​

2017-03-02 THURSDAY PNT ENGLISH CLASS TALK FAMILY AND BEER
.

BEER MAKES US INTO CHILDREN. AS FAMILY TRADITIONS DECLINE, SUBSTITUTION IS ACQUIRED FROM FRIENDS. WE START TO DEVELOP GOOD AND BAD HABITS FROM FRIENDS. OUR FRIENDS BECOME OUR FAMILY WHEN OUR FAMILY IS NOT OUR FAMILY.
.

WHY DO PEOPLE DRINK, SMOKE, GET HIGH, GIVE INTO PEER PRESSURE, CULTURE, SOCIAL NORMS? BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE NORMAL, TO FIT IN, TO BE LOVED, LIKED, NOT BULLIED, ABUSED, TEASED.
.
I TALKED ABOUT MY LIFE. I TALKED ABOUT WHEN I DRANK, SMOKED, LIVED. I TALKED ABOUT MY BROTHER IN COLLEGE, AT WORK, IN MINISTRY, WHILE HOMELESS, AS HE GOT MARRIED, AS HE LEARNED, AS A MAN SCAMMED HIM, AS BAD THINGS HAPPENED, AS HE RECOVERED, AS HE MARRIED INTO A BIG FAMILY. HIS OLDER WIFE ALREADY HAS GRANDKIDS. MY SISTERS RECOVERED FROM DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTIONS.
.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIGH TABLE, THE COUNTER. WE CAN STAND TO TALK AND WE CAN DRINK COFFEE WHILE WORKING ON A HIGH COUNTER TOP. IT IS LIKE A DESK OR SHELF. IT MIGHT BE FLEXIBLE LIKE A TREE. THAT CAN BE GOOD IF IT KEEPS THE TABLE FROM BREAKING FROM TOO MUCH PRESSURE AND WEIGHT AND FORCE AND PAIN AND FRICTION.

FAMILY VALUES AND HABITS AND TRADITIONS CAN BE ANCIENT AND OLD AND IT CAN HELP US ALL IN SO MANY WAYS
.

FAMILIES ARE BETTER WHEN THEY ARE TOGETHER
.

FAMILIES SHOULD COME TOGETHER SOMETIMES OR AS OFTEN AS THEY CAN TO SHARE STORIES, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, DOCUMENTS, WILLS, GENEALOGY, FAMILY TREES, MEDICAL RECORDS, ADVICE, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, JOKES, HISTORY, FACTS, GOALS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SURVIVAL PLANS
.

IN CASE OF DISASTERS, WARS, OR OTHER THINGS, IT IS BETTER FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO RUN AWAY TO A BIG HOUSE OR CASTLE OR HIDEOUT OR FORTRESS OR HOLE OR CABIN OR SOMETHING THAT IS SECRET OR FAR AWAY
.

MAYBE A GRANDPA OR UNCLE OR SOMEBODY IN THE EXTENDED FAMILY HAS A BIGGER HOUSE AND MAYBE FAMILIES CAN HAVE REUNIONS THERE
.

I KNOW SOME FAMILIES ARE STRONGER AND BETTER AND SAFER BECAUSE THEY KEEP IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER
.

I ENCOURAGE MORE FAMILIES TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND TO TALK ABOUT SURVIVAL STRATEGIES AND EVERYTHING ELSE TOO
.

STRONGER FAMILIES CREATE STRONGER SOCIETIES AND COUNTRIES
