Holy Fish and Chips – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1397 of our trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life – something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30, “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.” We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.” Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled…

Holy Fish and Chips

Sister Margaret found herself lost one rainy night on a back road, which she was not familiar with. After about an hour of anxious driving, she finally drove past what appeared to be a monastery. Hesitantly, Sister Margaret turned around and headed up the long driveway. She meekly approached the front door and pulled on the rope, which rang a large bell.

She stood there in the rain for several tense moments and thought about turning around and heading back to her car. Just then, the big door slowly opened and a young gentleman peered out into the night. Upon seeing Sister Margaret soaked by the rain, he insisted that she immediately come inside, a gesture for which she was so thankful.

Sub-Prior John introduced himself and offered Sister Margaret a towel to dry off a bit. Once she was a little more presentable, Sub-Prior John insisted that she stay for dinner, and told Sister Margaret that they had a room reserved for those who may require an overnight stay. Shortly after that, the chimes rang for dinner, and both of them proceeded to the dining hall where they served Sister Margaret the best fish and chips she had ever tasted.

After dinner, she asked Sub-Prior John if she could meet the chefs to express her gratitude for such a delicious meal. Sister Margaret was lead to the kitchen where she was met by two of the Brothers who were the chefs for that evening.

The first one says, “Hello, I am brother Michael, and this is Brother Charles.”

“I’m very pleased to meet you,” replied Sister Margaret. “I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dinner. The fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. Out of curiosity, who cooked what?”

Brother Charles replied, “Well, I’m the fish friar.”

She turned to the other Brother and said, “then you must be…?”

“Yes,” said Brother Michael, “I’m afraid I’m the chip monk.”

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did, pass your smile on to someone else; we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is “My imagination is a monastery, and I am its monk.”

Here is our verse for today.

Mark 1:17

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

Day 1396 – Mastering the Bible – New Testament Letters and Cosmic Geography – Worldview Wednesday

Welcome to Day 1396 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Mastering the Bible – New Testament Letters and Cosmic Geography – Worldview Wednesday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. Today is Day 1396 of our trek, and it is Worldview Wednesday. Creating a Biblical Worldview is essential to have a proper perspective on today’s current events.

To establish a Biblical Worldview, you must have a proper understanding of God and His Word. Our focus for the next several months on Worldview Wednesday is Mastering the Bible through a series of brief insights. These insights are extracted from a book of the same title from one of today’s most prominent Hebrew Scholars, Dr. Micheal S. Heiser. This book is a collection of insights designed to help you understand the Bible better. When we let the Bible be what it is, we can understand it as the original readers did, and as its writers intended. Each week we will explore two insights.

Mastering The Bible – New Testament Letters and Cosmic Geography

Insight Sixty-Seven: Epistles Are Letters

The word “epistle” comes from the Greek word epistole, which means “letter.” We typically associate that word with personal correspondence, but a “letter” might refer to all sorts of documents (commercial, legal, governmental, etc.).

The letters we see in the New Testament are both personal and formal. On the one hand, the writers have a personal attachment to the recipients. Paul, for instance, wrote letters to churches he had founded. Peter and James wrote more general letters to groups of believers who were under persecution. Given the fact that some New Testament letters were aimed at audiences scattered about and not in one location (James 1:1) or were shared with other churches (Colossians 4:16), New Testament letters also had a formal feel to them. Their content was considered essential for believers who had not been the initial addressees.

In our age of instant and scattershot communication, the art of letter writing has mostly been lost. A good letter has discernible components and structure. I can remember learning how to write a letter in grade school. My teacher taught us that letters began with a salutation (Dear…). Instead of getting right to the point, our salutation was supposed to be followed by some sort of light banter to set the right tone, hopefully. We might want to include a preview of what the letter was ultimately about. Then came the body of the letter, whose coherence was fostered or undermined by clear or confused paragraphing. When we were bringing things to a close, we were taught to leave the reader a final reminder so that the main purpose of the letter wouldn’t get lost. Then we closed with “Sincerely” if formal or “Love” if appropriate and signed our names.

