Nobody likes consequences. I don’t like them. You don’t like them. Relient K hates them. But they’re real and unavoidable. Get pulled over for speeding, you pay a fine. You can be mad all you want, but…consequences. You don’t water your flowers, and they die. Frustrating, but…consequences. You’re upset with decisions being made by theContinue reading “Only God can judge me (and He will)”

Don’t Cough On Me
Last week my family and I went shopping at Walmart. That used to be insignificant, but now it’s sort of a treat for my girls to get to go shopping. The location we were at does not require face masks, and few shoppers wear them. My family did, largely because I want my girls toContinue reading “Don’t Cough On Me”
On razors and stupidity
My favorite Podcast, Garage Logic with Joe Soucheray (Hail the Flashlight King!), recently introduced me to an interesting idea, a statement called Hanlon’s razor. A razor is a brief, logical statement intended to help someone process through a problem and quickly come to the best solution. Hanlon’s razor says this: Never attribute to malice thatContinue reading “On razors and stupidity”
Echo
Today I am going to highlight the single greatest problem plaguing us in the United States and give the solution that will save us all. The problem is, because of the problem, no one that needs to hear the message will hear it. Drat. Also, I DEFINITELY am not guilty of this AT ALL! <lateContinue reading “Echo”
Fear
Fear is a strange thing. Fear can come from a thing (a virus) or a lack of a thing (toilet paper?). It can because of knowledge (number of deaths from the virus) or lack of knowledge (when will there be toilet paper?). It can be something that we understand or it can be something weContinue reading “Fear”
Don’t be like “Attack of the Clones”
It’s amazing how our attitude affects a situation. We can go into something truly fantastic and be completely disappointed, or we can go into something absolutely awful and be pleasantly surprised, all based on our initial expectations and attitude. Take the Star Wars movies for example. The original 3 were spectacular. Episodes 1-3 have someContinue reading “Don’t be like “Attack of the Clones””
No one expects the unexpected
Difficult and unexpected situations tend to bring out some unexpected things. We don’t realize how important something is until it’s gone. Like toilet paper or deodorant. We don’t fully appreciate how much teachers do, until we start teaching our own kids at home. We aren’t grateful enough for simple opportunities to gather together, shake hands,Continue reading “No one expects the unexpected”
Getting out while not going out
So…my last post went in a different direction than I had intended, so I’m going to try this again… A lot is changing around us right now. And we don’t like change. We all like knowing what to expect, and some of us really like knowing what to expect. It’s probably a control thing-I knowContinue reading “Getting out while not going out”
Points if you can pronounce "Habakkuk"
Over the last few days or so, I’ve begun to get use to a feeling of surrealness. I went grocery shopping last week. It wasn’t that the store was empty-there was plenty of food. But it certainly was more empty than I’ve ever seen a grocery store. It reminded me of shopping for groceries inContinue reading “Points if you can pronounce "Habakkuk"”
