Israel: no one under the age of 50 died of COVID-19 …

  1. A tsunami of class action lawsuits will hit every major hospital system.
  2. Once discovery begins, a LOT of interesting stuff will come out.
  3. Unless there is an act of congress, many of these systems will go bankrupt and shut down, many hospitals will have to reduce services.
  4. The bulk of these will hit in 2024 …

(ask me why I think “2024” will be different than advertised)

Greetings and updates.

Reading 1: Jeremiah 33, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2033&version=NIV

Reading 2: Proverbs 28:9, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+28%3A9&version=NIV

Reading 3: Matthew 7: 7-12, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A+7-12&version=NIV

Prayer:

Lord in Heaven,

In our daily lives we often forget that You are always here, always near.

It is hard for us, often, to escape the ritual, the Sunday Mass and Worship,

the various commitments we have to the churches we attend,

and in our actions these forms of remembrance become empty and disconnected.

But did you not Jesus, in the garden, humble yourself to pray?

Did you not, Dear Lord, on the Cross, pray for the forgiveness of those who “do not know what they do”?

If Jesus could humble himself to pray, with heart and vigor and passion, and He is the Son of God, then can we not humble ourselves to pray, with passion, to our Lord in Heaven, asking for his help on our part and for those sinners who need Him now?

Jesus,

We pray to you this day for the wisdom to know the words,

We pray for the compassion to send our love, to you Christ, on the part of those we love.

We remember the stranger, the orphan, the widow – and we remember them in prayer.

We pray for guidance and grace, so that we can forgive others, as we ourselves are forgiven.

In Your Name we serve,

AMEN

Reading 4: Mark 11: 22-26, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A+22-26&version=NIV

Discussion:

  1. Jesus in the garden, Jesus before he died on the cross.
  2. kind of angry at my neighbors over the dog situation.
  3. kind of angry at parents who blame everything for their kid’s situation except for themselves.
  4. But the anger? – is bad.
  5. So I pray for peace, for grace, for my ability to forgive.
  6. Prayer is critical when times are hard, prayer is essential for grace and thanksgiving.
  7. How do you pray?

Moment of silence: Prayer – for those in our lives who need the help and need to begin.

Have a great week!

The old school house, in the film “Over the Edge” …

There’s an old school house in the parking lot, almost as if it’s on display, a monument, to a time now forgotten. Next to this is the “New Granada Jr High”, flashy and modern and plastic and aluminum.

With the old school house – there’s more “outside” than “inside”. You get the sense that it’s a limited space, but still a space of control – without any pretense.

The new school has it all. Food, fun, sports, drugs. The new school is a place you can dump your kid for the day.

The old school house had a way out for every room.

The new school house has a way in for every kid, and no way out.

Probably not …

“If you hold a stick of dynamite in your hand, and light the fuse? – God’s probably NOT going to stop it. He might make popcorn.” – Dr. Freckles

We are not the same …

“YOU want to live in a prison, with other prisoners, and shove dildos up your butt cracks all day, I want to live in a free country. We are not the same.” – Dr. Freckles

Over the edge … (1979)

  1. suburban wasteland
  2. misguided youth
  3. existential darkness
  4. suburban brutalism
  5. vandalism
  6. suburbia as grooming for pedophiles
  7. suburbia as family made into a commodity
  8. abstraction of living destroys life
  9. managed society
  10. rebellion / obedience narrative in the context of 2020
  11. the scene when the girl shoots the boy by accident – no deep angst, no political energy, just “no biggee” and kids move on …
