31. Strip-Searches, Fast Food, Shocks and Freewill

Celebrating 21 days without complaining, criticizing or gossiping (with a little grace); pondering the incredible story of Louise Ogborn at MacDonalds; remembering the Milgram experiment; highlighting the importance of cherishing your free will.

30. Mathematics, Biology, Fractals and Design

Celebrating a bit of grace in the quest to go 21 days without complaining; exploring the fascinating propositions of fractals and their amazingly efficient usage in nature. (Actually “Cohc” is spelled “Koch”!!!)

29. Polanski, Letterman, Tools and Human Beings

Examining the Roman Polanski affair; examining the David Letterman affair; objecting to the assumption that “men are men”; and learning to treat women as human beings instead of tools

28. Mind Candy, Car Repairs, Doctrine and Love

Admitting to a cold; reviewing a wonderful visit with a missionary; remember a wise repairman; contrasting a weighty theological discussion and the simplicity of living a life of love.
