Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Based on a true story

(dedication: to my teens)

There's this sign
At this place
I go to put gas in my car.
It says, like,
''Open 6 a.m. to 12 p.m."
They used to stay open till midnight.

There's this guy
Who owns this place
That sells me gas for my car.
The sign used to say, like, "12 a.m."
But some lady said that wasn't midnight,
So he changed it.

There's this lady
At this place
who takes my money for the gas.
My wifes, like,
"You can go home--it's 6:oo p.m."
But the lady's working till midnight.
