Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born without eyes, legs that don’t work and arms that barely work. Imagine his parents surprise and subsequent life challenges. Imagine Patrick’s life challenges.
Imagine your own.
Debbie, our dearly beloved colleague and friend, we miss you already and we don’t understand why you had to leave so soon.
I hope we all meet again on “the other side”. Offering this personal video I shot during Easter as a final tribute to your final destination, wherever that might be.
Death is part of life. It just is. Death arrives all the time. Every day.
Some deaths are a blessing. Some are tragic and break our hearts – so much so that we wonder if our heart will ever heal.
Mostly, I think, it’s the senseless deaths and the sudden deaths that hurt the most and cut the deepest.
Like yesterday.
A Facebook update brought the news that a longtime colleague and friend died yesterday. Apparently, complications from a routine colonoscopy. Debbie was 43.
As I upload a You Tube video from the backseat of the car, in my son’s school parking lot, I’m reminded of how fragile life is, what a gift it is, and how our friends can touch us with the character of their lives.
I’ll post the video here later today probably. I shot it April 1 this year. It’s a Brooks & Dunn song, sung by a young man born with no eyes, and legs that don’t work.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. Facebook.
Of all places to receive a message as important, and graphic, as this. Too many of us, myself included are too distracted while driving.
(The video is very graphic, but exceptionally important. Use your judgement in viewing.)
The cab driver a few days ago told me that a man had been killed just an hour before picking me up. His SUV and a Tractor Trailer collided and he was thrown from his vehicle. And yesterday, a woman from the UK told me you get arrested if you’re caught using a cell phone while driving. Maybe this will convince Americans to “wake up”. Maybe not. What do you think?
Thank you to the 1,700 Families that pledged $30 a month to allow Central Florida listener-supported radio station 88.3 to reach their goal.
And thank you to all the Families that couldn’t pledge with money, but are pledging their prayers.
This radio station touches every listener’s heart.
You know this if you listen.
You doubt this if you don’t.
It’s just human nature.
Being on the road for five days this week was rewarding and taxing. Unless you do this frequently, it may be challenging to understand, but I hope you do, because it’s the challenging part I want to relate to you.
We are all faced with daily challenges. One person’s small challenge is another’s big challenge.
This will seem small in comparison to life-threatening issues, but herein lies a secret.
Being crazy-busy does not give us an excuse to be unfaithful.
So in picking up our son, late yesterday, as we got in the car, it hit me. I had not been on my knees in prayer yet. Each morning, it’s the same:
“Do you mind if I do it now”, I asked him. “No, I don’t mind”, he said.
