Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
That’s all that has do be done. Just pick up the phone and call. So why haven’t I?
Probably the same reason they haven’t done it.
So who’s right? Is there even a right or wrong? Seems irrelevant. So who’s going to make the first move?
Ever feel like this scenario? Any advice to people (me) who have a challenging habit of not staying in touch?
Six months ago, I accepted our Pastor’s challenge to start everyday on my knees. Our Pastor would ask the congregation every Sunday, “How many of you started the day on your knees”?
Literally, no one’s hand went up. Over 1,000 people and no one? Impossible.
So, on April 1, 2009, I started. It’s been six months and I haven’t stopped. Does this make me a righteous person. Not even close.
Does it make me more mindful of each day being a special gift and privilege? Absolutely.
What’s stopping you? Seriously. How hard is it to do this every day. It isn’t. Which brings us back to the original point.
It’s been six months. And six months from now, it will have been a year. Six months from now will mean what to you?
WWJD. What would Jesus do? Most are familiar with this.
Because my mind works in mysterious ways, this acronym could also have a second meaning:
What would jeff do? No one is familiar with this.
That’s okay. As long as it means something to me (everyday), then the odds increase that better choices are made. One day at a time. Always an eye on the future. Always a reflection on the past. But mostly, carpe diem.
What do you do every day, to get and stay focused – in the moment to moment opportunities that today brings you?
You are preparing for this TODAY, right?
Sundays during the school year, our Church offers Children’s Liturgy of the Word for Kindergarten through fifth grade. Two or three adult leaders form a team and lead a particular week each month.
The volunteer leaders perform various functions to help bring Mass down to an Elementary level and to engage the children differently (better) than the adult Mass.
My wife, a good friend, and I, lead 50-100 children through Children’s Liturgy every the fourth Sunday.
This past Sunday, for a variety of reasons, my wife Cheryl led it solo. Sixty-five children in all. She said they were incredibly well behaved. If you’ve never done this, you’d be amazed at how challenging it is.
We began volunteering in this ministry several years ago after a parishioner made a plea for more volunteers or the program would end.
Funny how life puts things in your path. This experience has me delivering homilies (sermons). Who would have ever thought? Me? You’ve got to be kidding.
This rendition of our National Anthem deserves your attention.
Why? Because five little girls will make your heart stop and tears flow, but only if you appreciate being an American Citizen and only if you have a great spirit of Love:
Enjoy your Freedom today. Many years ago, people came to our Country with a dream. Thank you, five young ladies, for reminding us.
