Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the car accident last night

Rear end collision minimal damage
Chris and his wife were ok, as was their jeep.

 

Rear end collision front end damage
Our bumper was too low and wasn’t even scratched, so the hood and radiator absorbed the impact.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the car accident last night. It could have been:

  • Much more damaging to the other vehicle
  • Much more damaging to our vehicle
  • We could have gone from four people with zero injuries to all of us having multiple
  • It could have happened far from home
  • It could have happened at night
  • It could have happened along a dangerous stretch of highway
  • It could have been raining, or snowing (far away from home), or thunderstorms
  • It could have been a brand new driver, at 16, feeling tremendous guilt
  • It could have involved more than two cars
  • It could have taken longer for the tow truck
  • It could have been a nightmare

Thank you for keeping it minor.

What does it mean to let your light shine brightly?

It means a person is so full of gratitude it is impossible for them to conceal it.

The Pareto principle for volunteering

Windermere Prep dog mascot, Willow
Yesterday morning, during an 8-mile run…ran past the High School administration office. Willow (the dog), is the Headmaster’s pet.

 

The Pareto principle for volunteering is interesting.

Refresher: 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort. Another example, 80% of sales come from 20% of the sales team.

First thing in the morning, volunteered to be in a (new to the high school) parent focus group in the morning (90 minutes).

Mid-afternoon, volunteered to meet (and mentor) a former Disney Institute colleague (75 minutes).

Neither time total above includes travel time or preparation thinking time.

Something Magical happened between the two events. It’s at the ‘Next Blog’ hyperlink below…
