Ron's Whirled View: August 2007
http://ronswhirledview.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Monday, 27 August 2007. I haven't done much kite flying lately. I have only flown kites a few times in the past five years or so. Much of that is because my "good" kite needs repairs. And buying kite parts seems a bit frivolous when other bills need to be paid. There are probably a few different symbolisms. If so, what direction? And how steadily is it blowing? Most of ...

Ron's Whirled View: June 2012

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Saturday, 23 June 2012. Day 8 - Virginia City, Nevada. After the balloons were mostly done in Reno, I headed over to Virginia City. The town has retained much of its Old West flavor. I guess some people died shortly after large gambling losses. Perhaps I can afford this one. For me, it is fun to find splashes of color and growth in a dry, difficult environment. I had re...

Ron's Whirled View: November 2007

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Monday, 26 November 2007. The Freedom in Confession. It has been interesting reading the blog of a sister these past months. Writing things out is therapeutic in some ways. And, perhaps more importantly, there is a sense of healing and freedom in being honest about our true thoughts and feelings. The books and web site are definitely not from a Christian perspective....

Ron's Whirled View: April 2008

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Monday, 7 April 2008. I should have been sleeping. But the temptation of Chocolat on TV was too strong. So I had to watch some of it. Way back in 2000, I enjoyed the film Chocolat in the theatres. The film has plenty of poor examples with poor morals and even hints of witchcraft. But there are some highlights. The "River Rats" among us go by different names. But as ...

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Monday, 13 September 2010. Early Football Season Potential and Tension. We hear about the potential. But there have been many years with potential. And when the potential did not become reality, we were disappointed. There is a tension inside. Dare we hope for success this year? I come home. I fix something to eat. I might catch up on some news, mail, and person...Somet...

Ron's Whirled View: October 2008
http://ronswhirledview.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Sunday, 19 October 2008. Most people, well truthfully, probably everybody. Has recommended I react with whatever (legal) means necessary to stop that injustice. But I have chosen a different path this time, which I will explain later. What follows is part of my painful journey to mercy. Injustice in Our World. It is wise to examine a situation. Perceived injustice m...

Ron's Whirled View: December 2007
http://ronswhirledview.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Sunday, 9 December 2007. Advent or Ad Vent? Luxury, expensive rocks, and other possessions "everybody" else has, or at least desires. But I certainly understand the temptations. I, too, have purchased things I rarely use. I have purchased things I probably couldn't afford. And I am all for giving and receiving gifts. There is joy in both. But what about Advent? My Iowa ...

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Sunday, 10 April 2011. Western Churches are Getting "Fixed". It appears western churches over 40 years old, and many much younger, are getting "fixed". Obviously, the official church literature will not say that. But the church budget might. Of the hundreds of churches in your region, how many churches over age 20 do you know that have young daughter churches? Like near...

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Monday, 23 July 2012. Day 11 - Redding to Sacramento, California. For Tuesday, September 13. I learned of an interesting foot bridge in Redding. So I went to check that out. The Sundial Bridge over the Sacramento River is pretty cool. There are markers on the lawn that match the time of day (in season). Sundial shadow across the lawn. I got to see quite a few orchards o...

Welcome to my whirled view! Sometimes it is a little twisted, sometimes stirring. I will try to bring some fresh ideas and perspectives. Sunday, 24 February 2013. Day 12 - Point Reyes National Seashore. For Wednesday, September 14. I woke up in Folsom, California actually having a schedule for the first hours of the day. After I got mostly packed up, turkeys came to visit looking for any leftovers. I left the turkeys and headed for car repairs. Point Reyes is a peninsula along the famous San Andreas Faul...
