My brother came in town and spent 2 hours with our children on a school morning while my wife was teaching about magnets. My Theory is Love is Magnetic, through positive and negative energy we are attracted to one another.
Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

he was a bully do you know what a bully
00:01
is that’s somebody that makes fun of you
00:05
and teases you can we do this all over
00:15
yeah my brother and I don’t have the
00:18
greatest relationship but on a school
00:20
morning he stopped by on his way back to
00:23
Baltimore that same morning we were
00:25
learning about magnets so today we’re
00:27
investigating magnets and so I have a
00:30
bunch of random stuff that I collected
00:33
from around the house and I created a
00:36
worksheet for the kids to like go
00:38
through and say if it’s magnetic or not
00:41
so you created that worksheet it’s
00:44
beautiful you see it brought me back to
00:46
my teacher days it’s just so basically
00:49
that would be a chocolate but hopefully
00:52
it would also end up being conversation
00:56
[Music]
00:59
like for example the toy card it’s not
01:03
magnetic there is like a magnetic pole
01:08
so I don’t know if this is too advanced
01:10
for them to like talk about it
01:15
so they were
01:20
[Music]
01:28
[Music]
01:44
[Music]
01:58
[Music]
02:11
getting ice is the way
02:21
in home school today the kids were
02:24
learning about magnets and how the
02:25
positive and negative electrical charges
02:27
attract each other I find it interesting
02:29
that love is a positive force that
02:31
pushes us toward things that we might
02:32
determine as negative my theory is that
02:35
love is magnetic and I wouldn’t say that
02:37
my brother and I have a terrible
02:38
relationship but it’s obvious that his
02:40
love for his niece and nephews brought
02:42
him to see us and I’m grateful for that
02:47

08:23
whenever I get around my brother I
08:25
always think about how much better I
08:27
could have been not just to him to
08:29
everybody it’s important for me to show
08:31
you my flaws because our parents really
08:34
didn’t have the time to but if you can
08:35
understand where I came from you might
08:37
be able to believe that people can
08:39
change and love is what changes us so
08:42
many of us me included have things in
08:45
our past that we avoid is repelling us
08:47
from people we should be confronting by
08:50
one pretending everything is okay or to
08:52
hatred right you ought to give them up
09:25
back up Ryan back up you can’t be doing
09:28
that trying to take your brother’s hugs
09:29
you’re always trying to get in the
09:30
middle of show he’ll see you next time
09:44
[Music]
09:52
take
09:55
he’s just positive and negative together
10:07
[Music]
10:13
having children is almost like a do-over
10:15
because people come from near and far to
10:18
embrace the love that you made love
10:20
isn’t void of conflict when done right
10:23
love promotes multi-generational living
10:25
invites community and says even though I
10:28
feel I fight love is heavy love is
