Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave, but not this…

Mardi Gras 2013 began yesterday, and yours truly was there.

Teaching all day inside the Mercedes Benz Super Dome, dinner at The Palace Cafe on Canal Street, beignets for dessert at Cafe Du Monde while sitting on Jackson Square fence, watching Mardi Gras parade pass by.

Heading back to the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, for amusement, we walked a few blocks down Bourbon Street.

What started as a spontaneous moment to stop, step aside, and people watch for a moment morphed into a 30-minute sit-com.

Mesmerizing.

Fascinating, it seemed we (most likely) were the only two sober folks in town.

Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave. But it didn’t make anybody an ounce stronger.

Win or lose, love unconditionally, right? Even in the championship game.

 

It makes sense, right, relationships should be 50/50.

That’s the cliche.

And maybe that’s been our problem all along.

Hold on, hear this one out…

What if it was 100/0?

Isn’t that what love is about? Loving unconditionally – 100%.

Why has it taken so long for someone to brand this?

Pray all day, everyday, to be a little more selfish

We are taught to pray for others. But little emphasis to start with ourselves. Why? Because it seems selfish to put ourselves first?

Yet isn’t it necessary to take care of ourselves so we can take care of others?

Praying for strength, courage, and wisdom to be more self-centered today.
