Don't Kill Thirst

Don’t Kill Thirst

Now that I have your attention, this one thought is important.  Hope you’ll remember it.

Don’t Kill Thirst!

We kill thirst when we punish the one who asks ‘why’. 

We need inquirers.  We need the inquisitive. 

That’s how things get changed. 

We find answers to the ‘whys’ and the ‘why nots’.

Guarantees Are Dead

Guarantees Are Dead

I have no guarantee that I will live for the next five minutes.

Wow!  That will jump start you.

CB and I spent a lovely day together.  We hope for more days like today, but don’t have a guarantee that they will happen. 

So, what did we do?

We leaned into our day.  We held hands.  We talked, laughed, smiled, noticed trees and sunshine, new buildings, an old-fashioned elevator.  We were present for those moments we shared today.

I’m going to lie down in ten minutes and sleep.

If tomorrow, my eyes open, I will rise up, call it a blessing from God, and lean into this new day and live it out loud.

Join me.

Forgiveness Is a Skill

Forgiveness Is a Skill

What an important thought … Forgiveness is a skill.

It’s a muscle that needs exercise.  It needs to be used time and again in this old world. 

Who doesn’t need forgiveness?  Everybody needs it.  I’ve yet to meet the perfect one person. 

Forgiveness incorporates humbleness and grace. 

It is the one act that has great restorative powers. 

May you forgive others and be forgiven of your faults.
