Choosing is ridiculously easy

Glad it wasn’t raining when Shaun arrived.

 

Every human is capable of great compassion or great indifference.

So powerful.

So easy for us to choose.

The easy choice is to do nothing.

Ridiculously easy.

May each of us grow into a life of compassion, in spite of the easy road, and the tempting choice of indifference.

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.

Go, experiment

Catholic Mass
Yesterday morning at 8:45am Mass.

 

Cheryl just returned from a two week Disneyland business trip. Most teenagers wouldn’t miss Mass if they didn’t go.

Saturday night i gave them the option to join me yesterday. Both declined.

Going solo, my seat choice was very different.

i love experimenting.

How many (simple) ways are there to increase our Faith?

What happens when you leave?

Last night while surfing Disney Institute’s website. It’s easy to leave the Church too.

 

Cheryl went to work yesterday (Sunday) morning because her workload is intense right now. (She also worked all day Saturday too.) Our Son and i went to Mass in the morning. Later in the day i asked him to shape his opinion of Christians based on the ones who seem less hypocritical.

Dear Son, anywhere you want

Holy Family Church Orlando
For years we sat front row, left.

 

Yesterday morning i asked the 15- year old, “Where do you want to sit? We can sit anywhere.” Because we arrived 20 minutes early, our choices were endless.

He picked the very last row.

International Graphic Designer on your team?

The check arrives this morning from Canada (lower left corner). The engagement is later this month.

 

Met with my International Graphic Designer for lunch yesterday. It was great to catch up face-to-face. Imagine having someone with seven years of full-time International reach with their graphic design work, but they are unable to share their work with prospective clients because they were a contracted employee – for one of the world’s most admired companies.

i asked her how many of her clients pay her in advance.

“None, you’re the only one”, she said.

Insight: If i always expect to get paid in advance, why would i not do the same for the people i hire?

If you want blessings, give blessings freely.

It’s good (midlife) karma.
