Read More Teach Us How To ReapIf you open box A you win the special star prize. If you open box B you get the booby prize. Booby prize. Back in the day I took that phrase for what it meant – this is the worst ‘prize’ you could attain. You didn’t want the booby prize. It was so bad that […]
Read More What Reward?The fact that we need someone to deliver us is an interesting concept to consider. If we can get ourselves out of whatever tricky predicament we find ourselves in, then deliverance is not required. And we certainly won’t need anyone’s help where that’s concerned.
