27 Oct: Daily Homily and Tweets
One of the tweets Ann German brought to my attention today is about the judicial system in Mississippi. The situation is so outrageous that I feel I have to do more than just present the tweet. A poor, young, woman had a baby. When the baby was four months old, she...
26 Oct: Daily Homily (Weinstein and Determinism) and Tweets
Given the heinous nature of the actions of Harvey Weinstein, there are still plenty of tweets about him in the Twitterverse. He's getting plenty of attention elsewhere too, and rightly so. In today's fast moving news cycle, things get old too fast too often. Today...
25 Oct: Daily Homily and Tweets
Most of those I follow on Twitter are of a similar mindset to me. As a result, most of the tweets from the US I see agree that Trump is a bad president and the country would be better off without him. However, I'm aware that I'm not seeing a representative...
Why the Iran Nuclear Agreement is a Good Deal
The official name of the Iran Nuclear agreement is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA. It was signed in Vienna on 14 July 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iran on one side and France, Great Britain, China, Germany, Russia, and the US on the other. The...
22 Oct: Daily Homily and Tweets
Things are not looking good in New Zealand. We've finally got a government, but the only people it's ideal for are Winston Peters and his voters. The weather is gloomy after several days of lovely sunshine. And, worst of all, the All Blacks LOST! There are, of course,...
18 Oct: Daily Homily (Religion & Children) and Tweets
I haven't done many religion tweets in these posts, so I'll write about it instead. A couple of weeks ago I once again had proselytizers at the front door. This time, they were from the Seventh Day Adventist Church. One was a man in his 30s or 40s, and the other was a...
17 Oct 2017: Homily (NZ Coalitions) and Daily Tweets
It's been a couple of days, so I thought it was about time I did a tweets post. I've been partly writing a "proper" post, and partly taking time off. Spoiler Alert: the "proper" post is about the Iran Nuclear deal, which I support. It's mostly written, and I know what...
Tweets and Homily: Fox Blames Clinton for Weinstein
The Twitter-verse is still full of tweets about Harvey Weinstein, which is no surprise. More and more women are coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape. The MO (method of operation) many of them describe is very similar, which makes...
12 Oct 2017: Daily Homily (Sexual Predators in Politics) and Tweets
There are, naturally, a lot of tweets about the revolting activities of Harvey Weinstein at the moment. A lot of people are expressing their disgust in suitable terms, all trying to outdo each other with the words they can come up with. Most of them are a load of...
10 Oct 2017: Daily Homily (Compromise in Politics) and Tweets
The United States is rightfully proud of it's origins. There is an underlying premise in the tweets from that country that comes from the First Amendment of their constitution - that they have freedom of speech. It's a premise that all of us who live in democracies...
8 Oct 2017: Daily Homily and Tweets
I'm happy to report that the New Zealand All Blacks won again! They played the South African Springboks in the early hours of this morning. This was the last game of "The Investec Rugby Championship" competition for both teams for this year. The All Blacks got through...
6 Oct 2017: Daily Homily (Gun Control) and Tweets
After I (finally) finished yesterday's tweets post, I watched 'The Five' on Fox News. (I'd recorded it earlier.) Their first segment was about President Trump's remarks during his visit to Las Vegas. They played his remarks, and they were good. He read them well, and...
