Micah 6:8
Luke 18:20-23
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is American Chess Day - huzzah! I think an appropriate way to celebrate would be to watch "Searching for Bobby Fischer," a really good film about kids in the competitive chess world.
I think I was in University when I got my chess computer - Boris - which was an amazing piece of kit at the time. It didn't move the pieces, rather it had a red LED readout that told you where its pieces should go, and a keypad for entering your moves so it knew what was where. Oh, and Boris plays black.
Just a semi-political, semi-spiritual aside here: I keep seeing people posting things like, "why is it that when Jesus says to feed the poor it's Christianity, but when a politician says to feed the poor it's Socialism?"
It's an interesting question on its face, but here's my take on it. Jesus says "Share what you have with the poor," the politician says "I'll share what you have with the poor." That seems very different to me. I guess I'm a Davy Crockett kind of guy.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
