March 31, 2013

Last week, millions of people commemorated the death of Jesus Christ on Nisan 14, the true anniversary of his death, focusing on the significance of that sacrifice. This weekend, billions more used eggs (dyed or candied) and rabbits (real or chocolate) to honor a pagan fertility ritual, and some of them don't know it. Even worse, some do know, but don't care.

Beware people who offer to do your thinking for you. If you can learn for yourself, you can think for yourself. And you're the one who faces the consequences of your decisions.

A bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of Hostess products, which means Twinkies, HoHos, DingDongs and Zingers will be back on store shelves in time for summer. I haven't had a Twinkie in years, but for some reason, I'm still happy.

Domino's new ad campaign says their focus is no longer on delivering pizza fast. Why should I care? They've never delivered to my neighborhood anyway. But that's okay; haven't you heard? Twinkies will be back by summer!

Sometimes you can deal with today's reality better when you remember that yesterday's reality wasn't ideal either.

A recent USA Today study suggests that middle school romances increase the probability of lower grades, dropping out of school, and abuse of alcohol and/or drugs. So, anyone who didn't date in middle school, but still got poor grades, dropped out, or became substance abusers, can take comfort in being less of a statistic. Congratulations.

There's something admirable about not wanting to give up on someone... but beating your head against a wall can give you a nasty headache.

Remember the Genesis account? All of mankind's troubles began because of a lie. And I've never seen the color of a lie.

Still hate autocorrect; to the person I tweeted earlier, no, I don't think you're a foul.

Does it blow your mind that, to the One whose assessment of us matters the most, none of us is insignificant?
