Codependency is a real and dangerous enemy

Walt Disney Company Mission statement — Vision and purpose have taken up a lot of space in my head the past few weeks. What is my vision for writing? What is your vision for what you do? What if you don’t have an answer?

Writing.

It begins with the notion of carving out time to think.

Next, the act of putting thoughts on ‘paper’ (or a screen).

And finally, deciding whether to hit publish or not.

That said, we must remember…

The first ministry is at home.

Helping yourself process life’s challenges puts you in a better position to help others. Writing does this for me.

Warning: Codependency is a real and dangerous enemy.

It’s an issue i’ve dealt with, and continue to deal with, literally all my life.

Because i refuse to become co-dependent, i struggle with what appears to be a lack of concern. In reality, i’ve surrendered my inability to influence positive change.

i found this article helpful in explaining and understanding codependency basics. The article also helps you do a decent inventory of you and the person(s) in question.

Can we rid our world of hate?

Yesterday, on LinkedIn of all places, a visionary message – no hate in our world. Please.

i’d go a step further and say, if our thoughts have any hate or malice in them, there is room for us to grow.

Ask your Son

Spring Grove HS class of 1977 — Seven months official notice.

Ask your Son.

Ask your wife.

Odds are decent they’ll tell you to go.

You get a handful of these High School class reunions in a lifetime.

If your son plays football, you’ve no doubt seen a couple dozen games from 7th grade to four years worth of college.

Remember, please, after all, it’s your 40th High School class reunion.

Maybe it’s college homecoming. Or a special tribute to the players. could be an insanely good reason to attend the football game.

Knowing in March that Oct 28th is a conflict between your Son’s college football game and your 40th (you caught that, right, 40th?) reunion, and you’re going to pass on the reunion to attend one of four Fall’s worth of college football games? And let’s assume you’ve already attended a dozen or two High School games, ok?

There’s an opportunity to teach a child about childhood relationships. Attending High School reunions is one of them.

My Mom taught and continues to teach me.

Maybe i was off balance

Nature — i pass this tree multiple times a day.

Our neighbor’s tree is now home to a Red Tail Hawk family.

Yesterday morning in the mundane routine of walking the trash can to the curb, i noticed a hawk in the middle of the tree.

This seemed unusual because i normally spot them on the upper and outer branches.

Closer inspection revealed a big nest.

This tree shades our mailbox and our driveway entrance.

i had never noticed the nest being built.

Maybe i was out of balance.

Standing-Ovation for courage

Incredible inside insight into a belief system that practices hate, yet professes love.

Dear Son, thank you for watching this with me last night.

Key message:

God does not hate.

Second message:

Let she who hasn’t sinned cast the first stone.
