The Real Public Service
Every year about this time, big-government liberals stand up in front of college commencement crowds across the country and urge the graduates to do the noblest thing possible-- become big-government liberals.

Parents on “World’s Strictest Parents” are required to write a heartfelt letter to their child. The child reads the letter near the end of the stay with the host family. Typically a child says something like, “They never told me how they really felt.” Some children say they had no idea that their parents were hurt by their behavior.

Jesus destroys our illusions with the truth.
It is said that there is a sign hung over a door in one of the 19th century concert halls in Germany that read “In case of Brahms, make for the nearest exit.” When truth dawns upon us, we might feel like doing the same thing! Much of the time, Jesus said, the truth is a sword ripping at us. The good news is that it is pain that will not damage us but grow us.

Time to remember Dad
Sunday is Father’s Day, and despite the fact that there’s been lots of material written about fathers over the years, I think that perhaps one can never say too much about the guys. From the very beginning, with most of us, they’ve held a position of extreme importance.

Southern cooking -- a real gift
Author Julia Reed once wrote, tongue in cheek: “If you ask a Southerner to name the best meal he ever ate, he will invariably recall something that his mama or grandmamma fixed at home. If you ask a Yankee, he will invariably name a four-star, impossible-to-get-into restaurant, and usually not even mention the actual food.”
That’s why Southern cookbooks are in such demand.

Have you ever had a standoff with your child? You know—the place where there will be a winner and a loser? Many times I have witnessed the standoff on CMT’s show World’s Strictest Parents. Most teens arrive at their home-for-a-week believing they are in charge. More often than not, usually fairly quickly, the teen finds out who the real boss is. The majority of troubled youngsters self-report having caregivers who don’t take charge. I’ve repeatedly heard parents on the show say things like, “I try to get him to do what I say. He just will not listen.”

One of the hardest things about growing older seems to be remembering stuff. I don’t mean remembering things that happened forty years ago. Those days, except for a few incidental details, still seem to come in loud and clear. I mean things such as your best friend’s name or what you were supposed to do at ten o’clock today.
I was taking a friend to the airport recently, and we got to talking about other airport trips we had made, segueing from there to things we had forgotten to take with us on trips and then to other tales about forgetfulness.
