Truth Out of Context

I just discovered Einkorn wheat.  It is supposedly among the oldest wheats in the world, and the claim is that it only has 14 chromosomes instead of the 42 that modern wheat has.

A fascinating data point – if it is true.

I am always intrigued by such variants and amused at the marketing that simply says it is superior because of fewer chromosomes.  I wonder what the implications are to our health?  Really.  Not just based on hype.

I ordered some wheat berries and will mill it and bake some bread.  How does it rise?  How does it taste?  How does it keep?

Sometimes my metrics are pretty basic and selfish.

TWO NEW COHORTS FOR THINKING CLEARLY

New Cohorts

We recently ran a poll and the verdict was loud that there is still high interest in the Thinking Clearly e-course, so we are rolling out two new cohorts:  Purple and Magenta.

They WILL have Zoom calls, but will probably be the last ones with live calls.  The class will be offered continually for years to come, but on a self-paced model, without Zoom calls, as I will invest my time doing live calls for each new topic/course we release.

Magenta Cohort Zoom calls will be at 12 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesdays.

Purple Cohort will be at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time on the same days.

The schedule for calls is:

  • 1. March 18
  • 2. April 8
  • 3. April 29
  • 4. May 20
  • 5. June 10
  • 6. July 1

For those who read this page, you will be rewarded by having a one-day head start on the rest of the Tribe.  You may register HERE for the cohort of your choice.  Tomorrow, we will announce it more widely.

Since there are four cohorts out ahead of you, we have learned where the glitches are in the course, and have been revising the lessons as we go.  This content is broadly the same, but with the rough edges resolved.

I received an email from someone in the education field.  He is dreaming about opening a “different” kind of school someday and asked me if I had any ideas or suggestions about what could be done better.

I was surprised at the disorganized grab bag of possibilities that tumbled out in the conversation.  While most were utterly beyond his reach at present, it was a delight to engage with someone who could dream fantastically big, and not ask me to edit down my ideas to the level of what is practical now!

When we started 30 years ago, ministering to babies in the womb was a big deal.  Everywhere I went, there was an expectant mom, and we had wonderful times.

Then that dried up.  I ran across only a few moms, and the ones I did meet were quite disinterested in the spirit of their child.

Odd, but it is what it is.

Plenty of grace elsewhere.

I have observed in the last six months, that there is a steady stream of connections with the newborn to toddler kids in the Tribe, and am wondering if that is a marker of a new season.

So, this is a question.  If I did a Zoom call for parents in that zone, where it was all Q & A, no prep on my part, would there be interest?  If so, drop me a line at Friends@TheSLG.com.
