BOM
Privilege is the idea that you have received or been granted something for which you put no effort into. This can be manifested in a lot of ways. The upbringing you had, the job you work, your race and many other areas of life. I’ve been contemplating privilege in many ways over the past couple of weeks.

I saw a video on privilege where a teach offered some kids $100 to the person who ran the fastest across a field. He handicapped those without privilege first. Look it up on YouTube. It’s an interesting watch.

I saw it played out in last nights episode of the Crown where Michael Fagan not once, but twice broke into Buckingham Palace and went the to the Queens room. He was down on his luck and the scene portrayed a kind of privilege where the queen has and Fagan did not.

I also heard it in this weeks F3 Podcast with Steam and Crawdad. Crawdad admitted his first job in DC was not because he wasn’t necessarily qualified but he knew somebody. I can relate to that in my first job.

Where does privilege hit you?

11 PAX, which fit perfectly with today’s theme and was completely unplanned

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I had two experiences this weekend that brought me face to face with my arch-nemesis, Time.

On Saturday, I picked up my 1993 Mustang 5.0 that I bought brand new at 16 that I hadn’t driven since 2001.  After 19 years in a garage (including about two years of getting tuned up and detailed), she drove just the same as she did when I was 16 or when I last drove her in 2001.  It was as if those 19 years that she sat in the garage hadn’t passed at all.  With one turn of the ignition, I was 16 again.  Take that, Time.

On Sunday, my oldest child went through his confirmation service at church.  Just like that, 13 years were gone in the blink of an eye, and I was 43 again.  You suck, Time.

As they say, Time is undefeated.

Here is my favorite advice for/description of parenthood: “The days are long, but the years are short.”

Fact: Time does not stop and goes by too fast.

Fact: You will have regrets, no matter how much you try to avoid them.

Here is one of my personal mottos: “If you’re happy with where you are, then you can’t complain about how you got there.”

If you are not happy with where you are, then make a change.

2 Peter 3:8 – But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

So, Time is not undefeated after all.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife and people who are struggling with addiction, depression, and other problems, especially in these times
