The Night John Lennon Died

In my last year of college I worked as a negative film cutter

at a small edit house in a building west of Times Square...321 West 44th St just west of 10th.

In that building were many media companies, one of which was The Record Plant for some time, ending on this date 37 years ago,

he was working on his latest album at the record plant on the first floor...almost every morning, as we entered the building together, we wished each other a good day, one of us always holding the door for the other...

almost every evening, we left the building together,

always wishing each other a good evening, always the black limo waiting for him...

He was John Lennon...

except on this night 40 years ago, after wishing him well, I arrived home, turned on Monday Night Football to hear Howard Cosell announce that John Lennon had just been shot and killed...

to this day I still cry...

Making Common Sense of God, Jesus and The Bible

Making Common Sense of God, Jesus and The Bible

Superheroes and Supermen don't exist but smart men do… people just didn't use the right words 2000 years ago and people still don't…

Christ was not unique, he was a well spoken homeless man who scared many of his brethren by speaking of God in a personal way not as a superhero, which is how so many saw God back then and still many do…removed from humankind… God is not a person the Universe and back then no one  could understand what the Universe was… Now we can, using science… The "he" Jesus speaks of is a personification of what he could believe and others of humankind understood... We feared much 2000 yrs ago as we still do now especially contesting accepted fact as much as we do now. It's not enough to present fact but you must prove it...

how much more can I write
