How Can You Tell? – Page 11 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

Aha moment just now…

Team Disney — Beautiful morning for a 10-miler.

Reading the daily email subscription highlighting things Jesus said with a modern day explanation to dissect Jesus’s wisdom, i just had this aha moment.

When we sacrifice what we gain is awareness.

Awareness is key.

The simple awareness – similar to hunger pangs when we haven’t eaten – reminds us of the gifts we have.

i’m grateful for the hunger for something more satisfying than temporary relief.

PS. Ultimately though, Jesus doesn’t desire sacrifice, He desires Mercy.

There is something contagiously different about working with them

ATT Wi-Fi calling registration — If you doubted you would see the morning light, who would you want to talk to for peace and comfort?

There is something contagiously different about working with them.

Who?

Christians.

In 3o years at Disney, i never attended a meeting that embraced using my Christian Faith as a work asset. As one of the most admired (#6 in 2014, #5 in 2015) companies in the world, Disney remained neutral so as to embrace everyone. i totally support that.

However, something wonderfully unexpected has happened. Simply by chance, nearly every company i’ve worked with this year has been an openly Christian-Centered organization.

It is way different. To talk openly about Jesus, God, prayer – wow.

Yesterday, on LinkedIn of all places, had a wonderful message exchange with another Christian centered company. It wasn’t until it was over that it hit me.

A joy and freedom i have never known professionally.

What’s missing seems obvious and invisible depending who you ask

CNN Breaking New Twitter update — Let he/she who has not sinned cast the first stone.

What’s missing seems obvious and invisible depending who you ask. Humans can easily suffer from the overwhelm that surrounds our day to day living and trying to manage it all.

Without a feeling of emotional community nor a reassurance of an omnipotent source of love, we are left lonely and defeated. We need a loyal (to the death) ally.

God? Jesus? Mohammed? Buddha? Nature? What?

Define living in a bubble

Disney's Contemporary Resort — Is Disney “a bubble”? What criteria, and who’s criteria is the correct measure?

A healthcare provider employee and i have known each other for a decade. She works the reception desk that i visit three or four times a year. We always take a few minutes to chat.

With the advent of a new school year, she remarked about how the school our son attends is “a bubble”.

Compared to a public school funded by tax payer dollars, a private college preparatory school may seem elitist.

An American public school in Orange County Florida may seem like “a bubble” compared to most schools in Afghanistan.

Having paved roads, clean drinking water, electricity, cable TV, abundant wifi, democracy, religious freedom, grocery stores, a plethora of medical facilities to choose from and decent healthcare insurance, etc, etc – all of these luxuries may make Americans look elitist.

It really made me feel better (less guilty) about our lot in life.

Is God afraid of new ideas?

Steve Jobs quote — Remember the civil rights struggles that some people died for? Looking back, how could we have been so blind?

God is not afraid of new ideas.

There are plenty in front of the world these days.

Thank you Pope Francis for speaking without fear.

Someday, gay marriage will not be an issue.

Someday, maybe, we will no longer need soldiers.
