Original Sin?

Image
     My abrupt thinking (I think) on any given day can go something like this.       I tend to think that the the point of the Garden of Eden story has not been to zero in on historical details, but rather to emphasize the enormous impact sin can have on a world.  I tend to think that that's where the emphasis of Original Sin ought to be also.  It's not important what detailed act was done, what word was said, what thought was embraced.  What's important is realizing that once sin is set in motion it continues to impact the world exponentially.  I would venture to say that that first (rhetorically speaking) setting in motion of sin is still effecting the world today, and all the generations of offspring from that "original sin" are, likewise, effecting the world.      I've read stuff about "hamartia," that Greek archery term that means "missing the mark."  Still, I think the emphasis is not the bow, not the arrow,...

Non-tippers take advantage of everyone and ruin everything! It's always lose-lose!

Tips (money paid for service) are a way to keep prices down. Tips are how a customer can pay the person who provided him / her a service. 15 - 20 % is a fair measure that everyone can chip in to help assure that service providers are paid for what they do. Tips lead to win-win business and keep win-win business perpetually rolling. Non-tipping lead to lose-lose business and keep lose-lose business perpetually rolling. Imagine employers paying waiters / waitresses $15 an hour instead of $2.25 (I just picked two amounts)!  How much do you think you'd have to pay to eat at that restaurant?  Seriously! Think about it!  Probably that one ceramic plate of scrambled eggs, grits, bacon, and toast served with metal utensils would cost you well above $10, and that does not include the cost of a beverage served to you in a ceramic / glass container!  So, now you're at $12 just for one person!  Could you afford to feed your family (of say 4) at tha...

It's okay to pray on my behalf. Just don't tell me about it.

     If you want to pray on my behalf, it's okay.  However, please don't tell me that you're doing it, that you've done it, and don't tell me any of the contents of your prayers.        I share information not for the sake of soliciting prayers or empathy.  I share simple to share with whosoever what's going on in my life.  It's all good!       God, I believe, has put all things together to work certain ways, and it's all good.  A certain amount of sodium mixed with a certain amount of chlorine will produce table salt. Change the "certain" amounts, one could get hydrochloric acid.  A certain amount of hydrogen and a certain amount of oxygen can make water.  A different amount could produce hydrogen peroxide.  Within the DNA, changes made help produce different result.  It's the way it was all made and made to work, so it is all good!  It is right!  Even when it looks like somethi...
