Stupid Stuff
I spoke to a friend of mine who said at his Bible study they had concluded President Obama is "evil". "Why on earth did you conclude that?", I said. He could not say...Really? That is a pretty serious charge!
I said, "Can't you disagree (even quite strongly) with someone, and not go so far as that conclusion...that label? Yikes!
I think he has done a great job his first 2 months in office. He is an excellent leader. (Not that what I think matters...but that's what I think...)
I went to the wine store tonight. They have a new wine manager...he gives out wine lessons to all the customers he helps. It just seemed like he was talking way too much given the questions people had...Like..."Does this taste good?" You don't need to know the French wine catagories to answer that question!! He's new, he'll learn, I know, I know...I need to be nice.
I was hoping he would not get around to me... he didn't... :-)
Luke called on Wednesday night to tell me he was moving in with his girl friend, and was not coming home...April Fools!! HAHAHA
I said he was really funny; but late, and was grounded for a week. He said..."WHAT!" April Fools back at cha! LOL
Max "jammed" his elbow...I've never heard of such an injury. However, he can't move the arm hardly at even all after a week. He says he's fine...that's because he does not want to go back to the doctor...we'll see on that one.
Jenny has been great lately...I love the times she is like this; very sweet, and endearing. She went with me to get jelly beans today which she thinks are very important to have around this time of year.
Sydney and I are taking an art class together. (I'm such a good husband.) I'm the only guy in the class. I keep thinking the local news is going to show up to do a story on art classes, and I'll never hear the end of it.
I'll watch some basketball this weekend (NCAA) even though I don't follow any of the teams left. I was talking with a friend today who feels the same way. He concluded there are some games you just have to watch interested or not...lol
Well that's it...I just thought I should post something even if it's kind of stupid...Blah, blah...

We certainly should be able to have dialogue about politics without throwing out these labels. Obama and the Democrats certainly have a different view of how to handle this economy. And, I will say I find myself "labeling" myself "conservative" more than "Republican" these days.
So much wine...so little time.
Your family sounds like a great family. President Reagan liked jelly beans. So, is the art class pottery, finger painting? Inquiring minds want to know.
Good post!
Oops...I was hoping to get back on here and change "stupid"...it's really just "stuff"...
It's a pottery class...Sydney is quite good at it.
I should add that the instructor is a guy to whom you would never dream of saying pottery was girly. He's a big biker looking dude.
:-)
And thanks for reading, and the comment!
re: Obama: we people like our conclusions to be comfortingly simple
Yeah, and in my Rome study I see the same attitudes 200 yrs ago...nothing new under the sun...!
Why is it that it seems that it is the "Christians" who make these stupid simplified comments about leaders they don't like. I am glad that God draws all to himself because there are some who like to put up needless barriers to the gospel - rant, rant, rant :-)
Maybe I should not have noted that it was a Bible study...IDK
