White paper was finer.                                          Things ground away.
Brown was greener.                                  Things ground away.

A    c o m p a c t    plastic    cup
with    synthetic    filter
beneath  foil  seal
holding  grounds
all  disposable

how?

Filter evolution midst a green revolution yields little clarification.

Thinking about a “Comment of Great Price“.

Am I really willing to sell my self over the internet as I sit here ?

The Parable of “Making Rent On The Internet”

My adult life has been occupied with fixing things.

Oft times people actually pay me to fix things and I’m able to make rent.

Jesus spoke of “Making Rent” in a parable
and if you are familiar with Jesus’ parables
you may know which one I am referring to.
I’ll give you three guesses:

1. Parable of the Talents

3. Parable of the New Cloth Patch
