Is the Christian CPA tempted by money?

Met him yesterday and we spoke for two hours.

The initial thought in visiting his spacious office was the size of his overhead:

Real estate across the street from Universal Studios. A small staff of tax professionals and a receptionist, plus his salary.

Praying that he’s never tempted by money.

Dear Son, don’t let this temptation stop you

Parking lot
Qdoba’s parking lot is microscopic compared to the local Theme Park parking lots.

 

Dear Son, don’t let this temptation stop you.

Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can.

Man outside of Qdoba last night: Hey buddy, I’m kinda homeless, can you spare anything?

Dad exiting with his dinner to go: Sorry, i don’t carry cash.

Man: Ok, thanks anyway.

Dad, walking to parking lot turns around and goes back to the man: Have you eaten dinner today?

Man: No.

Dad, explaining it’s a simple children’s chicken quesadilla meal, with chips and guac.

Man: I don’t want to take your dinner.

Dad: i can buy another one.

Man: Gratefully accepts the to-go bag, grabs his small backpack, and walks away.

Dad, returning to his car notices the cashier who rang up his meal – she was watching the whole thing go down.

She seemed surprised. And maybe a little heart warmed.

So what benefited two, actually had a ripple effect for a third.

Unintentional.

That’s how powerful actions are.

Intended or otherwise.

Crossroads – the metaphor for where we are and the decisions before us

Not LaGuardia or Toronto, for sure

 

Dear Son, last night’s talk may be forgotten years from now, however, it is the hottest topic we’ve talked about in a while.

Crossroads.

The metaphor for where we are and the decisions before us.

The fact that we only have 36 hours together in a 13-day window will challenge our creativity.

Return from Winnipeg one day, pause at home one day, leave again in a few hours for Halifax.

Real life in real time.

Insight: Excuses be damned.
