Welcoming Others…

America has for most of my lifetime been a country who welcomes others. That was severely changed for the four years that despicable person occupied the Oval Office. It is just strange to me that so many who call themselves Christians do the exact opposite of the above! Thankfully, there are enough progressive Christians who will carry this mantel. Those who are afraid of so … Continue reading Welcoming Others…

A Seat At The Table…

The most terrorizing thing for many white men, and particularly evangelicals, is that everyone now is demanding a seat at the table. There are unarmed revolutions going on now in most countries of the world saying that we will no longer live invisible in the shadows of white men. Those demanding a seat at the table are a very diverse group, much like the population … Continue reading A Seat At The Table…

LOM – A Celebration…On The Margins

I don’t know about you, but I kinda think it is time to start celebrating. We have had a dreadful year fighting this virus, but the end is now in sight. We had an anguishing four years with a ranting incompetent narcissist in the daily news. Simply speaking there haven’t been many reasons to celebrate life in general. When I started Life On the Margins … Continue reading LOM – A Celebration…On The Margins

About Aspies & Narcissism?

I think it is time for another Aspie lesson on RJsCorner. This one is a very basic question Are Aspies Narcissists? One Aspie characteristic that I have in spades is I take things much more personally than NTs. I should probably stop here and explain NT. Those with Aspergers are considered more “neurodiverse” than much of the general population. To signal that difference people without … Continue reading About Aspies & Narcissism?

Understanding MAGA…

I have made it my quest lately to try and understand the MAGA folks who voted for the current Oval Office occupant. They surely are not set on destroying our country but what drives them? I got a partial answer to that from a recent Fareed Zakaria program on CNN.

Homeschooling

I will say up front here that I am not an advocate for homeschooling.  I think it deprives a person of some very necessary life experiences. What is the primary reason that parents give for homeschooling their children? We control the curriculum. With homeschooling, I can choose the curriculum that best meets my child’s learning style. A relaxed atmosphere.Homeschooling, for the most part, is a … Continue reading Homeschooling

Part 10 – My Venture Into Asperger’s – Closing Thoughts For This Series..

  This is Part 10 of 10 of My Venture Into Asperger’s. This post is primarily about my closing thoughts of what I have learned about myself and the Asperger’s Syndrome in general. When I discovered that I might be an Aspie I searched the web for info about this condition and found that I share many characteristics with the neurodiverse population.  Before I get into personal details about … Continue reading Part 10 – My Venture Into Asperger’s – Closing Thoughts For This Series..

Playing a Part…

There is nothing childish about make believe, it should stay with us our entire lives.  It makes us more aware of the diversity around us and in our history.  I found these two at the Vincennes Rendezvous walking the grounds.  I’m sure they both  had this event on their calendar with a big star next to it.  Playing the part of some of their heroes….

Its All About Communications….

JEFFREY BROWN: But couldn’t you make the argument that it would be better if we all spoke the same language, that we all understood each other? There would be — well, there would be more understanding in the world. BOB HOLMAN: Well, I love that argument, and it makes so much sense, until you understand what understanding is. You know, language is much more than … Continue reading Its All About Communications….

The Best Thing About ‘American’ Christianity

Diversity For decades people have been prophesying about American Christianity’s demise. Church attendance is dropping, our culture is becoming increasingly immoral and the president is probably the Antichrist. Various pundits, experts and research groups have seemingly made a living predicting American Christianity’s downfall, and yet, while Christianity has become extinct in numerous parts of the world, it continues to live on—and sometimes thrive—within the United … Continue reading The Best Thing About ‘American’ Christianity

Power to the People…..

source:  Nonwhite voters and changing values make 2012 election pivotal – Los Angeles Times. The 2012 election marked the point at which a new American electoral coalition solidified its hold on politics, one built on the country’s growing nonwhite population and on cultural changes that have given younger voters of all races a far different outlook on political issues from that of their elders. It … Continue reading Power to the People…..

Its About Time — Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S.

source: Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S. – NYTimes.com. After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States. I bet the racist blogs this morning are white-hot, pun intended, talking about this article! But for myself I say it is about time. I think that our strongest … Continue reading Its About Time — Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S.
