Recently one of the women from my church went down to Central America on a mission trip, and when she came back she showed us pictures of the church they are building for this community of refugees from a neighboring country.
Now the church isn't fancy, it's more or less what we would call...
A few Sundays ago we had a guest singer in the church band. A young woman, whom I'd never seen before, and haven't seen since. She had a good voice and blended in well with the rest of the band.
As I watched her sing, I started becoming a little uncomfortable. It was the way she sang, with...
So, how autistic are you?
And by that, I like to delve a bit deeper into situation and comfort level.
I remember that years ago, and I'm talking +10 years ago, autism in general didn't occur to me to be a label that would fit me. I had my own mannerisms, got into some trouble here and...
Well, we are nearing the end of the Book of Acts. Paul is on his way to Rome, and on the way he gets shipwrecked on Malta. It's all in Chapter 27, possibly the finest chapter in the whole book, and I am not alone in thinking this. Whoever wrote this chapter knew all about storms and ships...
I am not a social animal; I tend to shun the herd.
I know I need people and have to associate but sometimes I see little reason behind this as more and more I have come to dislike all the mannerisms and opinionations and one-upsmanship I witness on a daily basis passing in front of the little...
I've been reading some more of Pastor Rob Bell's books, and I have to say that he is one of the few Christian writers that I am familiar with who is not afraid to tackle the issue of why people don't believe/fall away in an honest, no BS position. I really think I could sit down with this guy...
Today I am going to write about the spiritual side of autism and the spectrum. Now you might say, hey, Spinning Compass, you have repeatedly stated you are an agnostic so what are you doing writing about the spiritual side of autism?
That is a valid question. I don't know if there really is...
Opening night was a success! I wish we had had a bigger audience but we are competing with two high school musicals (and since they are funded with taxpayer money they have a bigger budget for advertising than we do).
One of the things I get asked a lot is do you get stage fright? I would...
I've been off from work all week since it is the final week of preparation for the play, which opens tonight. I think it will go well. This is the first play for one of my co-actors but you would never know it. He plays his part so well you would think he was a seasoned veteran.
Anyway I...
Well, we are back to the Book of Acts again. When we left off, our friend Paul was in Roman custody for causing a riot at the Temple because someone saw him earlier hanging around with Gentiles and jumped to conclusions that he was bringing them into the prohibited area. And if you've been...
Yesterday I wrote about a book by a Michigan pastor named Rob Bell, who has been upsetting the evangelical world with some of his off-beat ideas about heaven and hell and salvation. Never mind that C. S. Lewis, the darling of the evangelical set, wrote about some of the very same ideas in his...
One day a computer was invaded by a dangerous virus which caused it to burst into flames.
The man who planted the deadly computer virus that caused a massive blaze was sent to prison
The computer that caught fire from a virus died instantly and had to be buried in a computer graveyard to...
Ok, I have to fess up. I went and read a book Pastor doesn't approve of. The reason I know he doesn't approve of it is that he mentioned it specifically from the pulpit. He said we had to beware of it because it was teaching dangerous lies.
So what was this horrible book that he named by...
Fiddlesticks day Centre is situated in Mintpie Road Ilford. It is a day centre that?s open 24 hours a day. The centre offers computer classes, with 200 computers in a room only five feet wide and a dining room where 500 people have to sit on a table only two feet wide. It?s no wonder people keep...
OK, I am going to warn you. I am going to step on toes again.
I was following an exchange between two AC members, one that I did not take part in, just stood on the sidelines and watched while it deteriorated into an exchange of four-letter words ending with the original poster (OP)...
The other day on the news there was an item about a man who managed to collect over $600,000 in welfare benefits before he was caught. Of course, the comments made much of the fact that he was Muslim and an immigrant. But that is really missing the point. What I would like to know, is how did...
This situation applies to Holland, not the US/UK... however, I think it's something everyone can consider food for thought.
Back when I was a teen, I was worried. Cause at some day, I realized... in a few years I'm 18, and I have to enlist in the army. And be in the army for about a year or...
I know people love technology, so do I. However I have seen a massive issue with it and one that is bothering me big time. I am not a social person and I have explained this more that once. I know I do tend to go on. Smartphones are a nightmare for me, knowing what people do and where they are...
So, apparently I like to ramble a bit about employment and such, and this is no different.
A few thoughts resonate in my mind for the last few weeks. And some stuff actually was stuff I read on this forum. It wasn't a problem as such, that I felt miserable for it... to me it's data, to help...
Sometimes I wonder if all the attention autism is getting nowadays is a good thing, or whether it will end up backfiring on us. It's really hard to explain to someone what exactly autism is, and how it makes you (the autistic person) different from non-autistic persons, or to use the current...
