Dear Son – Page 73 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

Dear Heavenly Father, please keep the devil off my back

Lifebridge Church Windermere — There is much to be gained from reading word for word, and much to be lost.

When you hope a teenager is inspired and they tell you honestly they aren’t – it’s time for Grace and time for being non-judgemental (of the speaker).

“Maybe they asked him last night to fill in, or maybe only a few days ago. Maybe he doesn’t speak often.”

Resist the temptation to judge.

Resist at all costs.

Don’t. Do. It.

Critiquing a speaker for me is the same as a chef visiting a restaurant when they’re hungry. It’s literally impossible to not make a judgement with the first bite of every food item on her plate – she can’t help herself, it’s in her blood. It’s automatic. And human.

It’s instinctual to help us survive.

Should i spit this out because it’s awful?

Do i want to come back because it’s so amazing?

What was once impossible becomes a warmup

Apple iPhone stopwatch — Old lifetime best was 31:35

What was once impossible becomes the warmup.

It happened to me and it will happen to you, but not if you quit.

It was much worse than i thought

It was much worse than i thought. Dear son, it’s difficult to imagine a tragedy being any worse than it first seems, but sometimes, it happens.

Every one of us is in one of three places in life: currently going through a hell no one knows about, just came out of a hell no one knew about, or about to go into a hell no one will know about.

Be kind to everyone.

Include yourself.

We lost a friend, colleague, coach and teacher over the weekend

Epcot water bridge — Little did i know yesterday morning during a run that this photo would be a symbol of hope. It’s speculated we pass through some sort of light on our way to the afterlife.

We lost a friend, colleague, football coach and art teacher over the weekend. He was in his 40’s with no warning signs. He leaves behind his wife and 10th-grade daughter.

At 16, our Son has reached a stage in life were these realities are starting to catch his attention.

Someone who “shouldn’t have” died, died for no apparent reason and without any warning.

Not fair.

Painful.

The school counsellors shared this resource via email last night.

The stages of grief that you may see in your child are:

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

Please go here for more details about these stages and what to expect.

It is a solemn reminder of life’s fragile nature.

May Brad Ramsey’s Family find enough comfort and peace surrounding them to heal their broken hearts.

Dear Son, thank you for running for you

Waiting at the one and two miles marks (20 feet apart) to call out splits, i saw Isaiah 30:15.

Passion and purpose take many forms.

Doesn’t matter what we choose, as long as we choose.

Thank you for choosing to accept and believe the reason you are running is because you want to, not because you think i want you to.

Thinking and believing with conviction is at the heart of a life with fewer regrets – and possibly at the end, zero regrets.
