The Time and Temp Cop Out

Last weekend I heard something banging on the window from my two sons’ bedroom. Above is what I saw when I walked in. A wild turkey. It took me a few minutes to realize what was going on. You see, turkeys are not the smartest of birds. I realized that this turkey was seeing his reflection in the window… and didn’t know it was his reflection in the window.  He was trying to communicate with a friend. A friend that was in fact, his reflection. But as soon as I moved closer to the window, he was able to see me (not a turkey) and that turkey, along with his buddy, high-tailed it out of there. 

My dad always told me, “Practice what you preach.  People will believe you when they can see the proof.”  It’s a pretty natural thing to understand.  We live in a world where everyone is an ‘expert’  – especially if they have a youtube channel with a handful of followers. The truth is, most people are not experts. The easiest way to make someone believe you is by showing proof that you practice what you preach.
