Some random things

I know some make fun  of the word “random” because it seems you are just being sloppy or stupidly vague in your wording, but it can  convey the sometimes chaotic nature of life. This post is somewhat free-association, but I have  been  mainly focused on finishing my novel  lately and have not had the time to write serious analytical essays, no matter how brief.

On today’s Mass

One of the Old Testament readings today quoted the word “thus.” It reminded me in a kind of humorous way of a good but slightly pompous college lecturer who would repeatedly use the phrase “Thus it was…” before describing what happened in world history.

Thus it was,,,

One of the pastor’s quotes today was that “God shows no partiality.” I like the idea, but Donald Trump may be right in a way that it may be good to have nepotism, a type of partiality, If your family is ethical and qualified, I don’t think  it is wrong to support family more than strangers. It just seems like loyalty.

Had more to say but will leave it there for now,
