THE BED OF PROCRUSTES
From Amazon:
The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery.
From Me:
Insightful
Entertaining
Overstated
Lots to ponder
Some to dismiss
Glad I read
OIL WELL NOT ORWELL!
We spent several days last week visiting with friends from Brenham Bible Church. This is the church I preached at from 2010-13.
During a break between visits, Doreen and I went to Starbucks to read. I met a man there from New Orleans with a thick accent. He was curious about about the books I write.
During our conversation he said he “liked to read about oil wells.” I thought he said Orwell so I enthusiastically replied how much I “loved Orwell.”
He laughed and said my confusion was due to his heavy accent.

McDonald’s! Really?
Another reason I part company with the Trumpster. When it comes to hamburgers there is no doubt that Burger King, P.Terry’s, and In-N-Out are so much better. HT: Babylon Bee

EXPRESSING EMOTIONS CAN BE TRICKY!
I was speaking about expressing proper emotions during my sermon last Sunday. This classic sketch was part of my introduction. I should add that this was one of those very rare times that I used a video clip to introduce my sermon. It was simply too apropos to leave out!
