Are you among the only 10% of the population who are left-handed?\u00a0 Happy Left-Hander\u2019s Day! Many studies show lefties are more creative, better in math, and better multi-taskers. You are among famous, smart, and talented company such as Aristotle and Napoleon; Babe Ruth and Joe Frazier; Jimi Hendrix and Paul McCartney; and Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates. By the way, 4 out of 5 of the Apple founders were, you guessed it, lefties!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a southpaw too.\u00a0 I\u2019ll just mention a few things my fellow left-handers will relate to, and say congrats to you for hanging in there in a right-handed world.<\/p>\n

~ Our hand drags across all our work\u2014sometimes smearing and always leaving the gray pinkie.\u00a0 Gel pens are fun for right-handed people, but for us\u2014a mess!<\/p>\n

~ Spiral notebooks and 3-ring binders\u2014come on\u2026the struggle is real!<\/p>\n

~ Our arms always hang off our right-handed desks while writing in school\u2014no rest for the lefties.<\/p>\n

~ Scissors are better now than when I started school; however, back in the day, they just chewed the paper for left-handed students.\u00a0 This probably forced most of us to use them right handed.<\/p>\n

~ If you\u2019ve ever been asked to serve punch at an event, you know that the ladles\u2019 pour spouts are designed for our right-handed friends. Yes, you might as well trade jobs with someone, because this tool is not going to work for you.<\/p>\n

God was even intentional in pointing out people who were left-handed.\u00a0 There\u2019s an interesting story in the Bible about a left-handed Benjamite named Ehud.\u00a0 He went and killed the fat king of Moab, King Eglon. The Israelites then defeated Moab and brought peace to Israel for 8 years. The details of this story are quite comical. You\u2019ll enjoy reading it in Judges 3:12-20.\u00a0 Also in Judges, I found mention of 700 chosen men who were left-handed \u201ceach of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss\u201d Judges 20:16.\u00a0 Oh, the accuracy of the southpaw.<\/p>\n

Cheers to you, my fellow Lefties! Enjoy your day and celebrate your uniqueness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
