Volunteering Is A Lifestyle

Didn’t consciously think about this until our son was born in 2000.

In studying human nature, I concluded there were several choices:

  1. Volunteering for things that take you away from your Family
  2. Volunteering for things that do not take you away from your Family
  3. Volunteering for a little of both
  4. Not volunteering

This morning, I’m a Lector at our Church. Once or twice a month I have the privilege to read from the Old Testament or the New Testament.

The (two) Lectors act as God’s voice, and read critical pieces of scripture to the congregation.

Our son sees this every time I volunteer. Visible is good. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Two Big Prayers?

Two Big Prayers? Pray that I can achieve the following two impossible goals:

  1. To become the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
  2. That when our son goes looking for Jesus, he’ll only have to look across the dining room table.

Do you have a few really BIG goals in your life? Are you comfortable posting them in the comments section?

Faith, Hope and Love

Faith, Hope and Love.

Profoundly simple and simply profound.

I think about these three concepts constantly. Like my friend asked me last month, “Are you obsessed”? I would have to emphatically say, “Yes”!

Wishing you Peace in your Soul, Joy in your Spirit, and Love in your Heart. Today. All day. And always.
