Been asked to do the high school reunion invocation

high school invocation — it’s a small, small world… filled with great spirits

Flying home in three three days for a 35-year High School reunion. Been asked to give the invocation from Jon, a classmate. Once already I’ve suggested he do it. This is the second attempt. Am honored and yet, pulling back…

Jon, woud like to offer you another opportunity to reconsider. You have a marvelous spirit – which humbles me. You and Keith were the only two classmates at my Dad’s funeral. I’ll never forget that. And to hear you were at Jay’s Dad’s too. You are a very special person… and it would be an honor to hear you speak.

What is a Father’s responsibility with Nature Deficit Disorder?

Nature deficit disorder and the prediction that today’s children have a life expectancy five years less than their parents… this would be a good time to think about solutions. Not perfect ones, but better than not doing anything…

Sure, it would be great if there was no controversy over Boy Scouts and acceptance. It would be great if there was no controversy over anything. Like that is ever gonna happen. Go. Take a stand. Do your best. To do your duty. To God and your Country.

And learn how to make a fire to keep yourself alive, using only one match. There can be no mistakes. If the fire doesn’t start, you’ll never see daylight.

What happens when daylight does come, and the economy starts humming along again. It seems far too many of us aren’t spending our time now doing this?

Please don’t use coercion to get me to forward those Christian emails

Yesterday, got one of those “Christian” emails about: “Isn’t it funny how we’ll forward a thousand joke emails to our friends but not forward a Christian email”.

Over the years, forwarding email chains has been discontinued.

Why not send a gift others would want to share for the sheer joy of it, versus coercion?

Hoping we all fully realize our amazing Grace and unlimited potential today, coerced or otherwise.

Is it a travesty when this happens and is it avoidable?

photo of dog playing is clay sand, looking embarrassed — sheesh, this is embarrassing (but important) to say…

Is it a travesty when this happens and is it avoidable?

preaching how we should honor our Father
ignoring the gift of health that our Father has given us
the spiritual leader is grossly overweight
being singularly focused on the mystery of Faith
what about the Faith that maintaining our health metrics honors our creator?

While this may sound hurtful, it’s meant to ask a really important question, “Where do we look for balance in the real world?”

Why you should stop trying to get healthy

Young people will look at us as an example or a warning. An inspiration, or an excuse.

Why should you stop trying to get healthy? Because it doesn’t work. Think about it. Most people (maybe you, and for a long time, me) move in the direction of some plan (sunset), diet, program, gimmick.

Turn around (moonrise) and head the other way… towards purpose, focus, discipline… a different way of life.

Insight: Truly, this is your only hope. Gimmicks and short-term programs fail. Your hope is in making slow and steady changes that come from a sense of purpose.
