A Doxology in Darkness - Chapter 1 - Screaming

Sharon June 18th, 2008

Wailing is one thing, but vocal cord ripping shrieks of pain are another.

I drove down the road, screaming until my sides ached, and my throat felt as though it were sure to bleed if I continued much longer. As I began to pound the steering wheel, the inarticulate screams took the shape of words, and I was stunned to hear those words were directed straight at God.

Into the Wild

The Merry Monkey April 7th, 2008

I’ve spent my entire life in a cage. I’m a Rhesus Monkey. I know some of my relatives live in the jungle or in zoos. I’ve seen them on TV. But I work in a lab to help the humans study the effects of blogging on the central nervous system of primates.

You may feel sorry for me, but you shouldn’t. I’m happy. My work is meaningful. Millions of people will benefit from the research in which I’m involved. Plus, I get to spend a lot of time just kicking around on the Internet, wa … (Read More)
