There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year, he won the award for the best-grown corn. One year, a newspaper reporter interviewed him and discovered the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.
“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
So is with our lives... Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
Cross Purpose is a great program and our church has been supporting them with volunteers and money for years. If even a fraction of the money wasted on government programs was funneled into them, the world would be a much better place.

Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.
@ned I remember thinking that the space sets were very well done. Was this the one with the gondola scene where Jaws finds a girlfriend lol?
One of my best friends proposed to his girlfriend this weekend and she said, "Yes!". Wishing them many years of happiness together!
Ok, we finally got around to getting in the “snow den” it’s like 70F today 😂.
@chiasm I don’t think it’s an insecurity or narcissistic thing but, yeah, I occasionally look through my posts and it’s like checking yourself in the mirror. Totally a good thing to want first impressions to be good and accurate. I also find that my perception of time can be really off, such as when I thought I made a specific post.
@ned I briefly looked into opening a bowling alley…not very profitable and nigh impossible to keep the doors open. The beer is probably their only saving grace.
@ruenoak I haven't used it in a bit. I really liked most of Gemini's philosophy and haven't completely given up on it. The TLS requirement always bugged me and makes setup harder. Server hardware has to be beefier to deal with it too. Gemtext could have been markdown instead of creating yet another flavor of markup. Modern browsers are a nightmare of complexity, but requiring a new one to view Gemini is a hurdle. Something like XHTML solves a lot of the same problems.
@sirjerrykhurl Nice, I’ve painted some stuff in there.
A couple of weeks of solitude in nature, working on some projects, would be nice. Why does that seem so impossible?
@julian What game is that?
Update: Our sitter was thankfully not having a heart attack, but other than a potassium deficiency, they’re not sure what’s going on. We’re glad she went in anyways. They say that death is the first symptom for around 1/3rd of people with heart problems. They can’t really ask those folks, but I suspect that a lot of them just brush off pain hoping it will go away.
It was the supposed to be date night, but the sitter (22) told us that she couldn’t make it because she was going to the hospital because she thought she might be having a heart attack! Please keep her in your prayers. I took the family out to dinner and then the car broke down afterwards…It was actually a beautiful afternoon for car trouble. Glad I was there and that we have hospitals, tow trucks, and Ubers.🙂
