Get back in line sister! W.W.Y.D.I.I.W.A.N.

So our Catholic hospital has nuns. They are for the most part a quiet people. Short and small in stature. They must have some discriminatory prerequisitions to exclude the tall women from becoming nuns. The habits too costly, perhaps? Maybe it saves on health insurance? the tall die earlier you know.

Anyways... I ran into one of the sisters at Office Depot near the hospital. She didn't recognize me. Much like Clark Kent, if I don't have my cape (white doctor coat) on, I transform into a regular person and nobody recognizes me for the superhero Dr. Gilbert. (My magical power is healing... and disimpaction.) Second anyways... She wandered into the checkout line in the "upstream current" and cuts in front of the next person behind me. Though she bought nothing, she usurped the reigns of the line! I looked to the lady who should have been next to see what she would do. Would she call out this nun in habit? The answer... No. I think it must be REALLY hard to get mad at a nun.

What would happen if we gave everybody this much grace and understanding??? Shouldn't we be doing that anyways?
W.W.Y.D.I.I.W.A.N. (What would you do if I were a nun?) We should make bracelets.

Marriage: Cultural Misconception Exposed.

Recently I had a single person ask me if marriage was difficult. I'm not sure I can make a statement that rings true in all and for all marriages.   My experience of marriage has been intertwined with my wife's difficult health problems. Thus my perspective has been colored. Facing life in the midst of these health problems has been the most difficult experience of my life. What I can say about marriage is that I was lied to almost my entire life. God did not invent marriage to "make us happy"... The lie propagated by nearly every facet of American society as a whole. A lie left largely un-refuted by church, or so it seemed to me. "Oh, he makes me so happy!" and then when he doesn't make you happy any longer... "I just don't love him anymore". Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

Bandon Oregon

I first played Bandon Dunes 8 years ago with my college buddies. It was beyond amazing! It was everything one could hope for, just epic! Between the mist, fog, break through sunlight, walks though dunes, pine forest, on the edge of 100’ cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean! It was simply amazing! Since then, I’ve only longed to go bock. Yet, our plans never seemed to gain traction towards  return trip to Bandon. After this 2023 last trip to Jackson Wyoming, I decided to stop waiting on others, and I planned a solo trip to Bandon. Part of being a real fan of golf, I think, involves the enjoyment of golf getting paired with other random golfers. We all share the somewhat of the same love for the game, or we wouldn’t be there. You can talk, but you don’t necessarily have to make conversation. Just talk about the golf, the surroundings, “good shot!” I initially set out for this to be a completely solo trip, just fly out on my own, but my wife ended up having a change of heart and desi
