A quote on New Year’s Resolutions
A resolution is a voluntary abdication of our freedom and immediate gratification in the interests of a higher goal. As such, it is a symbol of civilization, defined as an institution which regulates our wilder, more destructive desires for the sake of the common wealth and our own flourishing. Resolutions are minor laws that we pass against our unruly selves.

Post Modernism defined
Theologians often talk about postmodern culture as one in which people are increasingly reluctant to accept the existence of any absolute, universal truths or to believe anyone who purports to have “the truth” or who maintains that one truth applies to all people.

Pablo Picasso – (1881-1973) – Spanish Painter and Sculptor
On Evolution – James McPherson
It’s not religion but atheism that needs an evolutionary explanation. Why would nature breed a group of people who see no point to life
On Dawkins – James McPherson
Dawkins says if you can’t prove God scientifically God exists, then He doesnt. In which case love, beauty, courage & more don’t exist either
On new beginnings
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
