Only 0.1% Different

I started looking into my family heritage to see if I was eligible for dual citizenship. Discovered I might be eligible in Canada, Ireland, the UK and Norway. Never did I ever think I’d need to think about a Plan B for citizenship, but here we are.

As I went down the rabbit hole of family heritage research, I kept thinking that human DNA is 99.9% the same and yet we keep thinking we are different from one another. That 0.1 % different is just to add color – literally- to us so we aren’t boring to look at.

Still, I guess I’ll find another “tribe” that will take me in as one of theirs.

I Feel Sorry For Jesus These Days

  • When I see white men gathered around for Bible study I wonder who or what group will be persecuted next.
  • We were bike riding yesterday and went past a Mosque where evening services concluding the holy day Eid Al-Fitr were being help. Outside on the sidewalk was a man with a megaphone and a sign proclaiming to be Christian. he was shouting how everyone inside the place of worship were the evil of the world.
  • The Texas State Attorney General, once indicted on multiple felonies but cut a deal, constantly harasses and impedes citizens ability to worship as they choose.
  • The only time I’ve ever had anyone shoot the middle finger at me was when a truck with Trump flags drove by me at a No Kings Rally. What was so horridic about my sign? It said, “Treat Others the Way You Wish To Be Treated.”

We can, and must, be better than this.
