A woman’s life was in turmoil. Her life was collapsing. She was devastated and angry. Very angry.
As she pulled into her driveway, she sat in her car, cursing at God.
God thanked her, “That’s the first time you’ve ever spoken to me.”
Curse At God?

I Don’t Say This Very Often
Faithful followers can vouch for me, after well over 2,000 jeff noel blog posts, I rarely say this, “You need to watch this.” Besides being one of the world’s shortest sermons at 1:41, it is refreshingly entertaining.
Finishing Strong
At Saturday’s Run Among the Lakes 5k, there was an unexpected surprise.
One of the sponsors, First Baptist Church of Windermere had a booth with free Barnie’s Coffee.
After the 5k race and a Chick-fil-a (another sponsor) breakfast biscuit, I visited the booth for a cup.
That’s where the book, Finishing Strong, caught my attention.
Finishing strong.
What a metaphor for running a 5k.
What a metaphor for life.
The back cover stated, “One man in ten will finish strong. You can be that man.”
One in ten? That’s it? How can it be such a low number?

Letters To God, The Movie
Ever stumble upon something exciting, cool, meaningful?
How does that make you feel? Does it feel like a gift? It might. It really depends on the whole picture.
But what if you can’t see the whole picture? Then what? Does that mean what happened wasn’t meaningful?
On a routine Delta flight yesterday, I met Kim Dawson. We both said, “You look familiar.”
Turns out we attend the same Mass at the same church. Turns out we’re both headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Me, to give a speech that may help change the world.
Kim, to watch a movie that may help change the world.
And one more thing, Kim is the Producer of the movie.
His movie debuts nationwide in two days. He said, “Would you like to come watch it tonight?”
So I wrote a “letter to God”:
“Dear God, thank you for placing this opportunity in front of me. Life on the road is challenging enough, but without proper rest, it becomes even more challenging. May I please do this later?”
My letter to God pales in comparison to the young, cancer-stricken boy who writes Letters to God and the Mailman who has to figure out what to do with them.
