Give Kids The World?

We're Going To Disney World!
We're Going To Disney World!

Traveling recently in Delta Airline’s first class cabin, there was an empty (very rare) seat next to me and behind me. Cabin door is closed. Cool, extra room, I thought.

Next thing you know, the guy behind me comes up and takes the empty seat next to me, leaving his row empty.

My surprised look prompted his explanation, “There’s a Give Kids The World Child and her Mother that are being upgraded”.

Our plane is headed to Orlando, with all the world-class theme parks. What should I do? What would you do?

Many Things Are Hard To Understand
Many Things Are Hard To Understand

James Bain spent 35 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. Can you even begin to imagine what kind of hell that must have been? New DNA evidence proves he has been innocent. For 35 years.

Yesterday’s Orlando Sentinel article tells a brief story and shares video of James.

Can we all be kind enough to pause today, and perhaps in the coming days as well, and pray for James and his Family. There is no way to make up 35 lost years.

Can you imagine? What would you do? What do you hope for James?

Who Knew?

What catches your eye, makes you pause, provides a laugh, an “aha moment”, an insight, a doubt, or a sign?

Are these things even on your radar? Probably, if you’re like most people. This car was about a soccer field away from the Scout Store, where I was sitting on the steps with Cooper (our Dog).

Some people wear the Jesus bracelet WWJD, the crucifix, have the Jesus Loves You bumper sticker. And then there’s the car. Who knew?
