Say It Ain’t So

Ever find yourself going through your daily motions and you get a text, email or phone call that stops you in your tracks?

Yesterday was one of those times and I’d like to ask for your help in praying for one couple in particular. They were all set to adopt a newborn child, when “a Father” suddenly appeared where there wasn’t.

This couple has struggled a long time to start a Family, like many couples do – more than most people realize. They had finally reached the end of one journey and were about to begin the next chapter in their lives – as Parents.

God has some other plan, because they are not going to be Parents this time. When will their next time be?

Let’s hope that their pain and grief at the “loss” of their first child will be overcome by an outpouring of God’s Grace, Mercy and Never Ending Love, and all of our kind and generous prayers.

Texting While Driving

The Lord works in mysterious ways. Facebook.

Of all places to receive a message as important, and graphic, as this. Too many of us, myself included are too distracted while driving.

The cab driver a few days ago told me that a man had been killed just an hour before picking me up. His SUV and a Tractor Trailer collided and he was thrown from his vehicle. And yesterday, a woman from the UK told me you get arrested if you’re caught using a cell phone while driving. Maybe this will convince Americans to “wake up”. Maybe not. What do you think?

Ever make a commitment to volunteer, and do a pretty decent job at fulfilling your promise to yourself and to the others?

Ever stumble and fall, and wonder if you’ll be able to recover?

What do you do? Give up? Keep on keepin’ on?

Tonight will be the first time in weeks I’ve been able to attend Catechism. Traveling as a professional speaker sometimes inhibits the ability to live up to that volunteer commitment – to the teacher and to the children.

There are many lessons to be learned here.

Look Around

When was the last time you stopped your busy routine and made a conscious effort to look around at the simple things?

If you’re like me, it’s probably been too long.

Our son and I were leaving the Apple store the other day and I noticed this:
