Fun with Movie Maker

Someone asked me today if I thought I was one of the 'good singers' at karaoke and if I would sing to him if he called me (uh...NO)...I figured I'd let him decide if I was a good singer or not since that's a matter of opinion. So I created the following video just for kicks using a track I recorded a few years ago at my friend's studio. I originally planned to use random photos from my collection just to have something to look at while the song played. But of course, I got carried away and invested a few hours into improvising something that had meaning. This is the result. Thanks, Chuck for being the catalyst! LOL!

Alan Alda's seven quick questions

I enjoy listening to Alan Alda's podcast 'Clear and Vivid' . At the end of every episode he asks his guest seven quick questions. Here are my answers: 1. What do you wish you really understood? Why the universe was created in such a way that violent death or death, in general, was required for the sustenance of its living creatures. The food chain - I'm not a fan.... 2. How do you tell someone they got their facts wrong? Generally, if I am having an actual discussion with someone (that is usually not in a FB comment thread) I will ask questions about sources where the person got their information in case I missed something or to decide if the sources are quality. I will present what I understand to be true and why. 3. What is the strangest question anyone has ever asked you? It was more stupid/rude than strange, but someone once asked me why I was here if I didn't want to have children...As if the sole purpose of my existence is to breed. 4. How do you...

10 Things I've Learned about navigating information overload

  This is what I have learned over many years in the age of information overload. I never would have believed that we'd be here where the conspiracies of QAnon are being increasingly accepted by usually reasonable people... 1. Check sources of every article you see come through your feed, know their slant...(for instance, The Atlantic has a center-left bias but high factual reporting. Knowing this, I know to look for corroborating information from sources with little bias - such as newswires, or even a center-right commentary for a different perspective). 2. Avoid questionable sources and extremely biased sources (even if the lean is in your preferred direction) - those don't want you to think critically or think for yourself and usually don't provide sourcing - or if they do, it's other questionable sources and hearsay. These outlets count on human laziness and human tendency toward confirmation bias. 3. If you see a Twitter thread that sounds like the person is kn...

Why Good People Stay

The question was: Why do parents not protect their children from a place that hurts people in the name of Jesus?  My response:  Because they didn't see it anymore than any of us did who stayed in it for so long. The messages are usually very subtle. We get into the 'good stuff' like the music and the prayer ministries and charity work -  All of that on the surface seems positive and wonderful for the world. Our friends are there, we feel like we have a purpose...We are taught that this is the way, the truth, the life. Unless you dig deeper or begin to work on/with leadership and hear the closed door discussions, you don't realize the under belly. And even then cognitive dissonance kicks in...So when the cracks start to appear, you try and push the questions aside and think 'well, some of that is just on the fringe. Most evangelicals just want to help people' and you make excuses. When the cracks get bigger you try to stick around to change it from the inside.......
