A few topics and a few thoughts. Welcome to Tuesday rambling.
Snow Days
- I guess I’m at a loss for why some parents seem so upset about the snow days. Does it mean extra effort to find care for them, or extra time when they’re at home?
- Well, yes. I was unaware caring for kids when things came up would be such a surprise.
- Maybe extra time with your kids could be a good thing?
- I understand the frustration as I like routine as much as anyone, but we have to flexible and our kids (or school administrators making tough decisions) shouldn’t be a scapegoat for interfering with our plans.
Super Bowl
- I really am rooting for a good game. I’d be fine with either team winning.
- No, I don’t hate Richard Sherman. He’s an example of what’s wrong with our culture – how we like to zero in on someone’s mistake. The headlines were much bigger for what he did than for when he apologized.
- Are there any spiritual lessons that can be taught regarding the Super Bowl?
- Prediction: Denver 28, Seattle 26
Economy
- I randomly heard this thought on the radio. America needs more job creators than job seekers.
- What would it take for average people to come together and create a couple of jobs?
- Is thinking up an idea or pooling financial resource to employ someone else a way of loving your neighbor?
- I really don’t have any plans here. I’m just thinking out loud. Maybe it will make you think too.
Sermon Quote:
- I preached last Sunday on Psalm 51. It’s a great Psalm and it shows us much about God’s character.
- As part of the sermon I challenged the Christian’s response to repentance. What I mean is this: when we see someone responding to God working, turning away from sin and repenting, what is our reaction?
- The summary God laid on my heart went something like this: “Repenting of sin before God doesn’t show there’s something wrong with you. It means there’s something right with you.”
