Travel overseas...

Give something away...

Laugh...

Cry...

Forgive...

Walk in the woods...

Right Now

Fill in the blank, "Right NOW I need to____________________.

Now go do it.... Right Now

Just be yourself

Have you ever had people try to dictate your who, what, where and why? Maybe you were born with a gene to be a comedian... BE IT!!, a serious person... BE IT!, shy... BE IT!, goofy... BE IT!, etc...
What ever God designed you to be.... BE IT!
Some are leaders and some are followers. Leaders need to lead, with grace and love. Followers need to follow, without compromising their own values.
It take a lot of different moving, and for that matter, still parts to make things work. In a business, school, church, office, etc.
But for goodness sake be JUST BE YOURSELF and allow YOURSELF to shine and be a part of the bigger picture!
You are who you are, if you don't like who you are then find your true self and be them.... It's OK.. JUST BE YOURSELF..
Just A Thought.....

It's all good

Life has been a trip lately. Ton's of challenges for my family. But, it's all good.

Yes, i have been theologically challenged, spiritually challenged, physically challenged, emotionally challenged, beat up, knocked down, pushed down, walked on, laughed at, ticked off, sad, fearful, cowardly, fake, stupid, but its all good.

I haven't really been "following God" like i should, but, it's all good.

I have seen of my friends become silent to me, but its all good.

One thing i know is this. God loves me and his grace has NO opposite.. so, it's all good.

So in the words of Bob Dylan, "It's All good"

More than being.........

In all of us is a survival instinct. Sometimes its all we have. Sometimes its what causes us to just.... well.... be.

Have you ever been there? Just being...............

There is an ancient yet relevant and still living quote "For we live, move, and exist because of him" That was a statement from Paul the Apostle. He was actually quoting a poet from his day and time. He was basically stating.. "Live'.

A good friend of ours that lives in Colorado has taught me so much about the subject of LIVING. Not just being, but living.

Dream? - yes

Walking toward the dream? - Yes

Live... don't just be.

How?

Good question....

Start.....

Go.....

Do......

Just be? - No

Live life

Did You Get It?

Kock, Knock! Who's there? Didya. Didya who.................?
The moment was odd for the lil guy. As I overheard his conversation with his friends. When he got to the punch line, no one laughed. I looked at his expression and could tell that "he" was going to be the punch line if no one laughs. So, I giggled and said, "I get it!" And then I started laughing really hard. Then another kid said, that is so funny! Then another one said, that would make an awesome "redneck joke" for Jeff Foxworthy! I looked back at the eyes of the lil guy and could tell that he felt acomplished.
Why?
Because laughter is more contagious than any other thing in the world. Yet, most of the time we just dont "get it".
I am gonna challange myself to laugh more!
I am gonna try to find comedy, not just on the tv, but in life!
Who knows, maybe we could start a movement called.... well, "Laugh even if it aint funny!"
Oh.... the punch line was "Didya get it?"
Now thats funny right there, I dont care who ya are! :)
