When Things Go Wrong

"A 2018 Lexus is better than 1964 Camaro because every single part in the car fits together dramatically better.

Tolerance vs. resilience, which one wins out?

If you don't work to make it happen, what will you do when it doesn’t work?"

I confess I don't know much about Lexus or Camaro, or even cars in general, other than what they look like. Old Fuzzy is the automobile expert in our family. We have some sons who come real close, but Old Fuzzy is still pretty sharp.

I had many ideas for projects when we began homeschooling the kids. Old Fuzzy reported to his dad one day, 'Donevy's got a new source of revenue planned.'

He was making a funny reference to the project I wanted to do with 'gasohol'. I had plans for a mini-still, and had gathered equipment together...

Many things have happened since those beginning years, but my gasohol still never came into being. Sadly, especially since the price of fuel has skyrocketed.

The term 'roll with the punches' may be a cliche', but cliche's come about for a reason. Taking what we're dealt and doing the best we can...

Resilience is what happens when we’re able to move forward even when things don’t fit together the way we expect.

I've gone through plan A and so forth until I think I must be at the end of the alphabet, but I'm still going. Does a person ever go back and start at plan A a second time?

2 Thessalonians 2:1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2) to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;"
