Nursing homes really make you think

i wondered what the tree looked like from the trunk up.

Remarkably similar.

 

Nursing homes really make you think.

What do we envision our final years being comprised of?

No one really plans on a nursing home.

But if that’s the hand we’re dealt, how would we respond to daily life, knowing this was the final home for us – never would there be any other option.

Of course, Hospice is probable, but you would most likely remain in the nursing home.

i love feeling uncomfortable with thoughts like these.

The best time to concern ourselves with stuff like this is when we don’t need to be.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Living in the land of freedom of choice

American Flag
Yesterday at Florida Hospital Orlando.

 

When the High School Principal’s message arrived, the High Schooler was upset for being accused wrongly.

And so it goes.

Some parents remained relaxed and defaulted to, “It’s probably a mistake.”

In the same way we’d want to be given the benefit of the doubt, it would be wise to also extend it as a first choice response.

i knew the Pastor could use something to feed on

After the sermon, our son (16) and i waited our turn at the end of the line to talk to the Pastor.

Finally, it was our turn…

“We sat in the last row, as a compromise between our son not wanting to come and me wanting to be in the front row.”

Shared that a week ago, in the same row, we didn’t feel anything (bored, truth be told), but today we felt passion. With no offense or judgement to last week’s sermon (different Pastor).

i told Matt there were probably many who felt as i did but they probably take for granted that “Matt knows this” and never say a word.

“i just wanted to feed you.”

He was there to feed us. Yet there are no rules saying we can’t bring a meal ourselves to share.

Which would a Marketer use to attract “believers”?

WPS 2016 Boys cross country
Can you picture “believers” (whatever that means) racing to get closer?

 

At last Sunday’s service (at LifeBridge) the preacher read, “Demands of loyalty and obedience”.

And i immediately thought what about demands for generosity, forgiveness, non-judgement, compassion?

Which would a Marketer use to attract “believers”?

David was a narcissist

Notes from Memorial
A note describing a High School teacher who died unexpectedly two weeks ago.

 

David was a narcissist.

He did not go up against Goliath to die.

He must have been full of himself to think he was better at battle than Goliath.
