An Incredibly Timely Article from Stephen Guise-Curiosity

I loved this article. Here’s a brief excerpt: “If you wanted, you could make life seem bland. All you’d have to do is stop being curious. Stop wondering how couches are made, why wind exists, how someone would react if you told them you’re a penguin. Of course, if you wanted to make your life exciting and interesting, you’d do the opposite. You’d wonder endlessly. You’d always be curious. Curiosity is one of the few things that’s a simple yes/no choice. Nobody can stop you from being curious. It doesn’t take much effort to be curious. And yet, being curious is intensely rewarding.”


This is a Must Read Article if You Have Teenage Children or Grandchildren: How Anxiety Affects Teenagers

America is on the front edge of a tsunami-sized crisis with our children and our adolescent learners. If you are a parent or a grandparent, I urge you to read this article. Here is a brief excerpt: “There is substantial evidence that the pandemic has increased the number of adolescents (and even some pre-adolescents) who are anxious. It’s no wonder, given that Covid lockdowns and distancing robbed teenagers of many of the activities they care about most, disrupted their education, and isolated them from their friends.”


A Netflix Show that was So Good and Odd: HEIST; The Bourbon King

Jenny and I recently visited Kentucky and had such a great time with her family in Owensboro. While there, we heard the story of the Great Pappy VanWinkle Heist. After watching the show and seeing some of the same country we had just visited, it was so much fun. The story, a true story is fascinating!


A Powerful Quote from Henry Blackaby

“Stay faithful to the last word you heard from God but open to the next.” “For you to do the will of God, you must adjust your life to him, his purposes, and his ways.”
