Dear Prayer

Disney Leadership Speakers — Two days ago, September 9, 2016. (i know this will post Dec 11, 2016.

Dear Prayer,

i distinctly remember how overwhelmingly full Church was on Sunday September 16, 2001.

They say attitude is everything. Cliche, right?

On that Monday after 9/11, with a tone of unease, many colleagues remarked how crowded their Church was – what with all the inconveniences from chaotic parking, seating, exiting. Not to mention the subtle distaste (i felt from their tone) they harbored for fair-weather Christians.

And yet i couldn’t help but rejoice in this vision:

Wouldn’t it be great if Church was like that every Sunday? Why, we’d have to build or enlarge so many more Churches to accommodate the overflowing capacity. Wouldn’t that be glorious?

Dear running

Runners on red dirt road — Photo taken an hour after today’s post was written.

Dear running,

If i remember this correctly, we met when i was 10 years old on the Thomasville Elementary School playground in 1969. Apparently i, like every other child on the playground, was too impatient to walk between playground apparatus so we ran.

But it was that one fateful morning when the Physical Education teacher took my class of 5th graders to the parking lot to time each child in the 50-yard dash that something changed.

Unbeknownst to me, i learned that day that out of the 30 other children in class, the teacher said i had the fastest time.

This was the day i learned about attitude.

Thank you.

Dear Future me

Teen running red dirt road — No regrets. Being active as a 57-year old allowed me to be his running partner at the start.

Dear Future me,

Don’t think you have forever to do all the things in life you want to do.

You will be wise to eliminate these three reactionary excuse starters:

i shoulda
i coulda
i woulda

Looking back and regretting something that you should have done, could have done, or would have done – ugh, now that is a terrible ending to your life’s story.

Find a million ways to figure this out.
