Yesterday In The Subway Line
When was the last time you felt Divine providence? Anyone in the last 18 hours?
Eat fresh, right? Jared, the Subway sandwich guy lost a gazillion pounds eating fresh. The lunch time line was long.
Had iPad in hand, to do some work and remain productive.
After ten minutes in line, the tall man behind me says, “How do you like your iPad”.
Eric (the tall man), a former Youth Pastor, and now a Church founder, was visiting from Texas for some leadership training here in Orlando.
Listening to Eric’s story as we waited our turn to pay, it was astonishing to hear that he fasted for 40 days, and God led him to start a Church.
WOW!
Start a Church.
Make no small plans people.

And something about going back alone, to remind you of the early years.

Dear Son
Randy Pausch, who wrote The Last Lecture, and shortly thereafter, died, wrote a book about living while he was dying.
I’m writing a book about living while I’m living.
We are all dying, son, it’s simply a fact of life.
Leave a trail for your Family. That’s what I’m doing for you, son.
Yesterday, as my crazy mind was racing, I recalled Randy’s life, his book, and both touched my soul and inspired me, as well as countless millions. And the sad fact that his “anniversary” is soon – July 25. Two years ago Randy left his earthly life.
Somehow, I recalled the cassette tapes I used to make for your Mother. I’d pour over our CD collection, for hours, and create loving tributes for your Mom.
Must have been five or six tapes total. Most likely over 100 of the best Love songs ever written. Most of them Country songs, and most of them obscure songs, meaning they weren’t hits or mainstream.
Here’s one of them, called “Living In A Moment (You Would Die For)”:
