Not the photo i wanted to use but it will do for now. Sparing you the story.

What spiritual pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of having a heart that never rests from continuously thinking about better ways to serve where i can and when i can. Church is every step. Nothing fancy. Simply good and decent energy all day, every day.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of: gratitude, surrender, patience, and forgiveness. The pain from emptiness and lack of vibrant purpose.

Hate, when it’s gone

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with the pain.

Time for plan b

Time for plan b.

Ordered a “deluxe” wrist/thumb brace on Amazon yesterday. The wrist inflammation is improving but in hindsight, it’s taking too long. This brace would have been ideal earlier. Better late than never.

Time for (and room for) a second plan b.

Easter.

Two weeks away.

Missing Church because the Covid-19 buzz is distracting our focus on Lent and the Risen Jesus.

Believe in what lights your fire and provides you unexplainable peace – believe in it all the way, as if your life depends on it.

It certainly doesn’t need to be Jesus, but it does need to be something.

If you doubt this now, there will come a time when you are faced with a harsh reality and you are confronting a fear you never imagined. At that moment, you will understand what this post is trying to say.

Victimized by your news feed?

Two days ago this was my office.

Victimized by your news feed?

Have you thought about it?

Is the notion ludicrous?

Does your news feed bring you joy?

Hope?

Faith?

Love?

Maybe it’s time for a change.

Be that change.

Truth and not truth

Truth and not truth.

None of us wants other people telling us what we should or shouldn’t do.

Especially when we were teenagers and adults (parents, teachers, coaches) could, and were expected to, tell us what to do.

And yet.

And yet there have been others who cared enough to share a blind spot i never knew i had.

Of course this is painful.

And once we get past the pain, we are free to transform as we move toward our next birthday.