New Testament letters also followed patterns. Most of Paul’s letters open with a personal salutation, greeting, and blessing or note of thanksgiving. Here is an example from I Corinthians 1:1-4.

  • Greetings from Paul

This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes.

I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

  • Paul Gives Thanks to God

I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.

Paul would then launch into the body, which he divided into a teaching section and an exhortation/application section (cf. Ephesians 1-3, 4-6). He often closed by sending more personal greetings to friends by name (Romans 16:3-16).

Knowing what to expect is helpful for those times when the writer breaks the expected conventions. Recognizing the norm helps draw our attention to the exception, which is usually what the writer intended to do.

Insight Sixty-Eight: Paul’s Descriptions of the Powers of Darkness Presume a Cosmic Geography

Deuteronomy 32:8-9 informs Bible readers that God put the nations under the authority of the sons of God when he judged them at the Tower of Babel. Deuteronomy 4:19-20, a parallel to the two verses in Deuteronomy 32, reveals the flip side of that judgment-coin, the gods of the nations were allotted to the people God had disinherited. The result was that God took Israel as his own people (Deuteronomy 32:9), but everyone else was under the dominion of lesser gods. These (little g) gods would, in time, become hostile to God and corrupt the nations (Psalm 82). In effect, non-Israelites were enslaved to demonic entities (Deuteronomy 32:17).

The reversal of this situation came with the arrival of Jesus, his work on the cross, and the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost. In the wake of Jesus’s resurrection, the birth of the church signified an aggressive advance in the spiritual battle for the kingdom of God, which launched in the public ministry of Jesus, its king.

The epistles presume this spiritual warfare. The nations are under dominion, and their people must be liberated by the gospel and brought into God’s kingdom. It’s easy to tell because of the terms Paul uses to describe the hostile entities that enslaved people. Paul uses the term “demons” only six times, four of which occur in 1 Corinthians 10:20-21, and that passage draws on Deuteronomy 32:17, where the gods of the nations at Babel are called demons (cf. Deuteronomy 4:19-20; 17:3-4: 29:24-26; 32:17).

Paul refers to these demons by a range of other terms: rulers (1 Corinthians 2:6; Ephesians 3:10; 6:12; Colossians 1:16), authorities (Ephesians 3:10; 6:12; Colossians 1:16); thrones (Colossians 1:16); dominions (Colossians 1:16). All these words have a common denominator: they describe geographical rulership. They are all used elsewhere in the New Testament to signify human beings ruling over specific places. Paul’s language is quite consistent with the notion that the earth’s nations are under the dominion of sinister divine beings who are hostile to Jesus and the gospel.

The lesson is simple but profound. This world is not our home. It is enslaved by demonic powers who resist surrendering their subjects to the Most High. This was the world of the apostles; it is our world as well. The battle will continue “until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ” (Romans 11:25). That

is to say, “brought into the kingdom, wrenched free from the powers of darkness.”

That will conclude this week’s lesson on another two insights from Dr. Heiser’s book Mastering the Bible. Next Worldview Wednesday, we will continue with two additional insights. I believe you will find each Worldview Wednesday an interesting topic to consider as we build our Biblical Worldview.

Tomorrow we will continue with our 3-minute humor nugget that will provide you with a bit of cheer and help you to lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Day 1395 – An Element of Faith – Wisdom Unplugged

An Element of Faith – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1395 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Paul Tillich, and it is:  Doubt isn’t the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.    

An Element of Faith

This quote may seem irrational or illogical, but when you really think about it, I believe it is entirely accurate. Another similar dichotomy is you cannot have courage if you have not experienced fear. For if you have never doubted, how can you know what it is to experience faith? The best definition of faith is found in God’s Word. Hebrews 11:1 Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. We all experience doubts and fears. In some, it is more acute, but once they can overcome those doubts and fears, the stronger their faith and courage can be. To have strong and lasting faith, we must know what it is to have doubted. It is not easy to live by faith because we all crave certainty. Our recent experiences from the pandemic have rocked many people’s faith. Instinctively we desire to have faith in the medical experts and even leading government officials, but as the days morph into weeks, and now months, I see many who are losing faith in those officials. I tend to be a very trusting person. I admit even my faith in some of what we are being told is turning to doubt. Especially as I see the devastation, it is causing to so many lives through illness, loss of jobs, and businesses that may not survive.  Yes, doubt is an essential element to faith. That is why when I begin to experience doubt, and my faith becomes shaky, I turn to the One in whom my faith is grounded. Real and lasting faith must come from God. So how can we have this faith, even in the midst of chaos? We are told how in Hebrews 12:2

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.

