What’s our obligation to live up to our reputation?

Best steak you'll ever eat in Miamni
One of the best steaks any of us have ever eaten – it lived up to it’s reputation (don’t we all)

 

Just last night, overheard a 60-year old at a nearby restaurant table talking about going to Mass everyday, and as if those that don’t, aren’t real believers.

Interest duly peaked. Ears listening in and out of his conversation, and the one at our table.

As he had a few more drinks, he began talking like a pirate, cursing, bad mouthing – yet having a glorious time.

No judging, yet surely taking notice and contemplating it all.

Three small reasons prompted a small change – a metaphor for life

First paid haircut in 30 years. Prior to that Cheryl cut it.

 

Three things prompted a paid haircut, in chronological order:

  1. Assigned to provide two keynote speeches for a global hair cut franchise
  2. Wanted to see if a brief break from this chore would benefit Cheryl
  3. It was scary because it had been done consistently by the same person for 30 years

The avatar photo was a random coincidence because the photo was taken so that when the next person asked how would you like your hair cut, we could simply use the photo to say, “Like this”.

Been getting a haircut at the establishment ever since – five years and counting.

Once this happens, there is no known cure

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. – Dorothy Parker

Religion, if we dare even call it that, can easily become boring.

Curiosity can cure that.

But once we actually experience holding Jesus’ hand, there is nothing that can cure that.

Take that, devil.
