How Many Animals Did You Say?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I’m wondering why I never noticed that before.  How many animals do you think Noah took on the ark?  Bet you said two of each.  I would have before this morning.  I usually read the New Testament, but have recently been delving into Genesis.  I’ve made it through Genesis 9 and have learned several new […]

Speedlacing

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Thanks to one of my readers, I now know how to Speed Lace.  This is a very unique way to lace up your shoes.  It appears that this system was designed for runners, but I see many applications for them.  If your child has a problem learning to tie shoe laces or just won’t put […]

A Bounce In His Steps

Monday, April 28th, 2008

A co-worker came on my unit several weeks ago with a new bounce in his steps and a smile on his face.  He had been in an accident nearly two years ago and still struggling with pain and difficulty walking.  It seemed that more often than not he had to use a crutch to get […]

Go To The Ant

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways, and be wise.  Without having any chief or officer or ruler, it prepares its food in summer, and gathers its sustenance in harvest.  How long will you lie there, O lazybones?  When will you rise from your sleep?  A little sleep, a little slumber, a little […]

It’s In The Bag!

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Since Earth Day was this week, we are going to have links to reusable grocery bags.  I’ve been trying to use them, but need a few more.  No matter how hard I try, I end up coming home with several of the plastic bags.  If you’ve been reading my previous posts, you know that I’m […]

Good Cop, Bad Cop

Friday, April 25th, 2008

  Well, not exactly.  How about good doctor, bad doctor?  I’m not talking about clinical skills.  I’m talking about how the doctor treats his patient as a person.  Two years ago when I was working at a relatively new job I had several high blood pressure readings in a row and decided I should see […]

I’m On an Uninhabited Island. Now What?

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I just ended up on an uninhabited island.  My sail boat was blown off course.  Way off course.  I’m lost.  I’m alone.  My boat crashed and drifted away.  The only thing I managed to salvage was a book that I had in my jacket pocket.  I could only wish that it had been Robinson Crusoe. That’s a book […]

Middle Eastern Mud Slinging

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

There’s a lot of that going on lately.  At least, that’s what it looks like in my shower.  A coworker brought gifts of mud soap back from his holiday in the middle east.  I finally got up the nerve to bathe in my mud.  I opened the package and looked at it for awhile, wondering what […]
