. I came home a bit early to avoid the holiday rush and sat down to a typical night of channel-surfing, when what to my wondering eyes did appear but a listing in the on-screen guide for "Yule Log." So now I'm sitting here, blogging, basking in the light of a six-hour showing of a fireplace, captured in full high-definition glory. Call me crazy, but it's warm. homey. lovely.

messy spectacles: Sabbath Gleanings
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2006/05/sabbath-gleanings.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Saturday, May 06, 2006. Last night, as I was watching the weather forecast, I decided today would be a School-Sabbath. I would not so much as practice the presence of papers, finals, essay revisions. I would take care of the other neglected elements of my life and just be. Until the sun sets. He'll eventually find a tree or figure a way to go down the telephone pole. Now I want to be like Daisy, waiting patiently in spite of things th...

messy spectacles: The Karma of Care: Strange Places
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2006/06/karma-of-care-strange-places.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Sunday, June 25, 2006. The Karma of Care: Strange Places. Lately, I've been feeling like a human Care Engine. My June flew by with days spent attending to dad and nights at work. Dad is, to borrow an adjective from an unfortunate context, a "flaming" extrovert. Asking him to sit alone at mom's condo all day is akin to asking George W. Bush to pull off a convincing Hamlet. It's just not in his nature. G'night, Jeffy" he whispers. Tears...

messy spectacles: March 2005
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Thursday, March 31, 2005. When Songs Break Out of the Box. Jesus loves me, this I know for the Bible tells me so.". The song is buried so far down in the layers of my personal history that it's a fixture - part of the sonic furniture of my soul. But as I look at those words. "for the Bible tells me so." Is that enough? Is the Bible in and of itself enough to persuade my entire being of Jesus' love for me? I added another one today.

messy spectacles: February 2005
http://jeffmacsimus.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Musings and meditations about God, Knowledge, Life, the Universe, etc. Thursday, February 24, 2005. OK, So I'm cleaning my room this morning, letting the studying I did for my lit test last night gel in my brain, and I catch myself reading over old class assignments. I'm sitting here, reading over old pages, looking for comments like "excellent! And "good insights" as if to say "LOVE ME! Or at least "YOU LIKE ME, YOU REALLY REALLY LIKE ME! Why am I such a spiritual lemming? To that, my soul says "YES!

Oh, he was sleeping, and then he got sick, and then he died.". What do you say to that? Yuh I went to his funeral.". Yuh I put my hand on his coffin. Like this." Jared reaches out and pats the hood of my car gently, then lets his hand rest. I care about him. He's my friend," Jared says solemnly, staring through the blue steel. Hey long time, ...
