Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

was a sermon written by Jonathan Edwards in the early 1700s. Edwards was a Puritan preacher who thought it would be a good idea to attract folks by having them FEAR their "god". Yup, preach love and divine forgiveness, then scare the shit out of them with little ditties like this. Edwards wrote this sermon called "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and (if memory serves) he described his theory that people were simply like spiders, hanging from a webstrand while, "god" dangled us from an open fire.

I only mention this literary gem as the opener to the more enlightening story of our mountain slumber (which I am eager to expanded), but it will have to come in droves between the much needed sleep.


Editor's Note: To the 'Weather Channel'. "Isolated showers" does not mean torrential downpours and cloud-to-ground lightning for 30 straight hours.

Editor's Note: That earlier blog where I wrote about the dumbass under the banyon tree? I'd like to delete that from by blog-log.


Note to Self (and interesting fact for all): Cats really are resiliant. We were gone three days and I only had to clean up two shits-on-the-floor and one minor upchuck... That's much better than even I did on this last camping trip.


Note to Self (and interesting fact for all): Aluminum is the fourth most conductive metal behind copper, silver, and gold. Important fact when purchasing next tent.


Time to go nappy again... until later.
