Favorites Sunday – Looking Back Five Years.

RJ Walters

I am refining my Favorites Sunday selection a little here. I have decided that I will go back 5 years to the week to see what I was talking about and if anything has changed. Update It was a tough road, but I think I am finally beginning to keep my life challenging, at least with respect to my current conditions. I have discovered that life can really be joyful regardless of what surrounds you if you work hard enough at it. Five years ago I would never have thought that the tone of the country would have turned so … Continue reading Favorites Sunday – Looking Back Five Years.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

RJ Walters

As usual for this time of year, I have been in a self-reflective mode here on RJsCorner. It seems that the primary focus this year is my Aspie traits. Why I think that is the case is the topic of this post.

Imagining The Next Decade

RJ Walters

Thanks to Frank Diana over at Reimagining The Future I am putting on my dreamer’s hat for this post. I really think, or at least pray, that once that despicable person leaves the Oval Office, we will go on to make our future bright indeed. That is what this post is all about.

RJ Walters

For the next few Sundays I am going to be looking back at the 10+ years of RJsCorner to resurrect some of my favorite posts from the past. I mean those posts where I swell up when I read them again. The first of those favorites is what this post is all about.

Sex and the Church

RJ Walters

I don’t know why I have been thinking about this lately. Maybe it is something to do with having recently read a Sojourners magazine. But I think I have figured out the mentality behind the church’s position on sexuality. That is what this post is all about.

Having My Doubts, Figuratively & Literally

RJ Walters

It seems that Joe Biden is the “fall-back” guy for those who want to take baby steps in recovering from the previous three years. I have serious doubts figuratively and literally on that approach. That is what this post is all about.

RJ Walters

I have been seeking way to withdraw from the world around me without becoming ignorant of what is happening. I think I may have found one way to do that. Really, it’s rediscovered the way. That is what this post is all about.

The Shunning… And Other New Years Resolutions

RJ Walters

For the most part I greatly admire the Amish tradition, that is except for their practice of shunning. But, in their mind it is necessary to keep the faith pure. For me, I need to keep my sanity in the coming year and I think a shunning will help me do that. That is what this post is all about.

I Need A Break!

RJ Walters

I’m taking some time off here at RJsCorner to decompress from this somewhat repulsive year of politics and to get ready for an even uglier one coming up. I need time to finalize my plans for vastly limiting my exposure to the fourth year of idiocy inside the beltway. I think I have a path forward with my blogging but need to put some finishing touches on it. Come back on the last day of this year to see some resolutions I have made for the coming new decade.

Always Finding A New Favorite

RJ Walters

I spend an hour or so each morning with my daily reads. Since I am for the most part shunning things in the political world at least for now, I am always on the lookout for new ideas of looking at the world. This post is about one of those sources I recently found.

Aspies & Grief

RJ Walters

This post is a combination of my topics of Aspies, Philosophy, and Religion, but is centered around the topic of death. Those with Asperger’s just don’t see death as most do. And I kinda think that is a good thing. That is what this post is all about.

Saving The World Is Hard – Don’t Waste Food

RJ Walters

According to a recent New York Times piece about one-third of all food produced and packaged for human consumption is wasted. That amounts to 1.3 billion tons per year or $680 billion. With about 10% of the world’s population chronically undernourished, that is shameful. Another way of looking at it is that the wasted food accounts for about 10% of green house gases.

Cafeteria Christians

RJ Walters

It is amazing to me how many people who are socially tied to a particular religious organization and are either willfully ignorant of their church’s doctrine or just ignore it. I used to think that was a bad thing, but I have changed my mind. That is what this post is all about.

Bright Ideas

RJ Walters

I don’t know about you, but I just can’t seem to simply sit down in front of my computer monitor and come up with ideas for posts here at RJsCorner. In the cold weather months I post daily here, so where do all the ideas come from? That is the topic of this post.
