3:149 – Quiet, Please! #faithbites #faithjourney please Quarantine life has hit a new high or low. My tank is empty. I need a break. Just some quiet. It’s not that anyone is being bad or doing wrong things, just on eggshells right now. I went out to sit on the deck, and my youngest followed me for a snack. I […]
3:148 – Only One Answer I Am Sure Of #faithbites #faithjourney Sure “Dad, when are we going to fix the fence?” “Daddy, when is my toy coming in?” “Honey, what is for dinner tonight?” “Sol, when will you be done with your dissertation?” “When are you going back to work in the office?” The answer for all of these questions […]
3:147 – I would Lay Down My Life For… #faithbites #faithjourneh lay I often hear people say they would give their life to save their kids or a spouse. First responders put their lives on the line everyday. I think it’s admirable to be willing to give your life for someone else. Now, would you give your life for your […]
3:146 – Choose To Say Nothing #faithbites #faithjourney nothing I like to talk and share my opinion. The hardest thing can be to day nothing. I was in a situation where many people were sharing ideas that I disagreed with and was less than factual. I could have corrected them, I could have pulled out facts but that would have […]

3:144 – Try A Different Approach #faithbites #faithjourney approach Tonight my youngest just didn’t want to listen to me. No matter what I said or did, it wasn’t clicking. Then my best friend got the same message across with a completely different approach. You would think as someone who is studying Differentiated Instruction, I would get this. But I fail […]
3:143 – I Vs We #faithbites #faithjourney we As a Libertarian, I believe that I should be able to do anything I want as long as it doesn’t interfer with your right to do whatever you want.

3:141 – If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes #faihbites #faithjourney changes In chemistry and physics, a closed system at rest will stay at rest until something changes. Change the temperature, increase the pressure, add something to the system, and you have a change. The same is true in our life. If we don’t make a change, nothing will change. I found […]
3:140 – What Is Normal? #faithbites #faithjourney normal I hear people saying they want to get back to normal. That this isn’t a good life. If we get back to normal everything will be better.
