Purchased six reams and had them cut in half, for a work project. Meanwhile, smiling from the multi-colored “Sun Rays” at the-photo’s top.
Dr. Robert Enright is a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin and president of the International Forgiveness Institute. He defines forgiveness as:
A willingness to abandon one’s right to resentment, negative judgment, and indifferent behavior toward one who unjustly injured us, while fostering the undeserved qualities of compassion, generosity, and even love toward him or her.
Son, remember, forgiveness sets you free. The devil tempts you with our rights and with undeserving people. Please consider pride and anxiety versus humility and goodness.

This was such a big deal and my patience was put to the test.
Turns out, it was just a button labeled “refresh” that needed to be pushed.
In 18 years as a full-time professional speaker and business advisor, i have never (not a single time) placed my presentation on a thumb-drive and given it to a client to run Disney/my content off of their laptop.
Never.
Ever.
Why?
Because for the first 15 years, it was a Disney Institute standard to protect Disney’s proprietary content and intellectual property.
And – and this is a big and – the reason my presentations didn’t work well on a client’s screen was never (another big word) a fault of my laptop.
i hate being seen as an inflexible and paranoid human being.
But that’s the very role i have to play when push comes to shove.
i was backed into a corner two days ago.
We tried:
Rebooting laptop.
Using my backup laptop.
Replacing their HDMI cable.
Nothing worked.
By the way, for the 45 minutes before AV arrived, everything worked fine. But then the three screens began flickering every few seconds. And to make it more interesting, their laptop’s presentation worked perfectly.
With literally no option but to use their laptop, i reluctantly agreed to waiver (and i hated it) from a non-negotiable standard.
As i loaded the presentation on the thumb drive, the flickering stopped.
Cortney (the junior AV tech) pressed a “refresh button” of some sort and everything worked perfectly.
The photos of Disney Characters and note cards at the top was my way of thanking (and apologizing for high standards) them for staying the course and figuring it out.

What if Christians (and the world) could cut the ties to hypocrisy? Photo: Two nights ago after winning Regionals.
Christians are so flawed.
i’m so flawed.
You’re so flawed, even if you’re not a Christian. Humans are flawed.
The Bible says marriage is between one man and one woman. This has been interpreted to mean any sexuality other than heterosexual is bad.
When married in a Christian Church, marriage vows include, “Until death do us part.” This is interpreted to mean divorce is only plausible with infidelity.
Does an American divorce rate over 50% get immunity from being “bad”?
To me, it seems gays, lesbians, and transgenders are wrongly targeted.
To be fair, shouldn’t the same level of distaste and contempt apply to divorce?
Am i the only one who seems the hypocrisy and injustice here?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to focus on love, compassion, and acceptance?
As long as love drives our life, isn’t everything else just a uniquely individual detail, that no human is qualified to judge?
