• Many expressions are ingrained in our vocabulary when we are only knee high to a grasshopper (very small.) Some are kept out of earshot of children because they may not be appropriate for young ears! (Those won’t be in Tidbits!) • While little children may be cute as a bug’s ear (the smaller they come, the cuter they are), some are bullheaded (stubborn) and make a beeline (go toward) to trouble. After all, when the cat’s away, the mice will play (people misbehaving without supervision). • Sometimes supervision is in the hands of the biggest frog in the pond (most important person in a group), while at other times it may be given to the leader who is as calm as a toad in the sun (calm and content). Either way, if there is conflict, it may be necessary to separate the sheep from the goats (distinguish the good from the bad). • When conflict arises, there are times when people act like animals. A dumb cluck (person acting stupid) may be pigheaded (stupidly stubborn) and try to find a scapegoat (innocent person who is blamed) when things go wrong. • A bullheaded (obstinate) person may try to butt heads (to argue fiercely) with a sheepish (embarrassed) friend only to find that she will pull the wool over his eyes ( fool him). • It is easy to get fleeced (swindled) if you don’t pay attention to what is happening to you and just ignore obvious problems. If you make yourself a sitting duck (easy target) you may end up in a harebrained scheme (foolish plan). • It is much better to have all your ducks in a row (be organized), than to go down a rabbit hole (enter a fantasy world) when you need to make decisions. 319-432-1534

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

Do the Right Thing

Jesus told a parable of the “Good Samaritan” which our country passed a law from.. This parable portrays a modeled behavior pattern that is expected from all of us who desire to do the right thing. There are four things that I can do that will help someone in times of crisis; 1) Allow compassion to govern my heart – keep your antennas up for opportunities to help. 2) Take the time needed out of a busy schedule – sometimes it takes time to do what is necessary. 3) Use my personal resources – cash or usage of personal possessions are a needed asset to help. 4) Get out of the way – let God do His job once you have done yours. If I can incorporate these 4 steps in Jesus’ model of behavior I can love my neighbor the way God designed me to. If I want to make a difference and do the right thing, I must learn to use the head, heart, and hands that Jesus does. May we all be transformed into “Loving God and People More Today than Yesterday.”
