Freighter Stuck In The Suez Canal
Folks, maybe you heard about the freighter that was stuck in the Suez Canal and the harm it was causing. Here is a photo of the freighter being freed.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
There are a number of versions of this book available. My copy came out in 1989, but I think the next time I read this book, I will acquire a more recent version.
The Jefferson Bible
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
By Thomas Jefferson
In the early nineteenth century Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States and principal author of the Declaration of Independence, conceived the idea of extracting a gospel purified of what he saw as extraneous philosophical, mythological, and theological elements.
To do so, he took verses from the four canonical gospels and arranged them into a single narrative, focusing on the actual words of Jesus. This work was never published during Jefferson’s lifetime, but was inherited by his grandson and printed for the first time in the early twentieth century.
The original bound manuscript, often referred to as “the Jefferson Bible,” is held by the United States National Museum in Washington.
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
This film isn’t for everyone, actually I think it is for very few people. I’ve seen it a few times and I still find it extremely interesting and worth trying to figure out what it is saying.
Surviving Desire (1992)
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Jokerman (1984)
By Bob Dylan
ART OF THE WEEK
Here is some art with a powerful message.
EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Since it is Easter, why not.
Bugs Bunny
So far the “Cancel Culture” hasn’t come after Bugs Bunny, at least to the best of my knowledge.
JOKE OF THE WEEK
PHYSICAL TRAITS
Holy Water
In the past, the World Famous Chef Ronaldo taught us all how to make Holy Water. Given that it is Easter, I thought it might be helpful to bring this back.
CHARACTER TRAITS
SOCIAL TRAITS
I did some fact checking and found this to be true. I fact check everything on this blog. As for the things I really like but can’t find any factual support, I normally add, “If this isn’t true, it should be.” That phrase wasn’t necessary this time.
LEARNING TRAITS
MISCELLANEOUS
Polls
Test Poll
Last Week’s Polls
Book
If you have ever been curious about this book, the Kindle version of this book has now been reduced to $1.00 and the paperback version has been reduced to $10.00
However, I must warn you that this book will not change your life,
only you can do that.
This book can be ordered from Amazon or Barnes & Nobles.
Well there are many gems in this post, my friend.
I’m reading this in WordPress reader which means the polls do not appear; I will visit the website to participate on those later.
In the meantime, happy Easter! 🐰

Happy Easter! I do worry too much, but I’m working on it! The multiple answer poll seems to be working. It looks like I’m the second person answering the polls today, and there are four answers checked on the multi-answer poll, yay!

The quote I like about worry is: Worry is interest paid on a debt you may not owe. Cool, huh?
