Judgment Day Amos 1:1 to 9:11 1:1 These are some words blurted out one day by Amos. That’s Mr. Amos to you. The Lord says he has three or four damn good reasons for sending a nasty horrible fire to burn up all of the nations in the whole damned mid-east region, including Israel and […]

Bugs and Worms
Valley of Jehoshaphat Joel 1:1 to 3:2 1:1 OK, here it is, the word of the Lord that just happened to come to Joel one day. It just popped into his head. And the word is that the crops not eaten by worms are eaten by locusts and the crops not eaten by locusts are […]

Like Your Mom
Reaping the Whirlwind Hosea 1:2 to 8:7 1:2 The Lord ordered Hosea to marry a prostitute because the Jews were doing whorish things. It seemed like a reasonable demand. So Hosea married a hooker named Gomer and she had children who were given long terrible names by God himself. 2:2 Go tell your mother she […]

Don’t Eat Me Bro
The Lion’s Den Daniel 4:4 to 12:13 4:4 King Neb dreamed again and this time he remembered what it was about. It was a tree. The tree was a giant beautiful tree that everyone loved. All the people and animals lived together in and under and around the tree. But then a scary messenger appeared […]

But it’s a Dry Heat
The Fiery Furnace Daniel 1:1 to 3:30 1:1 The Lord allowed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to conquer Judah and take the Jewish people captive.

When Chalking Became a Verb
Chalking: the use of chalk to express celebratory or ideological ideas on the bricks, cement, and other surfaces in a public area. I was there when and where the trend and use of the term “chalking” started on the Western Washington University campus. The story might amuse you, so here it goes. The concept of […]

Dem Dry Bones
The Valley of Dry Bones Ezekiel 18:1 to 48:35 18:1 Repent for your sins and God will have mercy. It’s not your father’s fault you’re being punished. God judges you individually. Sin, sin, sin, tsk tsk tsk, your sins have been many. The people of Tyre are a bunch of sinners and the Babylonians will […]

No Cake for Me Thanks
The Son of Man Ezekiel 1:1 to 17:24 1:1 One day when I was with the captive Jews of Babylon, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God himself. I saw a huge stormy thingy with flashing lights and some weird multi-winged, multi-headed monsters. They were like part ox, part lion, part man, and […]

Haters Gonna Hate
Prophecy of Captivity Jeremiah 20:1 to 47:1 20:1 People hate me. They conspire against me. The governor of the church heard all of the slanderous crap I was saying about him and he had me arrested, beaten, and put in stocks by the gate. Bastard. When I was released I told him that the Babylonians […]

Their Father’s Hell
This is just my take as an astronomy teacher so try to keep it sub-orbital, but I never thought Gun Free Zones were ever about preventing mass shootings. That’s seems like a straw man and a rather flimsy one. The odds of being killed by a shooter coming to your particular school are surely minuscule. […]

Hot Gun Love
I’ll say one thing about these perennial tragic shootings, they sure bring out the stupid. My news feeds are jammed with stupid. I got people swearing that the solution is to arm everyone, apparently even the first graders. Some folks have some sort of John Fucking Wayne complex that romanticizes the old west, turning every […]

Cry Baby Cry
Lamentations Jeremiah 1:1 to 18:1 1:1 The sad miserable tidings of Jeremiah, into whose mouth many words were put by the Lord. 1:4 God knew me before I was even in my mother’s belly. Before I was even a sperm. Then when I became a fetus he decided he wanted me to be a preacher. […]

Suddenly, there was a huge cacophonous sound. The event was actually unimaginably tiny, and there was probably nothing quite like sound yet, but FINALLY, after who knows how long, time itself was invented. And so it begins.Deep Sky Zodiac
