What are all the other people called who aren’t “real”

 

Dear Heavenly Father, please bless the pilots and helpers with your wisdom and guidance.

Bless all the travelers and their families with your Grace, Mercy, and Never Ending Love.

Not sure I’m a real person, because being gone for 12 days will test me in ways untested.

Suck it up and don’t complain. Remember?

Will I pray all day long or only when I have time?

Our intentions should be crystal clear, and simple

 

Today is another opportunity to pray all day long.

How do we do that?

Simple.

Practice.

Some solutions or answers are painfully obvious.

And the key is being motivated to practice, otherwise we will find excuses.

Our motivation must be stronger than our excuses.

Ever have a 2am what if moment?

life changing has good and not so good connotations

 

Ever have a 2am what if moment? This morning at 2:18am, Cheryl was not in bed next to me.

A frightening, but unusually calm terror immediately filled my body.

A quick review of Cheryl’s facts – I was groggy:

  • Left work with two colleagues
  • Went straight Orlando Magic basketball game downtown
  • After game, take Robin back to work to get her car
  • Then drop off Molina at Disney’s Grand Floridian
  • Home by 11pm, latest, right?

But it’s 2:18am.

What if she was in an accident? The phone would have rang.

What if she was abducted? The phone wouldn’t ring.

Panic.

I called. No answer.

What if the kidnapper was brutal?

More intense panic.

Why didn’t she call?

Moving to the hall, I called louder downstairs…

Her precious voice. Also sleepy.

Was quietly reminded that the key to peace and contentment, even in the midst of a brutal world, is living each day like it fully counts.

Side note: Yesterday two bombs exploded at the 117th Boston Marathon finish line.
