I Question Everything

I've been into science for a long time. I've been a Christian for a long time. I've been an adult leader at a church youth group for almost 10 years now. A long time ago I found a book on my dad's bookshelf called ,"How to Lie with Statistics." I was a bit young to read it, but after having two statistics classes in college, and dealing with statistics in my job all the time, I see how people do this all the time, both intentionally and unintentionally. After a few years of the kids are out of control mantra, by some, hard data is beginning to refute that.

Two sociologists in Philadelphia, Kathleen A. Bogle, of La Salle University, and Maria Kefalas, of St. Joseph’s University, both specialists in teen sexual behavior, told Parker-Pope that they’d had to struggle mightily to get people out of their “moral panic” mindset, and make them understand that teens are not “in a downward spiral” or “out of control.” The Myth of Lost Innocence - Judith Warner Blog - NYTimes.com

I work with teens, trying to build relationships and helping to guide them through that time of life that I would never want to go back to. I have to say that the students seem to be pretty healthy with most of their attitudes, and that it's only a few kids that are the "at risk type." My experience has been that the kids are all right. It isn't time to panic.

The last several years have been a turning point in the band wagon effect that I have suffered from my youth. I'm beginning to question everything I read and hear on the internet and test it all. From things that come out of religious circles like the 4% generation, to some man made global warming thoughts. My dealings with the media in the past to not tell the whole story, from the reporter being a flawed human being to the editor trying to sell newspapers or TV ratings. I have even seen and remember people pushing their own agenda, that was out of selfish motivation and not for the common good.

I looked on at the last presidential campaign and saw things on both sides of the spectrum that had little to do with anything. From the "is Barack Obama a natural born citizen to the Sarah Palin downs syndrome baby was really her daughter's. All of which have been proved false, but to this day continue on into the concious thought of the American public.

So, if people call me conservative, it is because that I think that we should slow down and not rush to judgement and question all of the things that people say. If people call me liberal, it is because I have looked at the raw data for myself and agreed that there is a problem that we need to combat now. That is why on my Facebook page, I list myself as, "A Little to the Right but not by much." Slow down people think about the crap in the media that is shovelled. Some is right, but some is wrong.

My main point that I guess that I'm trying to make is that my opinons have come to me over a long period of time. I try to remain open to new data, but I question it, and I question the old data, as well. I respect other people's opinions and try to arrive at my conclusion by using the scientific method. However, I am a flawed human just like the rest of us. I realize that I can be fooled by people, and that I need to remember to question everything.

Traverse City Record-Eagle - Article: Ski Roundup: Glads, Rams claim meet

Thursday night Kaleb had another conference meet. It was at Nubs Nob north of Harbor Springs. Brandon was able to go, and said that Kaleb clipped a gate in the slalom so he did not finish. However, he finished first in GS. The whole story is here:  Traverse City Record-Eagle - Article: Ski Roundup: Glads, Rams claim meet

If you have a light, You can't hide it

The Daily reading from a podcast and a separate website that I read for Today (Jan. 29)...

Mark 4:21-25

Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this.’
He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given – and more besides; for the man who has will be given more; from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away.’

A statement in the podcast was, (paraphrasing here) Jesus would heal someone and then tell them to remain quiet about it, as if to hide it, but they never seemed to be able to do it. It was as if He was the living example of this passage. "Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light." He could no more keep himself hidden because He was a light to the world.

Are you being a light? So if you tried to remain quiet about things that you do that would please God, would they be shown to the world anyway?

Kaleb at Schuss Mountain

Petoskey News-Review - Sports - Prep skiing: Northmen fourth, fifth at T.C. Central Invitational

It was a day race this week, so we didn't get to go. Kaleb finished fourth in Slalom and 5th in GS. This time he was up against bigger schools  from TC, Cadillac, and Manistee.

Way to go Kaleb!

Forming a smoke deck

Forming a smoke deck
Originally uploaded by Jery McNutz.

Every once i awhile I see things that seem pretty cool. Here is one, although I admit, I missed the better picture about 15 seconds earlier as I was driving home this morning. In this case the smoke from a chimney is going up until the gases and particles cool. The light wind just above the surface then push the particles downstream. At this point the temperature was -17 degrees F.

Kaleb's official results from Jan. 22, 2009

From the Petoskey News-Review:

Kaleb McNamara paced the Boyne boys as he finished second in GS and third in slalom.

 After all the controversy of his first run of the slalom, he still managed to place 3rd! Very cool!

Here is One Thing about the Former Prez

Love him or hate him, President Bush did some things that most people would have thought him impossible to do. Here's one and it has gotten little press:

The information director at the UM sponsored Africa University has written an interesting article for UMNS with thoughts from some of the students about what an Obama presidency means for Africa. I had many differences with President Bush over the years, but I never quite understood why most of the people who hate him never gave him credit for what he did for Africa. During his time in office, he more than tripled humanitarian aid to the continent, and he made AIDS and HIV a huge priority. Tens of thousands (maybe more) of people are alive today because of his policies, and it would be good to see his detractors at least give him props for this.

I hope that President Obama can do more.

Kaleb's first meet of the season

This is the ski meet we missed on Monday. I Twittered about it that day. The previous post was about his second meet.

High school boys' skiing: Opener no smooth sailing for defending ... Petoskey News-Review, MI - Jan 7, 2009 Boyne City had a pair of individual medalists in Kaleb McNamara and Sterling Adgate. McNamara was eighth in GS, Adgate was 10th in slalom. ...

Kaleb Sweeps a Conference meet!

Mary and I didn't get to see this meet either(even though it was across the street). However, Kaleb continues to do well in the skiing events.

Kaleb swept the meet in the Slalom and the GS. Here's part of the story from the Traverse City Record-Eagle:

Kaleb McNamara swept the slalom and giant slalom as Boyne City captured a Lake Michigan Conference boys ski meet at Boyne Mountain.The Ramblers finished with 38 points. St. Francis was second with 63 and Harbor Springs third with 82.

McNamara won the slalom in 1:00.13. He was followed by Drake Doherty of Harbor Springs (1:00.87), Sterling Adgate of Boyne City (1:02.34), Keaden Hornyak of St. Francis (1:02.64) and John Moschovich of St. Francis (1:05.39).

McNamara edged Doherty by a second in the giant slalom (43.61 to 44.6). Boyne City's Mike Cortwright was third (45.36). Stephen Siddall and Cole McCardel of St. Francis were fourth and fifth (45.53 and 45.64).

We have the schedule now and we found our camera! So I hope to get the picture and video online for the next meet that is at Boyne Mountain.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager - Thoughts

I'm glad the youth of America want the unvarnished truth:

And research suggests teens do want the awful truth: Three-quarters say they would like the media to talk more about the consequences of sex, according to a 2007 study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

I just hope that Hollywood would get the message and not send us more unrealistic stuff. I'm middle of the road on the series. It has good moments and statistics, but sometimes falls back on stereotypes for some of the dialog. However, it's not bad.

My dad's encounter with an atheist

A conversation that my dad had with an atheist was brought to the forefront recently, while attending my uncle Bruce's funeral.

Anyway, it was a wake-up call for me that came alive again this past week as I traveled to Southwest Virginia to honor the memory of a fallen comrade, my sister’s husband, Bruce. The Fort Hill UMC was packed…300 strong, to honor this man who had only been a part of their congregation for five years.

A portion of the poem that was read at his funeral:

Not – How did he die? But – How did he live?/Not – What did he gain, But - What did he give?

These are the things that measure the worth of a man, as a man, regardless of birth.
