Lunch Time Learning: Don't Throw the Baby Out with the Bath Water and the Origin of Other Sayings

This information was taken from www.littlethings.com
We can learn a lot about ourselves by looking to the past.
History not only provides us with a nostalgic glimpse at how things used to be — like with these classic childhood toys — but its lessons can still teach us things today.

So when I spotted this look at how life “way back when” has shaped our modern phrases and customs, I was absolutely floored!

A CHILDHOOD HERO REMEMBERED

Rich Mullins died 20 years ago today. His music but more so his life left an indelible impact on my life as a teenager. Singing his songs such as, "Awesome God", "Step by Step", "Hold Me Jesus", "My Deliverer", the ingenious "Screen Door", and my all-time favorite "Creed".
The following video is Rich encapsulated. I pray you are challenged and encouraged by his words. You can find Rich's music on Itunes.
