Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
What’s at the very center of your life?
You know what most people say, right?
Family.
Hands down.
Me too.
Cheryl and Chapin.
Yet it is Jesus that allows this miracle, of Family and Love, to bloom.
So do we, or should we, put Jesus before or after Family?
How does that make you feel? Does it feel like a gift? It might. It really depends on the whole picture.
But what if you can’t see the whole picture? Then what? Does that mean what happened wasn’t meaningful?
On a routine Delta flight yesterday, I met Kim Dawson. We both said, “You look familiar.”
Turns out we attend the same Mass at the same church. Turns out we’re both headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Me, to give a speech that may help change the world.
Kim, to watch a movie that may help change the world.
And one more thing, Kim is the Producer of the movie.
His movie debuts nationwide in two days. He said, “Would you like to come watch it tonight?”
So I wrote a “letter to God”:
“Dear God, thank you for placing this opportunity in front of me. Life on the road is challenging enough, but without proper rest, it becomes even more challenging. May I please do this later?”
My letter to God pales in comparison to the young, cancer-stricken boy who writes Letters to God and the Mailman who has to figure out what to do with them.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s 9,000 worth.
PS. In the lower right corner photo is a box of good shoes our son can no longer wear. We brought them along and found the perfect home for them.
We are taught many things in our lifetimes. Information. Lessons.
When we are young, we are taught to respect adults and trust that they know what they are talking about.
Once we become adults, we realize how many questions we have that still remain unanswered.
Like, “What is Church?”
Perhaps Church is anywhere there are two or more gathered to serve in God’s name, like yesterday, in our car.
Easter Bunny & Easter Eggs, Right?
Today we have a nine-year old third-grader from Orlando, Florida joining us to share some wisdom.
He doesn’t blog for the same reasons most people do. He blogs because his Dad makes encourages him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you can spare two more minutes, I give you Chapin Noel. Take it away Chapin:
HI! Me again!
Or should I say, Me again?
Anywho, I’m going to be here again. (and please go on my site too!)
Also, I bet the name is a dead giveaway: what DOES easter mean to you?
My thoughts about easter are the facts which we have to face: it’s not all about what we traditionally do:
It’s about Jesus. And I know that tons of people around the world take it for granted. But some people believe. And I know, I just know, that at least one person is inventing something more to easter that he/she/it thinks will make him/her/it happy.
But that person is wrong. Sure, it will make them happy, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about giving, being with family, and especially Jesus. Giving food to the poor, charity, and all the good things that we can do to make the world better. Not economically, not by recycling, but by spirituality
note: Please come to my website too! (It’s a pretty cool blog for a third grader) I hope you put this blog post to good use. and (as I always end my blogs) bye! 🙂
