Methinks me wonders at times the amount of a child’s potential lost because the adults don’t know how to adult. Mentioned (several times) before that theKid is involved in sports, like heavily, like more than one team/sport/activity. Anyhoo … There are some kids on some of those teams who only play intermittently because – get …
PLUG IT UP!!!
Got to praising JESUS the other day. Nothing unusual, except the extraordinary that HE is. {John 14:6} May have mentioned around these parts that truck was leaking … something something … rear mail seal … something something … and the estimates were in the four figures. Ew. Anyhoo, got to searching the innernets and came …
The Only Adult in the Room
I don’t get angry. I may be frustrated, or disappointed, or all manner of exasperated and disgusted, but … I don’t get angry. GOD told me a long time ago that I can’t fix anyone but myself, so let it (whatever “it” is) go. However. May have mentioned somewhere around these parts that theKid is …
Baby Jesus and the Bathwater
Andy Stanley is the son of Charles Stanley, of In Touch Ministries, late-night evangelical infomercial fame. Many consider dear ol’ dad to be a true follower of Scripture, and a pastor of the Word. His son, however, is an apostate. Methinks his own sexuality may have … tinged his outlook a bit, but here’s a …
Mark
Saw a CBN story from about a year ago … China is switching to digital currency to go along with that social credit score. That way, the Chinese Communist Gub’mnt can monitor/track all spending, every financial transaction, every purchase, and — if disapproved — can cut off the user’s access to funds immediately in real …
The Great & The Horrible
Know what’s equal parts horrible and great? Not knowing the prices of things, and buying them anyway. Not talking cars, or houses, or dunno, jewelry, nothing like that. Just the everyday stuff that winds up in the cart and then on the card and then on home. Instance: theKid has a thing for naan bread. …
Wife, or BM?
Got to thinking (always dangerous) about the difference in a woman who demands to be a wife before becoming a mother, and a woman who defaults to babymama (aka “BM” coz her life has turned to sh—). A woman’s greatest weakness is her only weapon — the ability, desire/willingness to breed. Unlike the sea louse, …
Fewer with Less
Just finished a delightful little read about the pending collapse of civilization— “An Inconvenient Apocalypse” — and I must say … well done. Mostly, anyway. Even taught me a new word: “ecocide.” Basically, these two first-world, over-privileged aging white guys are proclaiming “game over,” and it’s time to find a new way to be. “Species …
What Is This Dead Thing?
Started off the New Year with some gruesome … theKid attends a private school (of course) quite a distance from the house (of course) and the area is somewhat rural … not entirely, because “Murrica ain’t really that where we live, but there is/are farms, livestock, and long stretches of road between stoplights/intersections, such ‘n …
Baby Blues
Read a funny story the other day. Not funny in the sense of high hilarity, but in the sense of “laugh or scream.” Guy got a vasectomy. Then the wife got pregnant. Suitably outraged at being married to a harlot, the man demanded a paternity test and a divorce. Oops. Turns out, the kid was …
