Daily Prompt: Culture

Culture is defined as the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.. It is also defined biologically as the cultivation of bacteria, tissue cells, etc., in an artificial medium containing nutrients.

So if you think about it culture is a collection of various things that sustain life in a community and in a person. Without culture life is not as rich, rewarding, interesting and healthy. We need culture of all types to make the world a better place. Culture is expressed differently around the world and that is what makes life more interesting and diverse. There are many things of culture that feed our bodies and feed our souls. Every part of life is dependent upon one form of culture or another. Multicultural life means that we recognize the rich heritage of people of all walks of life. No two people are the same and perhaps that is a good thing.

Celebrate culture in all it’s expressions today and always.

Chattanooga Has Needed Rain, Badly! #chawx #chattanooga #weather

Chattanooga has faced a drought for months. We are getting some serious rain that will help us recover from the dry spell. I am very glad the weather is changing for the better.

The Genuine Articles

Every blog I post, every tweet I post, every status update I put on Facebook comes from me and in the most genuine way. What you see here and there is what you get. My life, my opinions, my crazy stuff all comes from my heart and head. Now I don’t reveal everything because everyone has the right and privilege of some privacy. Connecting with like-minded people is a great thing and can make this social thing even more fun. I encourage genuine dialogue and genuine posts because it tells the story about unique people who are trying to figure out this crazy world we live in. My friends lets strive to be the genuine articles.

The Season Of Advent Begins Today

Today begins the Season Of Advent. It’s a time to prepare for the coming of the Christ child. Before Christmas it’s good to center one’s self spiritually and to focus on peace, hope and love. Come Lord Jesus.

The Week That Was, Weeks That Test Us All

What a week it has been locally and globally. Monday morning a school bus crashes that takes the lives of six kids and injures more. Then on Friday there is a shooting at a shopping mall. In between is Thanksgiving. In the national news former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and actors Florence Henderson and Ron Glass pass away. Of course there is political news being made as America awaits a new president.

For me at work I was tested in the response to the bus crash I mentioned earlier. I work for a blood bank that helped supply blood to those kids injured. My team passed that test I feel.

Weeks like this should only happen every once and awhile. There was too much going on in the universe in my opinion. I am sure there are plenty of things that were happening I missed too. You know the more we go through things like this the tougher we become. Rising to the challenges of life can give us experience we need to make it in the world today.

Our upcoming week I am sure will have its own set of things happening. All I know is that 2016 will go down in history as one that we will never forget.

Today Is Black Friday, May The Madness Begin! #blackfriday #shopping

This is a huge day for retailers because it begins the holiday shopping season. You will find amazing bargains in stores all across the country. I heard on the news this morning that people are using apps and the web as tools to get the best deals possible and that online sales will be bigger this year than ever.
