Window on JT's World: June 2012
http://jte39madjeffin.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Window on JT's World. Thursday, June 28, 2012. From a Sermon by Paul Tillich (1886-1965). You are accepted, accepted by that which is greater than you, and the name of which you do not know. Do not ask for the name now; perhaps you will find it later. Do not try to do anything now: perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for anything; do not perform anything; do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted! If that happens to us, we experience grace. Links to this post.

Window on JT's World: My Shovelful for 1/12/12
http://jte39madjeffin.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-shovelful-for-11212.html
Window on JT's World. Thursday, January 12, 2012. My Shovelful for 1/12/12. It's Thursday afternoon. Fine snowflakes are coming down, blown fiercely by the wind. TV weather boys predict a blanket of snow tonight and early tomorrow. Good day to stay in and write. To ASSUME is to make an ASS out of U and ME. I think the one who suffers most from asshood, however, when I assume things I don't know, is ME. Ergo, the writer is an ass. The writer, with commendable candor, states that he despises. By Stephen Ki...

Window on JT's World. Wednesday, September 09, 2009. Obama’s Health Care Speech to Congress 09/09/09. Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, and the American people:. When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system was on the verge of collapse. There are those on the left who believe that the only way to fix the system is through ...

Window on JT's World. Saturday, August 13, 2011. Governor Goodhair Is In! I lifted this from the current Sacramento Bee:.

Of all the crass pandering, of all the gross political kowtowing to ignorance, we haven't seen anything this rank from Gov. Goodhair since … gee, last fall. The funding of the whole school system is so unfair that it ha...

Window on JT's World: On "Asshood"
http://jte39madjeffin.blogspot.com/2012/01/on-asshood.html
Window on JT's World. Saturday, January 14, 2012. In my most recent post I said a certain writer by virtue of his bigotry and ignorance evinced asshood. Asshood" is a coinage by Lloyd C. Douglas, who used it in Magnificent Obsession,. I think as a word in the mouth of "Bobby Merrick,"* the antihero of that novel, who uses it to describe a drunken binge he regretted. I've had my share of episodes of asshood in my own life. But that's another story. And then for the first time Magnificent Obsession. Was th...

Window on JT's World. Wednesday, February 02, 2011. Wednesday Night Live, from Cairo. As I write I am watching NBC Foreign Correspondent Richard Engle - who obviously is exhausted and who I am nominating for a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, if he hasn't already won one, as Richard describes the revolution that is occurring in the capital of Egypt right now. Remember that Egypt is the "cradle of civilization.". Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wednesday Night Live, from Cairo.

Window on JT's World. Thursday, June 03, 2010. Jim Wallis on the Gulf Catastrophe. Theologically, we are witnessing a massive despoiling of God’s creation. We were meant to be stewards of the Gulf of Mexico, the wetlands that protect and spawn life, the islands and beaches, and all of God’s creatures who inhabit the marine world. But instead, we are watching the destruction of all that. Why? The first step forward is building awareness. Would you forward this SojoMail to 20 of your friends?