Day 1394 – Peace or Worry – Meditation Monday

Welcome to Day 1394 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Peace or Worry – Meditation Monday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1394 of our Trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life, Meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and in prayer. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and making sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you, too, will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind.

 Although we do have a choice, it sometimes is difficult for all of us to put into practice. Today let us meditate on:

Peace or Worry

There’s a verse in the New Testament 1 Peter 5:7 that says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 

I like the imagery of taking the things that I’m worried about and throwing them or cast them upon God. That’s what the word “give all” means in the original language. Peter is telling his readers to throw their worries upon God and let Him take care of them.

Here is a suggestion that I read about that may help when worries and cares start to overwhelm you. Use this mental exercise to try and deal with the stress in your life. When something comes into your mind or heart that you are worried about, try to imagine something that represents that concern. If you are worried about your health, you might think of a hospital or a bottle of pills. If it’s a financial problem, picture a stack of money. It doesn’t really matter what you choose, as long as it is something that you can visualize. Visualization can be a potent tool. Next, take that symbol of worry and imagine that you are placing it in a burlap sack. Then proceed to close the sack, whirl it a few times in my mind, then toss it to God. Visualize yourself, casting that anxiety on him.

It may sound silly, but I find that the visualization process helps me do what I need to do: stop worrying and trust that God will handle my problems. The apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6-7: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

 If you can learn to turn your worries over to God, he will give you His peace — that divine peace that defies all logic. You must decide to give your worries and cares to God. Share your worries and cares through prayer, and thank Him for handling them. In return, He will provide you with peace. I don’t know about you, but I much prefer peace to worry!

So next time something is weighing on your mind, try the mental exercise I described. Combine that with prayer and thanksgiving. You very well may find that God takes your worry away and gives you his peace to replace it. Let us meditate on this practice today and every day.

That is a wrap for today’s Meditation, next week; we will continue our trek on Meditation Monday as we take time to reflect on what is most important in creating our living legacy. On tomorrow’s trek, we will explore another wisdom quote. This 3-minute wisdom supplement will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise each day. Thank you for joining me on this trek called life. Encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’  If you would like to listen to any of the past 1393 daily treks or read the daily journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.

Day 1393 – Life After Covid-19 Part 2 – Ask Gramps

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 1393 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Life After Covid-19 Part 2 – Ask Gramps

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1393 of our trek, and it is time for our Philosophy Friday series. Each Friday, we will ponder some of the fundamental truths and mysteries of life and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy.

As we continue on this trek called life, sometimes we have questions about life, so our Friday trek is a time when we can “Ask Gramps.” Gramps will answer questions that you would like to ask your ad or granddad, but for whatever reason, you are unable to. No matter how old we are, I know that all of us would like the opportunity to ask Dad or Gramps questions about life in many areas.

We may mix it up a bit on our Friday episodes, but we will strive to keep them down to earth and enjoyable. If you have any questions that you would like to ask Gramps, please email them to guthrie@wisdom-trek.com.

Last week we had a question, but this question is too broad to answer in one episode. The answer today is one of several Ask Gramps features that will analyze various areas of life and how this pandemic will impact them. Please make sure that you download our Friday podcast sessions to follow the complete analysis. Better yet, subscribe to Wisdom-Trek so you can gain a bit of wisdom five days a week. So here is the question…

“Hey, Gramps, I realize that after this whole Covid-19 pandemic is under control, life will take on some sort of normalcy for most people. I can’t get my mind around how life will change with so many people out of work and many businesses not being able to survive. What is your take on how life will be after Covid-19?”

