I just bought a Guillotine Bagel Slicer

 I just bought a Gullotine Bagel Slicer. I buy bagels by the dozen, slice them in half and throw them in the freezer where they will keep frozen for months. When I want a nice toasted bagel, I take one out of the freezer and pop it in the toaster. Smothered in butter or cream cheese or peanut butter and jelly or make a bagel sandwich with just about anything and you will experience a little bit of heaven on earth.

Autumn flavored K-cups

These flavored coffee K-cups are delicious. I especially like the Apple Crumb and the Pumpkin Spice.

 


Buy the A Course In Miracles Lessons perpetual calendar.

 I bought two of these calendars, one for home and one for my office. These perpetual calendars prompt me to reflect on the Course In Miracles workbook lessons throughout the day. Buy one for yourself and they make great gifts for other Course students.

Perpetual calendar for ACIM workbook lovers

Received my perpetual calendar this morning, 08/31/20,  and it's just what I wanted.

I opened it immediately to lesson #30, God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. I placed it on my desk at work where I can glance at it all day long and experience a little wave of peace and joy.

I like it so much, I ordered another one for home. Get one for yourself, and it makes a great gift for other ACIM students.

Voter suppression and how it works in the United States

For more on voter suppression read Carol Anderson's book, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth Of Our Racial Divide, chapter five entitled, "How to unelect a black president," pp.138 - 160.

Looking for a good book for your book discussion group? Check out Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver

Looking for a great book for your fall book discussion?

UU A Way Of Life recommends Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver, and David Markham's companion book Critical Reading of Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver from a Unitarian Univeralist Perspective.




A critical reading of Barbara Kingsolver’s book, Flight Behavior, from a Unitarian Universalist’s perspective explores the topics that Fight Behavior covers: climate change, stagnating marriages, fears for the future of the children we desperately love, the role of science in society, the role of ethics in society, the dynamics of extended family life, cultural differences of region and class, infidelity, the importance of friendship, and the role of religion in our contemporary society. 

Whew! This is not beach book, but a critical reading of a novel of substance, depth, grace and challenge.It is not necessary to have read Flight Behavior to enjoy and profit from this book.

The Death Of Expertise by Tom Nichols.

I am going to read this book next month, September, 2020, for a nonfiction book discussion group I am in. I have a hunch in the days of the Covid-19 pandemic the ideas in this book will be more timely and relevant than ever with Donald Trump's denial of the public health principles underlying the spread of the coronavirus which is contributing to a death toll climbing towards 200,000 Americans.

Donald Trump claims he is a very stable genius and smarter than the generals and the public health experts. Many Republican governors are cut from the same cloth and their constituents are becoming infected and dying. This dismissal of expert knowledge and advice based on the Dunning-Kruger effect has deadly consequences.

Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. An emphasis on "responsible" should be placed.

There will be articles posted during September, 2020 on this blog about ideas generated from the reading of this book. I hope you will read the book if interested and participate in the discussion.


I have gone to the birds with the seventh principle.

Prepare for Peak Hummingbird Season! Here's How » Bird Watcher's Digest

I love these small hummingbird feeders. I put one outside my sliding glass door and watched the hummingbirds dart and dance and come to feed at it regularly. Last week I accidentally dropped it when I went to refill it and it cracked so I had to throw it out.

I went to several stores looking for this style feeder. The stores had many fancier hummingbird feeders that cost two, three, and four times as much, but not his simple style which does the trick and is so easy to clean and refill.

So I went on Amazon on 08/18/20 and bought this pack of four for under $13.00 and they came today, 08/21/20. I am very excited to set them up and watch the hummingbirds come to visit once again.

The hummingbird nectar is simple to make with 4 parts water and one part granulated sugar.

I am reminded of our seventh UU principle, the respect for the interdependent web of which we are a part. My life is so enriched sharing it with the birds. Some people have told me for years that I "have gone to the birds." It's true. I don't deny it.
