Not pushing Jesus on you

College buddy at Walt Disney World
Dear Son, have a few great friends from your HS and College years. Yesterday met up with Rick and his wife Jacquelyn – Mom and i have known them since 1979.

 

Told our Son last night, “You have to come to your own conclusions about how to live your life and what components of your life will be the most important.

Here are a couple hints:

  • Eventually your goal is 100% conviction
  • Balance mind, body, spirit, money, and hq
  • Be so convinced you would defend your convictions with your life
  • Be sure your convictions bring you: peace in your soul, joy in your spirit and love in your heart

And finally, you’ll want to arrive at a place where everyday, you are living in constant gratitude and if today was your final day, you’d be at peace.

It’s so obvious it eludes us

We will be having dinner as an invited Guest tonight.

A few days ago at Sunday Mass, our Priest shared that Parishioners are invited to have dinner in celebrating the end on Ramadan.

Our Son expressed interest in going (i asked first and he said yes).

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The overwhelming similarity is Love

Same message – an overwhelming message of Love.

 

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me today to be kind and generous and patient. And help me to be forgiving, and loving. Help me to be a light for others. Help me radiate Your warmth, your compassion and your mercy.

And help me to be Your voice that encourages others to transform their situation.

On Facebook, a friend wrote that “people who tell others that they can do anything are cruel, just visit a rehab facility”.

Some, in that very same rehab facility need to hear that they can transform.

Yes, a difficult balance in messaging versus audience.

What we say may overwhelm some, while for others what we say is the perfect encouragement.

Please help me to understand the difference.

Holding on and letting go

One is missing, but only because he was taking the photo.

 

Email from college buddy yesterday. One of our Fraternity’s (Pennsylvania Tau chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon) founding fathers (of which 36 of us form a special bond) left our earthly world for the next stage in his life.

Jim Powell was a good, decent, and gentle man.

He was 58.

Cancer forever changed the destiny of his life.

None of us ever expect to have to fight cancer.

If cancer does knock on our door, how will we move forward?
