having moved house and getting the internets back. its good to be established again. although still job less. which is proving to be quite restful, i still really want to just write code all day. so that my plan today. im going to attempt to launch into a project that could be available to me. im sure there was a list of things i was going to talk about, but as of right now, i really cannot remember. perhaps its because we have no milk.

English is so awesome. Was having part of this conversation recently, on the back of this from qwantz. This crazy word is viewed differently based on your religious beliefs!! so cool.

  • Dispensation is the act of distributing goods or services, especially those that are regulated, as in the practice of pharmacists.
  • In Buddhism, the Buddha’s dispensation is his teaching.
  • In Protestant Christian theology, a dispensation is a distinctive arrangement or period in which the purpose of God is worked out. Dispensationalism though is a specific Christian theological view that teaches specific periods of time called dispensations form the framework through which God relates to mankind.
  • In Mormonism, a dispensation is a period of time where one or more men designated as holding the priesthood are responsible for “dispensing the gospel” to people on the earth.
  • In the Bahá’í Faith, a dispensation is a period of progressive revelation relating to the major religions of humanity.
