Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Got Christmas? It’s not for another 2 1/2 months. Who’s got time to focus on Christmas, right?
What if we did have time to focus on Christmas? I mean, not just in December, but more often. Way more often.

PS. Merry Christmas. 🙂
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.
Why do I write five blogs every day?
Not sure exactly. Trying to figure it out actually.
Maybe this is why:
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For whatever measure you use, it will be measured to you”. — Luke 6:38
There’s a part of me that (probably falsely) believes if I pour myself out to try to make the world a better place, in my own small way, that God will protect my Family. Sort of like a trade off.
I pay the price to try to help others, so that my Family will receive whatever help it needs.
That was really sort of weird to write that. Not sure I like how it sounds. Maybe I shouldn’t post it.
For now, I will. I’m more afraid of not trying, than I am of making mistakes. This may be a mistake, but at least I tried.
Today may be a great day for you to try. Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
