Doobie Brothers: Listen to the Music
My “blog of the week” (BOTW) for November 5 has become “blog of the week” for December 3. Time flies, eh, especially when you’re sidetracked with dealing with Medicare enrollment, etc. Also, I wanted to just tell you that I added a video to my Vietnam blog, but, I’ll go ahead and introduce this BOTW series, which, ironically for a procrastinator like me, is supposed to take away my excuses for blogging as I do my short and pithy (or pissy) blogs more often than every month or less as I’ve been doing.
By the way, I was inspired by writer friends and others who do daily or weekly blogs. Also, please know that I’m amping up my blog frequency partly because I like writing and partly because I feel it’s important to inform folks about mainstream issues in a different light and, of course, provide an alternative to mainstream media. I don’t have a long list of specific topics for my BOTW, just whatever floats my boat for that week. Just wait and see, you might find it very interesting.
For example, did you know that Pat Sajak wrote for Imprimis? Check it out. In the July/August 2017 issue, A Time to Scatter Stones and a Time to Gather Stones is Sajak’s piece on page 5. You should sign up if you haven’t already done so, it’s free you know and always well-worth reading. Sajak, in case you’re not a “Wheel of Fortune” fan, is the host of the show. I was surprised and totally impressed when I read his piece. The piece about Frederick Douglass is also very intriguing.
I hope you realize – pardon my preaching about this in my blog – it’s essential that we all untether our thinking about information. By that I mean, be critical and discerning about what you read, hear, and accept as the “truth.” As John said in his Gospel (John 8:32), “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
