Should we be saying God Bless America or God Save America?

Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

In the modern world we might say that no one can serve both wealth and democracy.

Who are the real Americans? After all, very few of us are descended from the original native Americans.

Mirrors are good as they show things that one might not otherwise see.

My Books. In particular, if you enjoy the religious comics, you might like A God of Manageable Size.

Another mass shooting in Colorado. Will this madness ever end? Or will things just get worse as the stress of life increases with more people pushed out of work or into the gig economy?

It’s now been two years since the first post on CatWorld.blog. The cats thank you for reading, and they hope you enjoy the third year of their wise advice and profound opinions. This is also the 300th post of Cat World. A double celebration.

It seems that some people get a very low-quality image in the Cat World email, where the text is almost unreadable.

The image on the web site is high resolution. If you click the blue title above the image in the email, you will go to the website where you can see the Cat World image in all its glory.

Apparently WordPress sometimes compresses the image it sends out to meet some unknown parameters. I hadn’t noticed the image degradation in the email as I use Yahoo Mail which seems to maintain most of the image quality.

Some people who use Gmail, on the other hand, appear to get horrible image quality. All this suggests that either WordPress compresses the image differently based on the destination email system, or that the destination email system also does its own image compression. Or something else. If anyone has any knowledge of what actually happens I’d love to hear back.

In the meantime, if you can’t easily read the text in the Cat World email, click on the blue title above the image and you will be taken to CatWorld.blog where the text is readable 🙂

And the story continues in all its depressing predictability.

Mary Oliver has just died so I thought I would re-post a cartoon from last August that used a lot of her wonderful lines. As a sort of tribute or memorial.
