SAFETY: Doing nothing. Debates. "The Prayer." Small World.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!

I’ve been preaching … about how doing nothing is not inherently safer than doing something. You can’t shop for the perfect fire extinguisher forever.

I’ve been reading … debates between brethren over various issues. The “safest route” argument is not a good one for either side.

I’ve been hearing … “The Prayer,” lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager — a beautiful song, but one that asks God for the wrong kind of safety.

I’ve been playing … Small World. If your goal is to lose very little, you’d better be prepared to lose everything.
