You Can’t

As Simple As A Flower
As Simple As A Flower

Ever struggle to get results in an important area in your life, but no matter what you do, your efforts are fruitless?

Yesterday’s post reminded me that our example speaks louder than our words:

“What you do thunders so loudly, I can’t hear what you say”. — Emerson

Happy Hour Is An App

So Everyone Who's Alive, This Is You
So Everyone Who's Alive, This Is You

Our lives have been irrevocably changed since the advent of _______.

Fill in the blank, but don’t forget the less obvious choices:

  • Fire
  • Bow & Arrow
  • Boat
  • Wheel
  • Paper
  • Bridge
  • Toothbrush
  • Happy Hour

Our Pastor was telling a story yesterday about a fellow Priest who worked until he was 86. This Pastor friend had two sayings posted on his mirror:

  1. Happy Hour is an app
  2. Time is running out

Yesterday’s Gospel reading’s hypothesis was that to whom much has been given, much will be required, which is why I don’t have time for this (drinking) app.

But we can be certain the 86-year old Pastor wasn’t talking about 2-for-1.

Manifest Destiny By Josh Brooker

Josh, Mission Accomplished
Josh, Mission Accomplished

Today we have a story from Josh Brooker, and he is the 21-year old middle son of long-time friends of ours.

Brian Brooker, Josh’s Father, and the two other brothers took a cross-country road trip this summer. And Josh produced a captivating video documentary. The production, narration, music, editing – a stunning artist expression of Manifest Destiny.

If you have 16 minutes to allow yourself to be taken on a youthful, entertaining, and profoundly insightful look at dreams and age-old questions, and want to take a trip down memory lane when, at 21, you yourself had these same dreams and questions, then click here.

Before you decide to click away, I didn’t mention – this is award-winning cinematography and storytelling. At nine minutes into Josh’s manifesto, I began to get teary-eyed. I’m not making this recommendation lightly, and I understand your insane schedule.

You will thank (me) Josh later, but only if you have the self-discipline to slow down, take a deep breathe, and watch.
