Wow, this came at the perfect time.
Today has been a slog.
No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.
Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

I along with my wife, and seven others were confirmed into full communion with the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. It was a beautiful service full of celebration and joy. We all felt truly loved and welcomed.
It sounds cliche but I really feel like I have come home.

I want to share an image with you—an image that I think sheds light on how the pleasures the world offers pale in comparison to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was about eighteen, out on the town with friends in Adelaide. We’d spent the whole night partying—too much to drink, too much noise, chasing the kind of thrill we all assumed would make us happy. As dawn approached, we wandered through the quiet streets of the city, still laughing, still buzzing from the night.
That’s when I noticed it. …
It’s REALLY important to appreciate that this “papers, please” issue is not just a matter of personal outrage about official overreach. It is that, but it’s SO much worse than that.
No, these “papers”, “vaccine passports”, “green passes” are something you’ve never encountered before.
What they are is the worlds first, common format, digital ID, with editable health & other fields & crucially, with “interoperable” characteristics.
This means that you & I might present our VaxPasses to the same read…
Soon we won't need to "present" our vax passes because they'll be embedded into our flesh and fully scannable from any direction by any government agency or rogue hacker possessing the proper equipment. Oh well, the Luddites tried to warn us. That's the price of progress!
yes like all our dogs and cats have 'chips' now...sound familiar?
Start with the cats and dogs, then move onto the humans, who are the cats and dogs of the future!
well maybe we are more like rats and mice :(
Hamsters on the wheel, Coppertop!
