Summer is almost a third over. I'm already behind on everything I need to do at work and everything I wanted to do around the house. I really should go fishing ;-)
What's been going on lately? The big scandal at Baylor over Title IX violations. Sad stuff all over the place. I hurt for the victims. I'm embarrassed that it happened at my school. I want to trust that the regents did the right thing. The problem is that we'll never know. Maybe they did. But, maybe Art Briles really was a scapegoat. We'll never know because they won't release any specific information. That just doesn't seem right to me.
Then there was the gorilla that got killed at a zoo in Ohio. Hard to believe how much insanity there was over that. Some people actually placed equal value on the gorilla. What has our culture come to?
Of course, things are not as bad as the conservative talk shows want us to believe. Because God is alive there is still beauty and joy in life. I'm so thankful for Kris and my "babies". I'm thankful for air conditioning. I'm thankful for good food. I'm thankful for the freedom to study the Bible with teenagers in a couple of hours. What are you thankful for today?
