Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.

Love Delta Airlines? Yes!!
Love the unusually loud and high pitched sound inflight from MSP to PDX for three hours yesterday? No.
Tried many things, unsuccessfully.
Then the lightbulb moment.
Chewing gum.
Had to chew a second round for the other ear.
No one knew.
The ease in which bad mouthing the airline could have spewed forth was staggering.
But it didn’t. Not even for a second.

Is it possible that when we are angry and unwilling to forgive someone could it really be possible that we are actually angry with ourselves?
If we are unwilling to forgive ourselves, we will never be able to forgive others.
We unknowingly channel our discontent with ourselves into our outward behaviors to others.
Wish it wasn’t true.
The only antidote is to accept this, admit it, spend serious time (possibly years) rethinking, reprioritizing, and then recommitting to forgiving ourselves.
World class forgiveness is the only way to free ourselves. For good.

Being broken and beautiful applies to every single person ever born.
That’s good news because it reminds us (if we live relatively undistracted) everyone is fighting a tough battle.
Lead with forgiveness and gratitude.
This solves everything, even the things we cannot solve.

One weakness or area of opportunity is eliminating an insidiously natural suspicion about someone – someone who is physically bankrupt, but (apparently) an amazingly strong spiritual human being.
It’s such an astonishing and obvious disconnect.
How does a Godly person perversely neglect the temple housing everything that keeps them alive?
Anyone else?

Drunk driver killed high school classmate Keith’s son three days ago.
Just found out last night it took hours to remove Sam from the car.
And his Dad’s ribs are crushed, punctured lung, internal bleeding and multiple other injuries.
Feeling tested here.
Anyone else feeling that?
Despise the driver or forgive the driver?
Curse the driver or pray for the driver?
Oh my gosh, the list of people to pray for seems endless.
Road closed for hours. Not a lot of roads on the Hawaiian Islands. What repercussions from that put other Families or other emergency situations in critical situations?
Was there a bartender who could’ve stopped serving sooner?
Was the intoxicated driver angry at someone or something and got drunk because of it?
What happens when Keith becomes conscious for the first time and realizes Sam is gone?
Pray for the quick responders at every stage of Keith’s rescue?
Pray for the world to have zero tolerance for drinking and driving? Zero.
