Harvest What You’ve Sown

Florida Orange Groves take years to produce a crop…

Winter’s on the down side. Many places call it Spring Fever, and people go on Spring Break…to celebrate, have fun, to break from life’s burdens…

But in life, Winter is death. And death will come to us all.

And it’s what we do with our remaining years – starting this very day – that will signal our celebration, our break, our victory over burdens.

And it starts with the smallest of changes.

Just Another Cab Driver?

Airport Please
Airport Please

They say things happen in threes. Self-fulfilling prophesy probably. All but two of nine cab rides last week netted great mental stimulation. Two rides were less than one mile. We barely got started and the ride was over.

But the last ride (35 min) was with Joe, from Togo (Africa). Joe is the Father of 17, 13 and 9 year old children. He worked in banking before the economy tanked. Charlotte is second (behind New York City) in US finance industry.

Without me asking, he cleared the front seat and invited me up front. Joe is finishing school to become a CPA.

Life gives you in direct proportion what you ask from it. Even if you’re just another cab driver.
