What’s Wrong with Lucy’s Worldview?
Linus really gets how Lucy emotes (as opposed to reasons). Unfortunately, Linus can’t have a real conversation. It’s practically impossible. There is no firm, reasonable starting place because Lucy will not admit the inconsistencies in her thinking. Her worldview, based on emotion, cannot allow for reasonable honesty. So rather than laugh at her inconsistency and be willing to reevaluate and alter her view, Lucy has to bully, name-call, and shame her friend.
BOTH extremes–Right and Left in our country–operate this way.
My hope is that God will heal our nation–that Lucy & Linus will get tired of the polarization that separates them and find ways to listen to one another. My fear is that it’s too late. Lucy likes bullying and controlling Linus. And Linus won’t give up his freedom to her control.

Dear Readers & New Look for “David’s Place”
Wanted to give all my friends and readers a heads-up.
THEME CHANGE
I want to give you the best and easiest reading experience possible. I’ll be changing the look of my blog-site within the next couple of weeks (perhaps sooner). Don’t want you to be surprised when I do.
I hope you’ll like the new look and feel. Please take the time to comment once the change is made. Love to know what you think.
FOCUS
In addition, I thought it might be good to tell you about my focus here. I know that I’ve somewhat covered it in my ABOUT page, but not many people go to a blogger’s about page.
As someone on a spiritual journey to know God better, I write posts that I would like to read. Sometimes they’re on writing, or perhaps a review of a good book. Sometimes I simply need a laugh and post something humorous. I also post cultural warning signs so that fellow travelers will not be hurt along the path. Because foster care and adoption played a part in my childhood, I also write about that. And occasionally I post a devotional thought or journal entry from my various journals. My “How-to’s” seem to draw the most readers. Well . . . you get it. I intentionally mix it up–writing what I like reading.
CONTENT
Posting on a multiplicity of topics can prove frustrating for someone who’s looking for “a brand.” If you need a brand to subscribe to and follow my blog, check “categories” to filter my posts OR let it be this:
LOVE, LIFE, & ENCOURAGEMENT ALONG THE JOURNEY
I suppose that would be the sum of the parts.
FOLLOW
If anything in that brand appeals to you, then please follow my blog by either the follow button (if you’re on WordPress, signing up for email notifications, or subscribing to my post on Kindle.
COMMENTS
Though it’s not a requirement to read here. I would really appreciate it too if you would take the time to comment too so that we can develop a community. I know you’re busy, but it’s really great when I go to a site and follow discussions. They sometimes enlarge or enhance the author’s post. I’ve been helped by them as well.
THANKS
Well that’s about it. Thanks SO MUCH that you’ve read this far. And thanks for being a valued reader here at “David’s Place.” I appreciate your time and consider it a treasure.
BLESSINGS,
TVtastebuddies: How to Eat Sunflower Seeds
This is a little something that me, Roland, and Floyd decided to produce. We needed some humor in our lives and also wanted to try to learn more about YouTube and video production. So we decided to capitalize on something all three of us have experience with here’s the result:
You may (or may not) want to “Like” TVtastebuddies on Facebook too. Please share with your friends. Can we go viral? Not sure what that means, but guess it means lots of viewers?
John 10:27 – Jesus Still Speaks Today?
No wonder a theology has developed that thinks Jesus doesn’t communicate with us today.

Air Traffic Control Reform
As you know, U.S. Air Traffic Control has been a hot topic in the news recently. We have heard of controllers sleeping in the tower, supervisors working past required limits, and other dangerous practices. That having been said, before we reform U.S. ATC, let’s be grateful it’s not like Scotland’s. (DISCLAIMER: This post is an effort at humor).
