Fixing the World’s Problems

I just finished another Biblical Counseling zoom class.

As the class ended, I gazed at my classmates’ faces and I was so proud of them. Here was a cross section of the Christian world — men, women, young, old, with different ethnicities — who have dedicated several hours each month to learn why and how to fix the human condition. It was already past 9:00 pm, the end of the day, for us at the West coast and (worse) it was midnight already for those on the East coast. Talk about dedication! Some of us are already engaged in counseling broken souls — so great is the need. (Of course, all of this is done under the advice of the teachers). So many have lost their way. We talk about addiction, abuse, depression, divorce, psychological fallacies, trauma, death — all from the perspective of the Bible. Most of us are NOT taking this course to make money. Donations are welcome but not expected. CLICK HERE for the website. 

Do you know anyone needing a therapist? I highly recommend the counselors coming from this institution. Thousands of lives have been helped.  If you want to change lives maybe you should enroll. 

I’m tired. I need to rest.
TGIF people!

Footprints in the Digital Sand

So I’m in New York visiting my grandson and I get this email from Debbie of Moreno Valley wishing me a grand time. I get a call while strolling in the park with the baby … clean air and sunny skies after the other day’s thunderstorm … and I get a call from my aunt in Virginia. She also wishes me a fun time with my grandson.

So I’m wondering, I am in the middle of my secret great escape from the confines of California since the start of the pandemic and here I get calls from people from all over. How did they know my secret get-away? Dang Social media!

I rarely go to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, Bing, Chrome, etc. (you know — the sites that track your every move) but my digital footprint remains because of friends and family that mention me in their posts. Indeed, anything you (or your friends) post will be there forever in the digital sands. I can just imagine a hundred years from now, some nerd with nothing to do will be flipping through a selection of silly lives of people back in 2021 and he will dig my name up. He will laugh at some of the jokes I posted here in my TGIF email blast and then he will read some of my “2 cents” introduction … stop and ponder — just as I am pondering now. And he will say exactly what I am thinking at this very moment; “What the heck am I doing writing this email to thousands of people who I’ve never met … in the middle of my great escape from the confines of California …. in the middle of the pandemic?”

I guess that’s my cue. Sorry for the brevity. I’m in the middle of my vacation. “See you” when I get back. TGIF!
