Lord, please grant me the wisdom to know the difference

Rode past and then circled back to capture the moment.

 

Homeless people near Universal Studios
Can you imagine? No judging.

 

Life can be overwhelming.

No secret there.

Today, may we all be able to discern what we can do and what we are powerless to do.

And may any glimpse of wisdom help us find solace in an Earthly world that will always have stormy weather.

Dream no small dreams.

i dream of going to Heaven.

That’s as big a dream as i can dream.

i pray and hope (and dream) that my Father-In-Law (91) is destined to see his dream come true in the coming days and weeks.

Some days it doesn’t happen in the morning

10 grade XC runner
Three days ago he had multiple reasons to quit, but he finished anyway.

 

Some days it doesn’t happen in the morning; writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts every day.

Everyday for 7.3 years.

Normally, all five are written before sunrise.

On those days when the pressure of a busy schedule is higher and the duration is long, i’m tempted to finally make an exception to the not missing a single day part.

But i don’t succumb.

Ever.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Is there Island time in Heaven?

Island time helps you notice things you normally don’t.

 

Is there Island time in Heaven?

Gonna go with, “Yes, all the time.”

Particularly tough reading coming up this Sunday.

So tough in fact, the temptation to request a substitute (reserved for when you’re sick or on vacation) has crossed my mind more than once.

Why exactly?

The scripture is “like speaking in tongues”.

The whole section in Galatians Chapter two makes sense, but the reading is only a snippet. So context and framing aren’t possible.

It will be entirely up to voice tone, pace, and pauses in order to make it work.

And what many don’t realize, the preparation for that, in and of itself, is a lot of work.

Note to jeff (me whispering to me): “Hey dude, it’s what you signed up for.”
