“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

In a godless world, this would be true. In a godless world, there would truly be no purpose for life. If you lived and then died, upon your death nothing else would matter and so your life would have made no lasting difference.

If you were never born, it still wouldn’t matter because there was no real purpose for your existence to affect. Certainly the godless world can invent a purpose, say to affect the future; but for what reason? When you really think about Read More

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

My favorite of the houses we lived in growing up was an old farmhouse in Eola, ILL., with a rhubarb patch.

Although we kids clamored for sugar when we first started gnawing on the raw stalks, we soon became accustomed to the sour stringiness and enjoyed it straight, in between the strawberry rhubarb pies my mom made all through the season.

A Month In New Orleans
