Inadvertent Opportunity

Yesterday, I sent out an e-mail listing 8 people whose services I have enjoyed and wanted to share. And, I had the computer add a ninth name to each list — yours: <YOUR NAME HERE>!

This led to many people thinking that I was actually singling them out.
Which is awesome. And, a bit awkward.
While I have no qualms making people feel good,I have less desire to mislead.
There is spurious wisdom out there that the Chinese character for crisis is actually opportunity plus danger. While this etymology is bunk, let me still turn this potential issue into an opportunity. For you. And, for me.
If I were to list you on the ROTB services page, what would you have me put?
Here’s an opportunity for you to think of yours.
And, then, what I would put for me.

On a Mission from God
Rabbi Brian
oldrotb.wpengine.com

I work for Religion-Outside-The-Box (ROTB.org) to produce articles, podcasts, as well as in-person and semi-virtual seminars.
My work is to help adults maintain a healthy, adult relationship with God.
I can help you de-tangle your baggage with regard to surrender, society, religion, and God. I won’t tell you want to think, but will help you unlearn, learn, and flesh out for your beliefs for yourself.
I work for God in a “Blues Brothers” meets “John Lennon as an ordained rabbi” kind of way.
My short term goal is to add 31,500 people to the religion-outside-the-box mailing list by July 1. E-mail ideas to help.  My long term goal is to spread love.

This week’s #wisdom_biscuits:
Think about spelling out what you stand for.
When possible, turn challenges into opportunities.  

Mark was wrong

Mark is smart. He’s one of my smarter friends. He is able to contort his words so as to not split an infinitive, as I just did in this very sentence. (Mark would have written, so as not to split an infinitive.) ⟡⟡⟡ Four or five years ago, Mark’s youngest child—assigned female at birth and named Clara—told him that they

Except if you are Jenn F.

I’m here to help. As far as I can figure out, that’s why I’m here. To help. A saying attributed to John Wesley: Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As

Misplaced Righteous Indignation

I’m fuming. FUMING. F-U-M-I-N-G! I’ve just removed my key from the front door and crossed over the threshold. The setting is my first floor apartment at 7 Keren Hayesod in Jerusalem.  I lived there for a year — two buildings down and across the street from the Super Sol where King George starts. About a 1¼-mile walk from the Western
