Living in the land of freedom of choice

American Flag
Yesterday at Florida Hospital Orlando.

 

When the High School Principal’s message arrived, the High Schooler was upset for being accused wrongly.

And so it goes.

Some parents remained relaxed and defaulted to, “It’s probably a mistake.”

In the same way we’d want to be given the benefit of the doubt, it would be wise to also extend it as a first choice response.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

i knew the Pastor could use something to feed on

After the sermon, our son (16) and i waited our turn at the end of the line to talk to the Pastor.

Finally, it was our turn…

“We sat in the last row, as a compromise between our son not wanting to come and me wanting to be in the front row.”

Shared that a week ago, in the same row, we didn’t feel anything (bored, truth be told), but today we felt passion. With no offense or judgement to last week’s sermon (different Pastor).

i told Matt there were probably many who felt as i did but they probably take for granted that “Matt knows this” and never say a word.

“i just wanted to feed you.”

He was there to feed us. Yet there are no rules saying we can’t bring a meal ourselves to share.

Which would a Marketer use to attract “believers”?

WPS 2016 Boys cross country
Can you picture “believers” (whatever that means) racing to get closer?

 

At last Sunday’s service (at LifeBridge) the preacher read, “Demands of loyalty and obedience”.

And i immediately thought what about demands for generosity, forgiveness, non-judgement, compassion?

Which would a Marketer use to attract “believers”?

David was a narcissist

Notes from Memorial
A note describing a High School teacher who died unexpectedly two weeks ago.

 

David was a narcissist.

He did not go up against Goliath to die.

He must have been full of himself to think he was better at battle than Goliath.

Which question do you say yes to?

100 meter repeats in the dark, except for Coach’s golf cart headlights.

 

High school track at dawn
Almost 7am.

They come prepared to shower and dress for school.

 

  1. Do you plan for the first things in the morning the night before?
  2. Do you plan for the first things after you awake?
  3. Do you plan for the first things after you’ve arrived at work?

All of us probably start at the third question and then have the opportunity to climb the ladder to the second question and then the first.

We also have the prerogative to stay at question three or question two.
