Springhill is growing...haphazardly

  “Springhill is growing: … ‘Haphazardly’   “I’m the Governor” ‘John Dutton’ by Kevin Costner   “Yellowstone”    Costner is without any doubt one of America’s primary leading men, awarded, decorated and highly respected, he has become a voice for conservative value- and that’s a tough voice to carry these days.   There are some things about this show that are worth your while, as a viewer, there isn’t much better writing than Taylor Sheridan, his name is on many shows, his skill in portraying how we are, is remarkable.   That being said, the punches don’t get pulled in this presentation, the language and skin time, aren’t held back, but they aren’t in real life either, are they?   Our culture is challenged these days to try and figure out what we’re going to do with what we have, because in America we have a lot.   Dr. John Sullivan many decades back in seminary put it this way, “America’s problem isn’t with want, we have more than what mos...

       There's always someone who knows it better, isn't there?  But sometimes you decide not to argue with them, don't you?  If you're that person, or know someone like that, then this may be your moment to meet a new writer that you can understand, maybe not agree with, but, understand.     That may be a bit freaky to you, maybe you've read some of my stuff before, and it just wasn't catching?  Too technical, too strange, too hard to get?  Most of the people who do read me say things like that, I just never listened- until- last year.  Last year was one of the weirdest for me, ever, not just because it was coming out of Covid- but also because it was watching the world come our of Covid as well.     We've changed, Covid did change us, we can continue to pretend it didn't, but most people sense that very few things, from the coffee shop to the store to shop, are the same.  Our outlook about how things happen, it has ...

Why we need voices of reason

Image
When someone tells you to shut up,  they're saying three distinct things: 1.  Your opinion isn't one I want to hear. 2.  Your opinion isn't based on what I accept. 3.  My opinion is better so let me say it. There are more reasons, I'm sure you can add some, but...there's that enormous...but; always bear in mind- after we shut up-  we listen with different ears. In Seminary a lady missed class, all the folks knew she'd need the assignment, but everybody was slightly hesitant to volunteer to take it to  her.  She was the wife of the then chief of Police for the city...guess who finally got volunteered? I'll never, ever forget; going to the door with the papers and being greeted by this sweet lady...with two gigantic Rottweillers'.

Experiential Learning

Image
Is it possible that we've caught up to ourselves in technology?  Are computers and computer information systems for small rural American communities becoming out of touch because we who contribute to the feeds from those small towns aren't getting savvy about it?  Consider that no matter where in the world a person is getting their feed, they still learn the same way? Because of it's size this may not work...but..we'll try...if you can see the model...it's circular and it begins and ends with a new situation...which...pretty much...you're in now...as you have questions... drd1201@gmail.com Back to Your God is too Small

Gun Problem, we don't have a gun problem...True...James Chapter 3

What did James know that will help us? If you doubt Christianity as the wave of the future- you haven't seen the future as it may well end up being.  Here's a fact, juvenile crime is on the increase across the board in both rural and metropolitan areas.  Stop momentarily and consider what that fact might mean?  We used to cynically refer to prisons as the "School for the education of higher criminal activities." And we used to say that a rookie could go into that prison, and unfortunately come out knowing how not to get caught.  At least that's what they believed.  Now put those two facts together, that we have a failing system when it comes to crime isn't the fault of those charged to attempt to enforce the law, they share in the failure, as do the parents of young people who end up in crime, as do the communities which know of the crime and do nothing, each has a share in the failure.  The bench, the judge, the incarceration the enormous cost, they a...

James Chapter 2 vv. 18-26

What did James know that will help us There should be no doubt in a modern Christians belief and faith, and note, belief is held here separate from faith, you can believe in Christ, that's a mental event, yet have no faith, which is an exercise of all you are, based upon that belief.  Today's human is approximately 30% smarter overall than they were a century ago.  The average intelligence quotient is approximately 120 some slightly higher some slightly lower, but a century ago 100 was a good average.  Nearly all read, a century ago, very few did.  Nearly all know how to use some form of technology, a century ago that technology did not exist- in fact, for the most part wasn't even dreampt of yet.  What is about to happen, however, to Homo Sapiens, which is what we are, classification wise, whether you believe we are created or not, I happen to believe we are created, but I also believe it is totally possible to understand we are created and hold on to true ...
