Kind but tough!

A longtime friend gifted me this image a little while ago. While the image was their gift, the words of wisdom I put beside the image, they have been a guiding light in my heart and life. 🙏

Timber framing!

The Borgund Stave Church in Norway. Constructed between 1180 and 1250 AD, it is a remarkable relic of medieval craftsmanship, uniquely built entirely of wood and assembled without any nails through a method known as timber framing. This method of construction is characteristic of a rare group of medieval churches found predominantly in Scandinavia. Now preserved as a museum, the church has been carefully restored and is managed by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments. It features a distinctive triple nave layout and is recognized as a Sogn-type stave church.

Tax relaxation for Americans!

Jeff Bezos says the bottom 50% of Americans should pay no federal income tax. In a recent interview, Bezos argued that lower-earning Americans should be allowed to keep more of their money. His reasoning was that the bottom half of earners contribute a relatively small share of total federal income-tax revenue, so removing that burden could make a meaningful difference in their lives. He also said he would advocate for the idea with President Trump. But there is an important detail. This is not current law. It is a proposal. And many lower-income Americans already pay little or no federal income tax after credits, but they may still pay payroll taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, rent-related costs, and other taxes. That is why the idea is getting attention. One of the richest men in the world is now saying the lowest-earning half of America should not pay federal income tax at all. A billionaire arguing for a tax break for the bottom 50%.

Legs on floor?

Result of parking illegally!

The first rule of s***e club... 😳🫣 What started as a normal day quickly turned into a lesson that dozens of drivers would never forget. A farmer returned to find vehicles scattered across his private land after visitors decided to use the field as a convenient parking area. Instead of confronting people face-to-face or causing a scene, he came up with a response that was both creative and unforgettable. The cars were left sitting in a grassy field that soon became covered in mud and dirt, leaving their owners with a messy surprise when they returned. Photos of the incident quickly spread online, with many people debating whether the farmer's actions were justified or simply a clever way of protecting his property. Supporters argued that private land should be respected and that people cannot expect to park wherever they want without permission. Others saw the situation as a humorous reminder that every action has consequences. Regardless of which side people took, the story captured attention across social media because it highlighted a common problem faced by landowners: visitors ignoring boundaries and assuming someone else's property is free to use. One thing is certain—those drivers probably thought twice before parking on private land again. Sometimes the most memorable lessons don't come from fines or warnings... they come from a little creativity.
