Truth can be hard to grasp without humility and a ability to keep digging until it's reduced down.

Just takes a while to recognize the pattern because your logic (or balance, in the case of riding this bike riding) is impeded. Interesting. <br /><br />Also, the video proves we can, indeed, overcome our limitations if we start practicing a new way to consider things or practice thinking (i.e, in this case understanding balance, momentum, force, friction, etc. or even as it all pertains to logical understanding of Christianity, history, archaeology) The right answer is always found in the simplification, not the complication. Our brains are wired to simplify to find understanding, if not truth. ;)Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-13144436219006942852016-02-12T15:59:38.319-07:002016-02-12T15:59:38.319-07:00No reducing fractions?!?!?

If the child knows how to reduce, let him/her reduce. Do not hold them back with the rest if they already possess the skill and understanding! Oh, it's Lent, alright. I had to zip my lip.

It surely wouldn't be the same around here without you. As a Christian we are called to love and will the good of the other. And though we all fail, that is our charge. We're not supposed to hide under a bushel basket. Trust me I'm not the extrovert that everybody thinks I am but I do feel like I have found the pearl of great price and really can't claim any credit based on my actions. Faith is a gift and God is a very generous hound Dog. He works outside of time and never goes away. We are all wired so differently but all seeking some greater understanding. I have no doubt that my understanding of God falls a mile short of the reality and immensity of God. Like a small child's understanding of how a computer works. He just knows it's real. And even understanding that much doesn't stop our hard wired brains from falling back on our perceptions which are so limited. I just saw this video that maybe speaks to our inability to get over our limitations. I immediately thought " this is me trying understand God". Me trying to do one of Nubbys math problems. <br />Thanks again and you're more than welcome to come get sloshed with Margo in San Diego. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188319685568262029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-32201960482136810292016-02-12T09:18:54.470-07:002016-02-12T09:18:54.470-07:00Chris, you appeal to everyone, not just Catholics!...Chris, you appeal to everyone, not just Catholics!

All happiness and peace will drain from your life and you'll be stricken with isolation and loneliness. <br /> Most people are just being curious but some act like they have heard some terrible rumor and must find out if it's true. As if to save you assured disaster before its to late. Since when is having more kids than average considered some dangerous lifestyle choice. Just weird. <br />And thanks for the compliment . I'm clearly more important than my wife. <br /> And Nubby, my wife makes tamales during the holidays and sells them for $. She totally funds all Christmas expenses and then some. Once in while somebody will be horrified at idea of 7 kids/homeschooling and making tamales into the wee hours. Clearly all my fault.

They assume a domination thing all the time, because they assume men are selfish -- ya big jerks! waaaaaaah! :( :( :(<br /><br />It's like the conversations I have when women ask me, all nosy, "Are you gonna have more kids?? Is your husband okay with more kids??" I'm like, "Considering I didn't marry an immature wuss or a vain man, um, yea. He's called, 'selfless'. There's no conflict between us as far as more kids goes because we're not hung up on hotly contested BMW purchase or guys/gals Vegas trips. We get our joy from our family-ya know, smallish people. Strange, I know."<br /><br />And, you're playing your cards wrong, Chris! You got the wifey at home with the kids-- why aren't you making her work, too?! Ya know, 1960's mentality. You dropped the ball on that one.<br /><br />Anyway, considering you've already got Margo pegged for drunk and her plane hasn't even taken off yet, let me and Leila in on the party when you all settle around your gameboard. Skype me, bro! If it works out, I'll catch you guys on videochat- margarita in hand and a copy of Aquinas, to boot. <br /><br />Until next time: You men are all meanies! And I don't need your validation, yet I do! And I don't want your applause, yet I complain when you don't give it to me! And I'm really strong, but I'm whining like a weakling!<br /><br />There, that satisfies the daily requirement, I believe...Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-5775978477777642222016-02-10T12:38:36.184-07:002016-02-10T12:38:36.184-07:00I love reading your comments, Chris!!I love reading your comments, Chris!!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522079509667506536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-60377758088462460372016-02-10T12:26:08.965-07:002016-02-10T12:26:08.965-07:00And Margo , you do realize that the party will lik...And Margo , you do realize that the party will likely consist of adults drinking and playing Apples-to-Apples with a bunch of kids.

Speaking out turn, giving opinions without being asked, wearing shoes and even leaving the house! She asked for her own cell phone and email account recently!! Totally out of control! I need to put lid on all this "I'm important too" business. Perhaps I'll sneak up on her after a dinner date at McDonald's and then get her all liquored up ya know. That'll fixer. <br /> Ok , people are truly whacked with their canned assumptions. I once had a small conversation with somebody about having a bunch of kids and how great it is and how contraception is just not a part of our relationship. Total gift to each other etc etc. they actually then asked " does your wife agree with that"?. Really? I'm like "No, she has no say in the matter, she knows her place"<br /> I mean come on. You immediately assume some kind of domination? She couldn't possibly have a brain and understand exactly what she believes? Who's being sexist now? <br /> The most independent , strong minded, kick-butt world changers I know are moms. Please! And someday Nubby we can do something with a podcast. I have not a minute to spare these days. Of course that is because I have a real life ( unlike my wife). Sheesh!<br />So I recently came to the conclusion that I happened to marry the wisest person I know. Really, I just realized that a while back. <br />The richest man in the world.
