ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary of Ordinary Life for November 3, 2024
* * *
Dear Ones -
I took the title of this week’s teaching,
Jesus is Watching You,
from a story about a parrot who said the phrase to a thief robbing a house. The “Jesus” in question turned out to be a ferocious dog.
Everybody has some notion or concept of both Jesus and of God. Before giving a very brief summary teaching of both, I give a history of the development of Christian Fundamentalism in this country and what the “five fundamentals” of Fundamentalism are. Jesus shows us what a life full of God looks like. The God of Jesus’ understanding is a god of compassion and justice. Then, I offer my “prediction” about the outcome of this presidential election. My prediction is that no matter who is elected, we have created an event of monumental national embarrassment. I close with the prayer that ends the satirical movie, “Don’t Look Up.”
That’s a very brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
