the pretenders

we wake each day
to a complex world
feeling sophistocated
refined and complicated

we walk thru this world
eyes are on our future
ready to claim destiny
a soul mate prodigy

the pretenders deny
the truth that darwin spoke
ignore all implications
of evolution's yoke

blinded to the power
of our primal intent
we all rationalize and ignore
the logic we rent

a pursuit with logic
and a pursuit with love
is a pursuit in guise
of evolution's demise

    well, we spend so much time thinking that attraction and choosing a mate is based on logic... but i think alot of the part of finding someone is actually based in how God created our brains to be drawn to certain things... coupled with our past experiences... like maybe we grow to love someone unconditionally only after our "subconscious" directed us to them... that "mysterious" force that draws us to someone.. "attraction" is a composite of evolutionary psychology and our experiences.

    and i'm not saying that God doesn't work to draw people together... but rather maybe he does it over thousands of years of work to produce a person "you" to be the way you are, and to find "them" attractive and to be drawn to them.

    did i make any sense? i'm not really saying this is how it is... but wondering if this might be how it is.

Marriage: Cultural Misconception Exposed.

Recently I had a single person ask me if marriage was difficult. I'm not sure I can make a statement that rings true in all and for all marriages.   My experience of marriage has been intertwined with my wife's difficult health problems. Thus my perspective has been colored. Facing life in the midst of these health problems has been the most difficult experience of my life. What I can say about marriage is that I was lied to almost my entire life. God did not invent marriage to "make us happy"... The lie propagated by nearly every facet of American society as a whole. A lie left largely un-refuted by church, or so it seemed to me. "Oh, he makes me so happy!" and then when he doesn't make you happy any longer... "I just don't love him anymore". Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

Bandon Oregon

I first played Bandon Dunes 8 years ago with my college buddies. It was beyond amazing! It was everything one could hope for, just epic! Between the mist, fog, break through sunlight, walks though dunes, pine forest, on the edge of 100’ cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean! It was simply amazing! Since then, I’ve only longed to go bock. Yet, our plans never seemed to gain traction towards  return trip to Bandon. After this 2023 last trip to Jackson Wyoming, I decided to stop waiting on others, and I planned a solo trip to Bandon. Part of being a real fan of golf, I think, involves the enjoyment of golf getting paired with other random golfers. We all share the somewhat of the same love for the game, or we wouldn’t be there. You can talk, but you don’t necessarily have to make conversation. Just talk about the golf, the surroundings, “good shot!” I initially set out for this to be a completely solo trip, just fly out on my own, but my wife ended up having a change of heart and desi
