Clever, but why?

Public restroom — Beautiful wallpaper in the Men’s public restroom at the Garden Theater. Good show, as we say at Disney.

public restroom vandalism — Clever, but why? Poor habits?

When your clock sounds the wake-up sound, what do you do?

Your answer reveals much.

Wishing you the best to maintain a great habit or to remedy the underlying cause of a poor habit.

What Church do you go to?

Church is metaphorical for community.

Something was missing in our lives.

In 1999, after 15 years in Orlando – including full-time careers at Disney – something was missing.

i felt what was missing could be found in a Church community.

Told Cheryl, “You’re more Catholic than i am Luthern, and i don’t think God cares, so i’ll turn Catholic.”

After 18 months of official RCIA training, i was confirmed.

Never knew the comforting power of a sense of community, but intuitively i knew it would be better than not having a sense of community.

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning

Hurricane Irma Orlando — Hurricane Irma’s Orlando path. Closest town is Windermere at 2:01AM.

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning, on my knees.

Mornings are busy times for most of us.

It doesn’t take long, and it’s tempting to stop the 18-year daily routine.

In a way, flossing is the same way. It doesn’t take that long, but as one of the last things i do before sleeping, it would be easier to not do it, or at least not do it daily.

Excuse me, is there a plank in my eye?

Orlando tree trimming — The difference is like night and day.

Easter Sunday is tomorrow. Facebook is starting to flood with all the images of Jesus on the cross and all the proclamations of how wonderfully lucky we are to have someone who loves us so much (John 3:16, right?).

Some of my friends and family (and probably some of yours) on Facebook have behaviors that make me question their integrity.

For example:

Harboring resentment and anger towards loved ones.
Talking negatively behind other people’s backs.
Habitually not tapping into the courage and strength we are supposed to be enabled with: “I can do all things through through Christ who strengthens me.”
To blame others and refuse to accept responsibility for consequences made from not addressing things, or from inappropriately addressing things.

i’m no Angel and never will be. i work diligently and open-mindedly to remember that the things i dislike in others are almost certainly the very things i demonstrate to others.

So i faithfully chip away at holding on to anything that feels negative.

There’s the chance some of the bullet points above sound like “talking behind someone’s back”.

i get that, accept responsibility for it, and at the same time, take solace in not naming names. i also find comfort, and motivation, in the serenity prayer.

Does it scare anyone else that our blind spots can be a real turnoff?

Scares the heck out of me.

No in between

child-like wonder — Child-like wonder is a real thing.

Seems as though you bless every dinner before eating or you don’t.

No in between.

What will the youngsters learn from either habit?
