Ron: What does the second law of thermodynamics have to do with your relationships?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: At FamilyLife® we tell people to be intentional about their relationships. Why? Because of entropy. Entropy is the unavailability of a system’s thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work. It’s the gradual decline of a system into disorder. Boy, did that hurt my brain. Okay, it’s why your mobile phone needs to be recharged every night and why the sun will burn out in five billion years. (Okay, we have some time.)
Look, relationships are like an old grandfather clock; if you don’t wind them up every once in a while, they stop working. So, go wind them up. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
