NUTSHELLS

Longtime attache:  Mr. Fields, why are you studying the bible at this late date?

W.C. Fields: I’m looking for loopholes.

Next  “click” on the age meter is 84.  Still Looking!  Last effort is from 12 RULES FOR LIFE (An Antidote to Chaos )  by Jordan Peterson. Chapter 7 is entitled “Chose What is Meaningful not Expedient.” Not simple reading or easy to “nutshell”.

The chapter concludes on page 201:  Meaning is the Way, the path of life more abundant, the place you live when you are guided by Love and speaking Truth and when nothing you want or could possibly want takes precedence over precisely that.   Do what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

We required an “Exit Interview” for all teachers at Atlantic Christian College.   I asked one question of Clifton Black, our first black basketball player.   He was from a rural Eastern North Carolina town.

“How did you do so well athletically, socially and academically?”
“Coach, when I left Conetoe (home village) my Grandmother said, ‘Clifton Earl, you know the difference between right and wrong.   Do right!’ That’s about it.”
