    Introduction

    Cathy Zeiler / April 25, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Welcome to my personal blog! Some of you already know me, and some of you don’t. But either way, I urge you to read this (very long) introductory post before you read the regular blog posts. It will lay the groundwork for various topics I’ll be covering, and perhaps prevent some confusion. (Affiliate Disclaimer) I’ve had a chaotic life with…

    All the Wrong Places

    Cathy Zeiler / March 31, 2026 / No Comments

    What we learned at school, what we see in movies and television shows, things we read, experiences we have… we all have an idea of where something is supposed to be. For example, mention of a span of ice stretching for hundreds of miles with no human in sight might make us think of the Arctic or Antarctic. But our…

    Irreducible Complexity & Automobiles

    Cathy Zeiler / March 27, 2026 / No Comments

    Irreducible complexity: A concept used by proponents of Intelligent Design and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) to argue that complex organisms could not have evolved gradually from more primitive forms, because they need all their interacting parts to function. If you remove one part, the other parts will cease to function. Therefore, the organism could not have started with fewer parts.…

An English Setter I had never seen before smiled at me, then happily trotted through the door, went straight to the den, and hopped up on the recliner. Well Hello! Come in and make…

    Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (the SAVE Act)

    Cathy Zeiler / February 16, 2026 / No Comments

    Much controversy has surrounded this act, since it was introduced. Here’s a brief breakdown. Summary This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S.…

    When my mother and I signed up to deliver Meals on Wheels, we told the director we specifically wanted a route where people especially needed extra help. There was a slum neighborhood with run down houses that they had a very hard time finding drivers who would deliver there, because it was so dangerous. Most residents were the working poor,…

    The Story of Joseph, Mary and Jesus

    Cathy Zeiler / December 20, 2025 / 1 Comment

    So many misconceptions about the Biblical accounts; mis-translations, legends springing up outside of anything found in the Gospels. So little knowledge the average person has of the Jewish culture of that time period during the Roman occupation. We have to start with Mary’s pregnancy. An unwed Jewish girl getting pregnant! The Sanhedrin would have been well within the law to…

    The Star of Bethlehem – What Was It?

    Cathy Zeiler / November 30, 2025 / No Comments

    People have different ideas about Jesus. Some think He never existed at all. Some acknowledge He existed, but believe He was just an ordinary man. Some, like me, know He’s divine, and He still walks among us. What most agree with, is that the letters and scrolls which eventually became the New Testament were written a few decades after the…

    Every time Trump breaks the law and tramples the Constitution, his followers make excuses for him. The White House East Wing situation is no different. From MAGAs: For more than a century, U.S. Presidents have been renovating, expanding, and modernizing the White House to meet the needs of the present day. The Information They’re Leaving Out Theodore Roosevelt’s West Wing…

    MAGAs Were Wrong About Food Stamp Cuts

    Cathy Zeiler / September 28, 2025 / No Comments

    MAGA politicians lied, as usual. Trump followers believed every bit of it, as usual. The left said: millions of Americans are going to lose food stamps. The right said: People will not lose their benefits. The left is scare-mongering. The left was telling the truth, and I hope MAGAs find crow delicious. Food stamp cuts will be rolled out in…
