Let the rambling begin:
Fixing Mistakes
- I watched part of The Today Show’s interviews with Ray Rice and his wife over the past couple morning.
- They expressed the desire to “get their lives back”.
- As you think about that statement, ask yourself what it would take to “get your life back” after a public and very violent episode of domestic violence.
- It’s unreasonable to think that fixing mistakes can happen quickly. It just can’t.
- Forgiveness? That’s another thing. Forgiveness can happen anytime.
- Trust, on the other hand, take time to be rebuilt.
- An episode like that? Someone is lying to them, or they are lying to themselves, if they think the time frame to regain any form of their life pre-incident is less than years.
Giving Tuesday
- Giving Tuesday is interesting, isn’t it?
- This is the first year I’ve heard of it (presuming it’s the first Tuesday following Black Friday).
- Maybe they should have it the Tuesday BEFORE Black Friday so people might actually have some money to give?
- Also, I hope our attitude about giving isn’t one day a year!
- But as I said about Thanksgiving day itself, if having a focused day helps increase people’s focus on giving, I’m all for it.
