Thank you to everyone who has expressed their concern and prayed for Tucker’s surgery and recovery. Dr. Dahl was pleased with the results of surgery and today was a tolerable day for our son. He had a few downs and some ups, but Carrie and I are both thankful for the Lord’s mercy and grace for our family and particularly for Tucker.

Repost: The problem with positive thinking
Key question then: why do smart people engage in negative thinking? Are they actually stupid?The reason, I think, is that negative thinking feels good. In its own way, we believe that negative thinking works. Negative thinking feels realistic, or soothes our pain, or eases our embarrassment. Negative thinking protects us and lowers expectations.In many ways, negative thinking is a lot more fun than positive thinking.
