pensée is French for pansy . . .

According to Encyclopædia Britannica, the term pensée
originated with French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, whose Pensées (1670) was a collection of some 800 to 1,000 notes and manuscript fragments expressing his religious beliefs.
I am borrowing the name for his collection and not a jot of his beliefs. This blog will be the notes and fragments expressing my own religious journeys and musings. I expect it will be fun and somewhat irreverent.
