The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

I noticed from the Bethel University website that the Board of Trustees for BU have made a small change in the Covenant of Life Together. Apparently after a study of a couple year span, the Trustees decided that alcoholic beverages may be used in moderation by those students in the Graduate School, Adult and Professional [...]

This weekend’s message was on resting on the Sabbath.  I have an intellectual understanding of what it means, but in my own heart and soul, I don’t know if I really know how to rest per se.  I guess that I would need to spend more time with God then I ordinarily do.  I don’t [...]

I just learned from the Fox News website that the United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution means that all individuals who are not otherwise legally disqualified are allowed to have firearms to defend themselves and to hunt. Kudos to the Supreme Court.  It doesn’t mean I [...]

Again I have the situation of hurry up and wait, stop and go, and that kind of stuff.  I’m frankly not happy about being stuck waiting longer than I feel I should be waiting on stuff.  I am hating the boredom and the isolation, but there’s not much I can really do about it. On [...]

I had my VAMC appointments this morning.  They went without any major hitches.  It did take 45 minutes to pick up my prescriptions in the Pharmacy.  I went out to my truck, which was parked in the far part of the Visitor Outpatient lot.  My truck was parked with the front facing the main lane [...]

but it’s so so soooo tough.  I’m in another holding period in my life.  I’m trying to find out if I made it to enroll in the computer technician program at MRC.  Of course, today and tomorrow are the weekend, when nothing happens in the business world usually.  But it would be so good to [...]

It’s an honor and a privilege to report that the last tests and discussion of tests and inventories and other hoopla are D U N Done!  The tests overall went well.  There was some discussion of what I would like to do.  The evaluator said that she would do her best to see if I [...]

Tests, Tests, and more tests.  I lost count of how many tests I took today.  We did go over the interest inventories and the MATB test too.  It seems like I have aptitude and interest in the clerical and communication fields.  That pretty much means I could do data entry, word processing, filing, and so [...]

I got to the place in plenty of time.  What actually happened is that I wound up waking up at 0130, had some breakfast, did stuff on the computer here, then I managed to nap for a couple of hours.  Got up, did personal hygiene, got dressed, and then headed out to the city of [...]

I realize the title is corny, and there’s really no such entity as Mother Nature, but I don’t know what else to call this blog. I am awestruck at the destruction that all of these weather issues have done to homes and businesses in various parts of our country.  I saw on Fox News Channel [...]
