American Flag in Gold’s Gym parking lot, yesterday.
Spent a few minutes talking with those guys about their flag hanging from their truck
Today is Saturday of the 2015 Memorial Day weekend. Yesterday (Friday) walking to my car after a Gold’s Gym workout, a pickup truck pulls in next to me.
Approached the driver asking about the flag. Thanked him for his American pride.
God bless America.
God bless everyone who actively supports and enlists because of the notion that freedom and justice are worth dying for.
Two days ago at Tibet Butler Preserve. iPhone cameras are good, but not great.
The things we can be grateful for often come from unexpected sources and sort of blindside us at first.
The marketing person’s email review and ‘bold’ website critique yesterday was exceptionally helpful.
It was a nice prompt to rewrite a few things at www.jeffnoel.com
That rewrite inspired the same at the other four blogs.
What was awkward was the timing. Her helpful critique was the result of her ‘fishing for business’. Betting she thought i wouldn’t notice her ulterior motive. No harm no foul, business is business – unless the customer (me in this case) reads right through it.
Often, the source of wisdom can make or break our personal believability. For instance, from Luke:
No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37) And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38) But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39) And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.
Makes total sense because fermentation creates pressure. And anyone who’s ever enjoyed aged wine understands the second part.
Teaching our son about parables – stories that illustrate an important and wise concept.
A concept that is applicable to every aspect of life.
