Do you ever sit back and say to yourself..."Wow, I miss feeling (fill in the blank). This could be you reminiscing about the happiest time in your life, who you were with and what you were doing; or reflecting on the person you used to be...maybe more fun? Carefree? Unafraid? Or you weren't worried about impressing anybody, you were stubborn, and determined to be who you wanted to be, and do what you truly enjoyed doing. This is what Sherry and Ebony get into in this week’s episode. The seasons of life oftentimes have the effect of changing how we see things, how we think, and how we feel. This change can be good and bad. And while we often talk about the good that comes with the journey of life, today we talk about some of the things we lost along the way and wish to have back. We also talk about: The feeling of freedom and lack of worry Why we shouldn’t internalize everything Why it’s beneficial to sometimes say “No” Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Click here for our "20 Easy Conversation Starters You Can Use Anytime".

They also go into sweet tales of San Diego, the homeland of Collar John David Ricker, and how buildings plus drugs equal a very hard look about the self versus the other. Sorry Bon Mom.

Welcome to Episode 55 of Nooks and Crannies! A Train-Wreck of a Shit Show w/Hot Takes and Existential Chagrin :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Alrighty Folks, what in the name of holy hell was that shit show?!? Looked more like a Train-Wreck to me! Well, lets agree that we both feel pretty bleak afterwards. Matty slid some Violet recordings in the middle to add some levity, the clip at the start was from the first NBC Segment after the debate. Matty sets the tone early with an empathic love-a-thon on Biden and his neuro-degenerative composure under that onslaught. We then gab about the moderation, or lack thereof, and then get into some analysis (that took 1 min, nothing was said!!). We then get into some conspiratorial chatter about Q-Annon and some anti-Semitic spit ballin when it comes to Canada’s own, The Proud Boys ***google with caution folks, they are great at seeming like ‘fun-lovin bros’ which is in reality as pathetic veil shielding their racism and violence*** (Gonna make Evan do a segment on them I hope) Be Well Folks, Peace and Solidarity, Keep up the Good Fights, and as Sue would always say: Aren’t We Lucky?…its tough right now mom and harder than ever to see that I am lucky, but you as always were right. Hope you are enjoying watching vi grow up and I know you are proud of your lil boy. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: No Links this week folks…too Nah Guy.. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: N&C Links All The Episodes https://nooksandcrannies.podbean.com All Our Links in One Place https://linktr.ee/nooksandcrannies Drop us a line: Nooksandcranniespod@gmail.comTweet a little Tweet at Us: https://twitter.com/NooksCrannie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nooksandcranniespodcast Ponder Evan’s Blurry Pictures: https://www.instagram.com/nooks_and_crannies_pod/ Find Nooks and Crannies on Spotify Follow, Rate and Review on Podchaser (please!)

In this episode we discuss...your email questions!From Rich in Wellsboro, PADoes TJ’s hair look the same way when he wakes up as it does when he goes to bed?From Jeremy in Catawissa, PAOn Episode 32, TJ and Joe both proudly recommended shopping at thrift stores, with TJ even going so far as to say that most of his wardrobe came from thrift stores. Several years ago, Tim Challies wrote an article in which he compared people of adequate means picking through thrift stores with the biblical concept of gleaning from Leviticus 19:9-10 (https://www.challies.com/christian-living/the-heart-of-frugality/). Ever since, when I think about shopping at thrift stores, that concept always comes to mind. I would love to hear all of you interact with this notion. Should you be leaving those "great deals" on the rack for those who truly need them? Is there an element of selfishness to abundantly supplying yourself in this way, when you have the means to supply yourself through more standard means? Is this, perhaps, even a way you could shepherd your congregations to help care for the poor in their communities (which is, after all, the intent of the command to leave the edges of the fields unharvested and the vineyard not stripped bare - to make sure those people have a way to supply their needs)?From Denny Dillman in Henryville, INHow do you handle the generosity of a church member? The church member owns an auto repair/sales shop. He determines to provide for your vehicles: tires, batteries, repairs, even crazy discounted auto purchases. Can specific generosity cloud the thinking of the Pastor? Should the Pastor say "No"?Links for our Top Two's:Jonathan Edward's The Life of David BrainerdDevelop a Goal, Vision, or Core Values using the WORDControl Screen TimeGarnier Fructose Pure Finishing PasteCONTACT (give us feedback, topic ideas, or just say hey)Call and leave a message at (570) 724-3741Email: ruralpastorstalk@gmail.comWebsite: http://ruralpastorstalk.buzzsprout.com/SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: http://facebook.com/ruralpastorstalkTwitter: @ruralpastorsLISTENItunesSpotifyStitcherGoogle Play
Summary Do you know why you vote? (Or do you?) Out of obligation? The positive reason of wanting your (well-researched, please) candidate and party to win? Perhaps the negative reason of wanting the other, disliked, candidate or party to win. And what about voting on tax-related issues; are you an automatic “Yes?” or “No?” Links and References Don’t Vote Common Goals Life is Hard Contact Please do reach out with comments or questions.

Most people I know do, but we are a slim majority. In round numbers, there are about 235M people of voting age in the US; 54.9% voted in the Presidential election of 2018; typically fewer vote in so-called “off-year” elections. There are various outreach campaigns designed to increase participation; everything from helping the disabled to vote, to intentionally working to register the “undocumented.” With the sole exception of where the outreach is the only way the voter could have either registered or voted, I am against all outreach efforts. Am I against voting? Of course not. Am I against casual, if-it-is-easy-then-I’ll-do-it voting? Yes. Absolutely. Before I reached the then voting age of 21, I remember hearing newscasts about “absentee” voting. Before mail-in ballots became commonplace, you had to prove that you were ill, out-of-town, etc., before you could qualify for a mailed ballot. There was a fair amount of inconvenience if you wanted to vote and were not able to get to your polling station for a proveable reason. They counted the absentee ballots prior to reporting the news, and reported the count the moment the polls closed. Here was a typical news report, “The absentee ballots have been counted, and 80% of them voted XX. This is not predictive of the final vote, as 80% of the absentee ballots every year vote XX.” And here was another typical election announcement, “We are having bad weather today. This will help the XX party.” The point was clear; XXs were far more willing to overcome obstacles, albeit small ones, in order to vote. They were clearly more motivated. I puzzled about this for years. What did this mean? Did it matter? Over time, I came up with a couple analogies. First. If there were certain inconveniences when it came to getting to school, and further inconveniences when it came to studying in the evening, wouldn’t the students who overcame those issues be much more likely to have mastered their studies--actually know what they are talking about--than the ones who didn’t bother? If you were a teacher and could choose your students, which group would you rather have in your class? Here is a second analogy. You are an employer in a business requiring skilled workers. Do you want workers who had to jump a small hurdle or two to learn about your company, go through an exacting application process and find a way each day--rain or shine--to get to work? Or, would you, as an employer, be okay with applicants who could not have been bothered unless you picked them up, glossed over their qualifications, and made the application process trivial? I want the students who were willing to deal with some inconveniences in order to complete their studies. And I want those same type of motivated employees. And I definitely want those type of voters. No, I do not want to introduce artificial obstacles. I do want fully qualified, well-informed and motivated voters. They will make the best decisions. Note that I did not say they will vote this way or the other; I said they will make the best decisions. Overall, yes, but not always. Even determined voters need to examine why they are motivated. Is it out of a sense of obligation? Is it the positive reason of wanting your well researched and well thought out ...
This week is a very short episode since I am on the road and my Wombat Test Subject is on the other side of the continent.
