Not Something To Be Feared
“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not … Continue reading Not Something To Be Feared

The Synergy Of A Doodle & A Quote…
I certainly enjoy MyArtsySide here at RJsCorner, but I am finding those things for the most part to be entertaining but not mentally challenging. I need additional things to help me live my life mantra of Think For Yourself, Question … Continue reading The Synergy Of A Doodle & A Quote…

Diversity – Convoluted Paths & A Way Forward…
My in-depth study of Christianity 18 years ago showed me just how far religion has veered from its original founder. I am now discovering a similar thing happening in the psychiatric community surrounding neurodiversity. That is what this post is all about. Continue reading Diversity – Convoluted Paths & A Way Forward…
Just Ordinary People….
For this Sunday I have again decided to pull a post from my legacy blog at RedLetterLiving.net (Click on the logo above to see RLL). It was originally posted 13 years ago, but it seems to be more relevant to today’s version of Christianity We forget to distinguish between history as a record of the elites and history as a record of the people. While most academics concentrate on the theologians who wrote the treatises and on the bishops who argued about questions of authority, the most important constituency of all gets left out: the vast majority of ordinary people … Continue reading Just Ordinary People….

Till Death Do Us Part… Aspie Style..
It used to be that your word was your reputation. If you break your word you suffer the consequences. But for the words in the title above, the majority of us break our word. Oh, we have all the intentions … Continue reading Till Death Do Us Part… Aspie Style..
RJsCorner – The Final Frontier
RJsCorner has been about several different things throughout its 17-year history. I truly believe that it has finally evolved into its true purpose, and that is:
Having My Say — Life on the Margins — My Artsy Side
Let’s look at these three topics Continue reading RJsCorner – The Final Frontier

Early Christian Practices….
Robin Myers –The Underground Church – Reclaiming the Subversive Way of Jesus. Given for the past 1500 years or so, or at least since the age of Constantine, Christianity has been pretty much defined by what we are supposed to believe about … Continue reading Early Christian Practices….
Worshipping vs Following
The topic of this post has been on my mind lately especially since Christianity has become VERY political now. The image above is from one of my first blogs I started in 2008 entitled RedLetterLiving. This particular post was written … Continue reading Worshipping vs Following
A Melting Pot vs. A Stew….
When I was a kid I often heard that the USA was the great American melting pot. To me that implied that when people came to this country they gave up all their traditions and heritage and merged seamlessly into … Continue reading A Melting Pot vs. A Stew….
A Last Time Memory
I have been there more times than I can remember. It was the place to go when I wanted to feel truly refreshed. There is just something about the place that always allows that to happen. It is about a … Continue reading A Last Time Memory
Brain Fog
In my 78th year, brain fog seems to be a common occurence. Some morning I get up and am immediately ready to do some serious writing/blogging right off the bat. And then there are others when I can’t even seem to find my desk. Continue reading Brain Fog

Clinging To Your Old Self…
I like to think that I am a forward looking guy who embraces change, but sometimes I am stuck in my ways simply because that’s what I have always done. That was probably the hardest lesson to learn 25 years ago when I left the corporate world. I couldn’t imagine what my life was going to be like now that my time was my own. And, that is a lesson I continually am learning even today. Continue reading Clinging To Your Old Self…
