My name is Dan.  This is my blog.  I    am from Texas, but I    live in Florida, now.  I    am still hesitant to put my real info out here because of my job.  I    am a teacher.  In this day and age of progressivism, if I    were gay, transgender, black, or a communist that would … Continue reading This is Today: November 11

He’s Dead

Posted on by danielion9

Those were the words that rang in the minds of His followers.  The men and women He had led were now bereft of love beyond compare.  Dreams of the future were quickly turning into nightmares.  His death spoke ominously of their own prospects.  It meant something powerful to them.  Does it to us?  Or is … Continue reading He’s Dead

Hesitant President

Posted on by danielion9

I am running for president in 2020.  I will dominate and destroy all opposition.  Anyone who thinks about running should consider themselves lucky that they are getting this advance notice of my impending occupation of our nation's highest office.  Upon winning, I will paint the White House red (literally), make Mr. Feeny the Secretary of … Continue reading Hesitant President

In the Beginning- Day 28ish

Posted on by danielion9

Origin story Why did you start your blog? Is that still why you blog, or has your site gone in a different direction than you’d planned? Faithfool.  That's how I came to write this blog. I was becoming disenchanted with the narratives presented that characterized Jesus.  I felt that neither the secular nor the religious … Continue reading In the Beginning- Day 28ish

365: Day 20- My closest friend

Posted on by danielion9

A friend in need... Finish this sentence: “My closest friend is...” My head starts to cycle when I see this prompt.  Best friend (I know it says closest) is a term that drives me back to seventh grade social wars.  Why must an individual create a friend hierarchy?  But then you get older and friends … Continue reading 365: Day 20- My closest friend

365: Day 15- Little baby girl

Posted on by danielion9

There's no place like home If you had the opportunity to live a nomadic life, traveling from place to place, would you do it?  Do you need a home base?  What makes a place "home" for you? Well, this is a alarmingly similar prompt to the other nomadic inquest.  No, I don't want to roam … Continue reading 365: Day 15- Little baby girl

365: Day 14- Fly by

Posted on by danielion9

Fly on the wall If you could be a “fly on the wall” anywhere and at any time in history, where and when would you choose? The obvious answer is something in Bible times.  I believe as a Christian I am required to refer to some event of this nature.  Well, we'll see about that. … Continue reading 365: Day 14- Fly by

365: Day 13- Throw the Switch

Posted on by danielion9

Flip flop Think of a topic or issue about which you’ve switched your opinion. Why the change? Bloody knife.  Eye witness testimony.  History of heated exchanges.  The guilty verdict comes down hard.  The crime is deemed particularly heinous and the man is sentenced to death.  Now, comes the years of waiting and finally the gurney, … Continue reading 365: Day 13- Throw the Switch

Been Awhile

Posted on by danielion9

Hey there world/the small segment that reads this.  I am here, and you are here; we are here.  Light is still moving fast, and gravity is staying strong.  Time seems to be working pretty linearly, at least for us.  I must confess that I broke my New Year's resolution.  I usually don't make one, but … Continue reading Been Awhile

Daily Prompt: Value

Posted on by danielion9

via Daily Prompt: Value Great value.  This term seems to be most frequent these days when describing the purchase of paper towels or light bulbs.  It is no longer a significant qualifier of position or power.  And yet, we all have values.  Money.  Family.  Friends.  Laughter.  Entertainment.  Security.  Freedom.  Ourselves?  Things that are important to … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Value
