This post is inspired by a podcaster. The podcaster is also a writer. He is not trained in journalism. He and his cohost for today left jobs to become writers, podcasters and observers. Sometimes I agree, other times not so much. Neither one is an expert.
I do not use AI on any of this. The podcasters admit using it. I use Alexa for spelling sometimes so I do not lose my place! Sometimes those spelling corrections on a phone keypad are missed.
Their conversation took me in a different direction. My first thoughts of posting this time were about the student riots in Albania because there have been some hits on my blog from Albania.
Do you believe they are students in Albania leading the charge? I grew up in riots. Kent State is an etched memory. Well orchestrated? CIA? Deep state? Definitely not organic. Good versus evil? Genius evil? Genius good?
Jesus changed the world without using torches.
If you are my age you may remember the television movie, The Whole World is Watching? Bombings and fires were a thing. Experts weighed in.
The host does look for first person sources. He does news and deep dives on voting issues, Trump, war, etc. I listen when I can.
So today's podcast had a segment on the term "lawyer" due to the media driven hoopla on the newest blond in Trump's Press Secretary venture. Make no mistake, she probably is not a real blonde and she is not dumb.
Lawyers and experts often get things wrong. So you may be better off listening to experienced voices crying out in the wilderness than any member of the Bar. Maybe she sought that light and left legal practice. In China, would the ABA be needed?
Praying today for healing and wisdom for all. Yeah, I have a piece of that puzzle in my book. These are not shameless plugs. I have given books of mine away and those written by others for information sharing. Experts and lawyers got it wrong in my case.
You do not need to be an expert to solve a problem. Experts laugh. Jesus wept. Experts have made me want to scream.
I wrote most of this in front of the Blessed Sacrament today. Whoever you are, where ever you are at, Jesus cares. God sees the bigger picture, but we are the eyes, ears, hands, legs, brains and hearts he uses.
Do you have a piece of the puzzle? Connect the dots.
Pray. The world needs you.
If you find a misspelled word..oh well. Maybe it means something.
