What do we do?
I’ve been reading the book of Micah, and the descriptions of the evil and injustice is almost overwhelming. (Seriously, Micah compares the injustices to cannibalism. The leaders are eating their own people by their oppression. It’s… intense.) In the face of all that evil — evil that will ultimately lead to the exile of the entire […]

Being Shrek
Fun fact: while wild sheep shed their wool annually, domesticated sheep bred for wool don’t; the wool just keeps growing. Like so: This is Shrek, a sheep who so hated being sheared that he hid for six years. When he was finally sheared, he had produced enough wool for 20 men’s suits. Doesn’t that look […]

An appeal to my fellow introverts
Nothing. I mean everything. I mean, given the right medium, introverts won’t shut up. Don’t believe me? Exhibit A. (That’s a link to Buzzfeed, so if you have moral qualms with click-baity content thieves, you’ve been warned.) We have memes: And cartoons to explain us.

Perspectacles
This post on perspective is one of my favorite things I read last year, partially because it has so much wisdom and partially because the setting is a less-than gourmet kitchen, and I have kitchen issues: “But as I lay down to sleep, I remembered this passage from Thoreau’s Walden: “I say beware of all […]

Not bad advice
One of the landmines parents have to walk through is teaching their kids not to tattle, but to always tell if someone is hurting themselves or others or going to do something that will end really badly for them. While my experience is that all kids will tattle occasionally, some kids are just natural tattlers. […]

Teaching my kids to fail
This weekend I listened to a Freakanomics podcast on embracing failure or even the potential to fail. One of the stories they told was the explosion of the Challenger.
