Not much of theological nature for today… just a few rules we have around the Ethridge house. Maybe they can help you some time. Snicker… Wink!
Rule #1: The Golden Rule… “He who has the gold makes the rules.” (Special thanks to Anthony Humphries for this one.)
Rule #2: Never turn down a breath mint. (Should be self explanatory.)
Rule #3: At a buffet don’t fill up on bread and salad, go for the high dollar items… meats and things like that. (Don’t let them make money off you!)
Rule #4: The driver of the vehicle controls: A} The radio, CD, MP3, and/or movie volume and… B} The temperature. (Gender and age of occupants do not come in to play. The driver is in complete control at all times.) Ammendment: The driver MUST have a valid driver’s license for this rule to apply. Thus, those with a driver’s permit cannot implement this rule. Cudos to Becky Preston…
Rule #5: No whining!
Rule #6: If there are any questions or objections, refer to rule #1.
If you have any similar life rules, I’d love to consider adding and updating my list. Just click “Comment” below and the Moderator will forward them to me.
I know from experience that Ron has tested and proved rule #4. Last summer my 17 year old son and I were taking a long drive to the beach. With a few hours to go, we entered into a heated discussion about what kind of music we would listen to. After 30 mimnutes of arguing, we agreed to contact Dr. Ethridge for a final ruling. With great clarity, Ron settled the issue. I am eternally thankful for his scholarly knowledge of such trivial interests. We need more men like Ron.
Seriously, great blog. Every body needs some levity like this on a Monday!
#4 has ALWAYS been my rule…much to my kid’s dismay at times. The only problem now is my 16 year old driving and he thinks that rule applies to him also. NOT !!!

“Treat your family as you would your best friend, because they are!”
One of my rules – There is a place for everything and everything should be in its place.