Life After Covid-19 Part 2

Our focus last week was overall jobs and manufacturing. As I mentioned last week, I do not have a crystal ball nor a prophetic message about life after Covid-19. That being said, I do have over 40 years of business and nearly 64 years of life experience which help me to see what others may not.

The core of this content today and in subsequent weeks comes from a book and companion blog written by Peter Diamandis. His book The Future is Faster Than You Think was published in January of this year before Covid-19. Peter has recently also stated that Covid-19 would accelerate his predictions significantly. I recommend his book.

Let me offer some perspective. It has been said that crises don’t so much alter the course of history as accelerate changes that are already underway. Exponential technology has been disrupting traditional industries at an ever-increasing pace. The pandemic has put these changes into hyper speed. Never have we had the opportunity to rewrite entire sectors, redefine the problems they address, and reinvent their solutions. This is a scary and also exciting time to be alive! Any time we have a disaster such as this, there is also unlimited opportunity.

The next economic sector we will explore is brick-and-mortar retail. The impact and losses stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic will accelerate the demise of many traditional retail businesses. Quarter 1 & Quarter 2, 2020 losses are spelling “game over” for more brick-and-mortar retail.

This month alone, J. Crew, J.C. Penney, Neiman Marcus, and Lord & Taylor have announced they are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many other major retailers may be quick to follow. The real tragedy is the millions of small “main street” retailers that will fold in the months ahead as government stimulus monies run out, consumers tighten their belts, and subconscious social distancing keeps many homebound.

In 2018, roughly 1.8 billion people around the globe purchased goods online. In the same year, global e-retail sales amounted to $2.8 trillion. In less than two years by 2021, global e-retail sales are expected to double with growth to $4.8 trillion.

Anyone who wasn’t purchasing online has been forced to learn over the past 60 days. Of course, this shift is a result of today’s pandemic conditions. As countless eCommerce newcomers find online buying increasingly convenient and easy, this transition is only accelerating. It is sad to see some small brick-and-mortar businesses fail due to this pandemic and online shopping. The pandemic probably only accelerated their eventual demise. The two giants Amazon and Walmart, have provided eCommerce platforms for hundreds of thousands of small businesses to sell online with little or no capital cost. There would be no way to get this type of exposure on their own. eCommerce is not unlike what happened with the invention and mass production of the automobile and its impact on the horse and buggy industries. So what are some of the opportunities for entrepreneurs and traditional small retailers?

Here are some ideas to consider.

(1) Provide a turnkey service to “main-street retailers:” Most mom and pop stores don’t have the technical knowledge to go online, master SEO, and adopt automated fulfillment options. One opportunity for tech-savvy entrepreneurs is to help put a main-street retailer’s products online. Most retailers haven’t realized that they can list their products on Amazon or Walmart or use Shopify to drive eCommerce for themselves.

(2) Personal Shopper Services: Rather than simply selling stuff in a store, consider becoming a retailer that adds a high-touch customization service to your offering. Serve your local clients in a way that online cannot. Consult them on their needs, then design and fulfill on jewelry, clothing, or furniture. People trust people far more easily than they trust corporate brands.

(3) Add an Exponential Tech to your offering: Instead of perusing clothing racks, we are in the initial stages of a retail era dominated by Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Spatial Web technologies. Whether it’s virtual try-on capacity, Augmented Reality-overlaid information on the physical assets in your field of view, or your own Artificial Intelligence personal shopper, retail is at a historic turning point.

For entrepreneurs, now is the time to redefine it.

You must prepare and change in order to survive, as we are told in Proverbs 24:27, “Do your planning and prepare your fields before building your house.”

We are still just scratching the surface of some of the accelerated changes that we will see in the next few years. Next Friday, we will explore more areas of transformation to come, specifically in restaurants and dining.

That is a wrap for today’s question. Join us again next Friday for another question on our Ask Gramps episode. Our next trek is Mediation Monday, where we will help you reflect on what is most important in life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
