There are not enough useful tech blogs out there for the low tech mom and dad or the average, tech-minded netizen – not by citizen journalists. Carolyn’s Wonder of Tech blog is a rare jewel. And I’ve been following it for years and years. I also think she rocks and I’m not afraid to say it.
Yearning to be ordinary

There is that wonderful and very likely possibility that you have extraordinary challenges because you have been given extraordinary gifts.

This week and other Social Media DOHs
Good news: HBO’s TV Series, The Leftovers, has been renewed. The Season Finale, The Prodigal Son Returns, opens with a dead Patti. The leader of Mapleton’s controversial cult, the Guilty Remnant, had committed suicide in the previous episode. Chrsitine abandons her “messianic” baby.So many questions remain unanswered. Just as our questions are too often inadequately answered. Or not answered at all. We bravely go forward. Deeper. Into the dark night. Most of us. But in the face of our collaborative delusions, self-deceits and false consciousness, if they should fall down like the walls of Jericho did at the trumpet blasts, we will tremble.
Christopher Eccleston is amazing as the uncanny Episcopal priest. He helps Police Chief Kevin Garvey bury Patti. Hopefully, Eccleston will be allowed to shine brighter next season. He could carry the show, don’t you know. And I’m not just saying that as a Doctor Who fan.
Kevin doesn’t believe in God, but Matt encourages him to read from the Bible for his own sake. As Patti’s corpse lay still, Kevin reads a passage from the Book of Job. In this passage, Job is speaking of God. Job’s children are dead, his wealth is lost, and his friends mock him.

When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
…
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
…
My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
…
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
…
But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases.
…
He carries out his decree against me, and many such plans he still has in store.
…
That is why I am terrified before him; when I think of all this, I fear him.
…
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
…
Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.

Job 23: 8-17 NIV

If the Islamic State (IS) is dreaming of biological weapons of mass destruction, a military solution with American troops on the ground is not an effective solution. Are we ready as a nation to commit to a 20 year occupation?

Franklin Graham, son of the Christian evangelical minister, Billy Graham, of Samaritan’s Purse wonders whether or not news coming out of the Middle East is a sign of the end times, but the mainstream media is ignoring Franklin for better or worse. Meanwhile, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, warned that we are close to a “point of no return” in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In recent cease fire negotiations, Hamas made stupid and childish demands that Israel provide it (fund and build) an airport and sea port in Gaza.

Thanks for the shoutout, Stan, and for your wonderful comment at The Wonder of Tech. I’m glad you enjoyed the article and were pleasantly surprised at the impact you’re having on Twitter!
I will have to check out The Survivor Journals. That combines two of my favorite things: zombie stories and podcasts. Brilliant.
And, speaking of brilliant, I will be checking out John Magnet Bell’s and Nisha’s articles as well!
