Speaking Of Slavery…

January 17, 2013, by Zack 1 comment

There’s been a lot of talk about modern-day slavery – or “human trafficking” – lately.

The awesome folks over at Passion have put a lot of time and effort into raising awareness and helping point to resources like EndItMovement.com

When I read that right now – right this minute – there are 27 MILLION slaves in the world… well, my brain just kind of retreats at the thought.

Considering my mortgage and the fact that I have three kids under 5 years old – my net worth is basically zero dollars. Am I just going to drop everything and fly to Thailand and go Jack Bauer in a brothel?

And then I visit a website like www.slaveryfootprint.org, which tells me that based on the size of my house and household and the age of my children and the items I own and the things that I typically eat and buy – based on my fairly “normal” “American” lifestyle…

There are about 100 slaves who contributed to my day-to-day life…

Running Teaches You…

August 23, 2012, by Zack No comments yet

Running teaches you that there’s a difference between working hard and feeling bad.

How many television commercials talk about “making life easier”?
If everything you knew about life came from TV, your goal would be to live the easiest, most comfortable and unchallenging life you possibly could. You would believe that the only good feelings are sensual pleasures such as the taste of a good soft drink and the fun of driving an expensive car and lying on the beach.

Absolutely Guaranteed To Make You Smile

Seriously: does anything make you as happy as trains apparently make this guy?

Why the heck not?

What Does Chick-Fil-A Stand For?

August 1, 2012, by Zack No comments yet

I know this is an unwinnable conversation.

Discussing homosexuality is like talking to a momma about her newborn baby: it could be a squirrel with a pacifier, but you’re a monster if you call it anything but beautiful.

The ‘tolerance’ emperor is naked, but anybody who points that out is being ‘intolerant’, so it’s an impossible discussion.

Millions of people will fill their cars with gasoline purchased from dictators who oppress their people and murder homosexuals and drive to the ‘kiss-in’ later this week to protest HOW a man chooses to be generous.

The hypocrisy of it is almost funny.

You found the blog home of two big kids (that would be the parents) and four little ones.

This blog has changed quite a bit over the years. There was a time that I posted almost every morning as part of my routine. But that was several kids and several years ago.

These days, the posts are a lot more rare, but hopefully more substantial. And all those posts from the past are still here in the archives.

Feel free to have a look around...

 Happy Monday! Hoping your day is filled with lovely things and beauty!  Ever since I was in high school I would always say “I love you more”. It kind of was the last thing I would say to people. I shared this with a dear girlfriend and she said “I love you equal”. My heart loves that! I still say I love you more because...i just do. :) #bitsaboutme
