Just a Thought

For better or worse, sometimes I only have a single, unqualified thought. This seemed as good a place as any to drop off some shareable quotes, poetry and a nuisance idea for those who need a shot.

The Hounds of Love

The Hounds of Love - Sermo Humilis

There is something of a weight that descends on many people when the love (charity, service) they give moves from a voluntary response to, 'Do it, it's your job”. I wonder if doctors find it easier to care for the sick once they retire from "doctoring"? I wonder if nurses feel … [Read more...] about The Hounds of Love

The End of Darkness

The End of Darkness - Sermo Humilis

In Isaiah’s day there were dangers all around. The Middle East, like today, was a place of ever-threatening war. The year is 734 BC. Syria and Israel had joined forces to attack and divide up Judah.

To those Who Believe - Sermo Humilis

In Mark 10:17 we meet a rich young ruler. Given our envy, as soon as we read that he is rich, (and young, and a man!), it may be tempting to draw an unflattering conclusion about what he is like. But this guy has all the outward appearance of a fine Christian man. With his … [Read more...] about To Those Who Believe

Living in Babel

November 13, 2022 By David Trounce Leave a Comment

Perhaps one of the most significant ingredients in a healthy and productive society, a happy family, or a peaceful community is a shared language. This shared language necessarily includes shared definitions about the world we live in. Where a common language no longer exists … [Read more...] about Living in Babel
