FACES OF GOD In Genesis 32:22-32 we have the story of Jacob wrestling with God. He, alone in the wilderness, wrestled with him until the break of day. I won’t tell the whole story here (you can read it for yourself). But Jacob would not let go of God unless God blessed him. So Jacob received a new name. “…Israel, for …

GUEST POST from Don – The Price of Tech
The PRICE of TECH Of course, with a vengeance the media is covering the struggle some families are experiencing with grocery prices. This, in spite of the fact that 3-4% inflation is well within the normal range. Of course, with a vengeance the media is covering the decision to drop the special COVID-induced support for Obamacare. It …

GUEST POST from Don – Tattoo It
TATTOO IT I just read the most sensible thing in ages about practical tattoos. Of course you’ve heard of people who have tattooed permanent eyebrows in the correct location just above their eyes. That’s smart. Of course, never do it while drunk in Jamaica or you may end up with tattoos which turn green over time (green …

GUEST POST from Don – Naming Your Child
NAMING YOUR CHILD First, let’s be clear. If you are old enough to father or mother a child you should be old enough to be grown up when naming said child. We’ve all known someone who got the short stick when it came to names. This isn’t funny for them. Some, when they turn 18 have it changed. “Stupid” …

They not only create systems which are biased against old people, they are intentional and purposeful in placing BLAME on those Baby Boomers who had no choice when and to whom they were born. Blame for …

GUEST POST from Don – Pope and Peasant
“Sa più el Papa e un contadin che el Papa solo.” A local Italian proverb, translated: “The Pope and a peasant know more than the Pope alone.” Wisdom can come from collaboration (the Pope and the peasant). It also can come from independent thinking. The advantage of collaboration is that mistaken judgments can be moderated or avoided. The …

GUEST POST from Don – Taking The Keys?
TAKING THE CAR KEYS? As parents of teens we have ADULT decisions to make about when to gift them with a key (or fob) to the car. Believe me, this should be done with great deliberation. “Is my son/daughter mature enough? Is he/she thoughtful and careful? Does he/she KNOW how to handle speed, steering, and following distances when its …

GUEST POST from Don – Planning for Single
PART 1: PLANNING FOR SINGLE: + If you’re young and considering a situationship you need to plan for what happens AFTER that. Sure, it is possible it will work out well (less than 30% of the time), but reality usually comes with a slap after situationships. Whether in 2 months or 16 months, something nasty …
