☆Videos Worth Watching on YouTube☆

I also have an unlisted playlist of videos from around YouTube about professional wrestling that I think are thought-provoking and worth watching. One of my favorite sayings is, “Everything is pro wrestling.” The more you understand how professional wrestling works, the better you’ll understand how things like politics, social media, marketing, etc. work…

I Bought My Guitar By Gambling

It all started with the death of Dick Butkus.

(That is quite a name, now that I think about it.)

Dick Butkus was an American football player for the Chicago Bears from 1965 to 1973. He’s considered one of the toughest and most intimidating linebackers in NFL history.

(If you have a name that sounds like “dick butt-kiss” you have to be tough.)

Butkus had a successful career as a player, a commentator, and he even did some acting. He became a sports celebrity, especially to those of us in Chicago.

This story isn’t about Dick Butkus.

I’m not a gambler. I don’t know anything about parlays or over/under or whatever. I created an account on a gambling app a while back because a coworker was doing it and he kept talking about it and all the talk made me want to try it to see what it was all about.

I placed a $20 bet on the Chicago Bears to win the game they played right after Butkus died, joking that the spirit of Dick Butkus would guide them to victory.

Like a Child

I spent a lot of time in my years of studying theology and philosophy pondering the meaning of this seemingly simple directive found in Matthew 18:3-5…

“Change and become like little children.”

Even now, many years since I last considered myself “religious,” I still think about that verse and what it means.
