SKILLS CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN Three things: First, I could have done better. Don’t get me wrong, I had a good father. However, like most fathers of that era, he was aloof. I don’t remember him spending much time with us. I thought I would be better … and I think I was. However, now that I’m at the other end …

GUEST POST from Don – Golden Silence +
GOLDEN SILENCE + How would you like to eat a meal at a restaurant in peace? No music blaring, no game on the TVs, no server asking questions “How was your meal?” If you need something you punch it into a console … “Coffee refill.” People are paying extra for nothing extra. Restaurants aren’t the only places providing …

GUEST POST from Don – AI and RX +
AI and RX + AI is coming far faster than it should. It knows no boundaries and has no shame. Without boundaries it will do for Medicine what Garmin did for travel. Faster, easier, more accurate … most of the time. 110% failure at other points. Garmin showed us that not paying attention could put you into a lake …

GUEST POST from Don – GUEST POST from Don – Christmas on Blurry Mountain (part 2 of 4)
CHRISTMAS ON BLURRY MOUNTAIN (2 of 4) Sarah Hughes, being 15 and attractive, was the belle of the valley with a suddenness that made other teen girls anxious. Susan had been her best friend last year, but when Susan’s boyfriend took an interest in Sarah, she acted rude and put-offish. Sarah was not expecting that, but she appreciated …

GUEST POST from Don – Christmas on Blurry Mountain (part 1 of 4)
CHRISTMAS ON BLURRY MOUNTAIN (1 of 4) [Following is almost a love story (in more ways than one) and would be appropriate to read aloud to your children or grandchildren. Driving home from Western North Carolina a month ago on a heavily overcast day the Smoky Mountains did not look smoky, but blurry. We thought it would make …

GUEST POST from Don – Good Shame
SHAME IS “GOOD” I am speaking of ethics, not false shame (shame caused by an abusive partner, for example). We are living in a society which knows no shame. That’s too bad. We should become red-faced about some things. When we tell a lie and are caught, we should feel shame. But that’s not quite enough! We should realize …

GUEST POST from Don: Women in Church Leadership (pt 3 of 3)
WOMEN in CHURCH LEADERSHIP? (Part 3 of 3) BE SILENT “Women should remain silent…” Strangely, the same word is used in the paragraphs just before and after this one. This isn’t the only reference to “be silent” in 1 Corinthians 14. In verse 28 he is referring to the speaking in tongues. He says “If there is no interpreter, the …
