He Prayed For Me On The iPhone

Ever have something nice, and completely unexpected happen?

Late yesterday, while I was still in the office (yes, on a Saturday), my iPhone rang. It was Keith.

Keith and I rode the same school bus for 12 years. I was best man in his wedding, which was like two days after we graduated from the Spring Grove Area High School, in 1977.

Keith lives in Hawaii now, but while he was back home last week in our small town, he said he heard from others about my Faith.

Keith, me and Jesus.

An unlikely trio.

Not any more.

(This may take a few days to explain)

There’s No Way

Think Big. Start Small.
Think Big. Start Small.

As an adult, have you given any consideration to the things you want young people to remember? What if you did simple and easy habits or rituals that would leave an indelible impression on children?

Habits that help teach and shape their young lives and become memories they never forget.

Why? Because this is how we turn the world around.

How? Keep it simple, but profound.

And because your habits and rituals are ridiculously simple to do, and so easy to do, that the only excuse for not doing them is not caring. And how could you not care?

Please consider passing on this concept of care to the next generation. It may be the only hope our planet has.

And it starts with you.

Where’s Jesus?

The Best Example Is Across The Table
The Best Example Is Across The Table

Just replied to a friend’s email, declining an invitation to a men’s group Saturday night get-together.

You know, it’s difficult to say no. What happens when we say no too often?

People stop asking us.

Unless.

Unless?

Yes, unless we have so much passion that it’s no longer ignorable.

I challenged Duane to spend just five minutes reading www.jeffnoel.org

And told him that when our son (9) goes looking for Jesus, he shouldn’t have to look any farther than across the dining room table.

Ya with me?
