Integrity of any kind is never wasted

Two days ago – from home to the HS school track and back.

 

In the blog you just came from, that story continues here. The day before, the High School Administrator sent all the parents an email update about the 30-minute school-wide student meeting on academic integrity.

i replied with a sincere, and specific note about how grateful i was for his focus.

This was done without expectation.

We can never know the blessings we will receive from acting with academic integrity, we can only have faith that integrity, of any kind, is never a waste of time.

A little known secret no one cares about

Finland hotel room
Finland hotel room 2009. Each morning began with knees on the hardwood floor.

 

A little known secret no one cares about except one person.

Me.

When i launched the self-imposed 100-day writer’s boot camp challenge – to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts – another, much softer and invisible challenge was also launched.

To begin each morning on bended knees, in prayer.

The difference between surviving and thriving is the investment we are willing to commit to.

It depends on one thing

In the blue line above is the cost of trip insurance for the flights i booked yesterday. Wouldn’t it be nice if every trip came with trip insurance?

Insurance for what?

  1. A refund?
  2. A great experience?

Paid insurance handles the first. Our faith handles the second.

Happy birthday to me…

Today is the 56th anniversary of my birth.

Four more years, God willing, to accomplish everything i want to do in life.

What’s your deadline?

You do have one, right?

Of course i know no one knows.

But that’s just an excuse for not living with focus and discipline.

This message isn’t spam, even if it feels unwanted.
