RANDOM MUSINGS

…Did none of the social justice warriors who succeeded in removing the NFL’s Redskins from Washington DC so that the Commanders could move in to take their place recognize the irony?

…Because I grew up in a teetotaling home I am unable to recognize when I’m interacting with a person impaired by drugs or alcohol.  I interact as though they are reasoning normally and not always with pleasant results.


…We are all created equal, but we are not all born equal.


…I recently awoke in the middle of the night thinking about death – not what the world would be like without me here – but what life after death would be like without everyone and everything familiar to me.  No matter how strong your faith is, I can’t imagine that not feeling foreign and uncomfortable, at least at first.


…Having good intentions is not the same thing as having good judgment.


…In 1988-1989 when we put the addition onto the old church (which is now my office), one of the conflicts we had was whether to buy new air conditioners or keep the ones that had been there for at least fifteen years.  A few folks believed purchasing new ones would be an irresponsible waste of money.


…‘Saccharine’ is the word that comes to mind when I think of most Christian movies.  Everything in the story, including the problems, is always too perfect – and quite unlike life as we know it.


…When I umpire a high school game and the catcher announces that he hasn’t caught since Little League, I know it’s going to be a rough day.


…As cursive is increasingly NOT being taught, it seems that a generation of young people will grow up not having unique and recognizable signatures.


…Though I prefer fudgesicles, I will always choose ice cream sandwiches because I detest the taste and texture of wooden popsicle sticks.  I also hate using those flat wooden spoons that come with little cardboard cups of ice cream. 


…In Hallmark movies it’s always snowing but never accumulating.
