Pick YOU

Pick YOU

Ten years ago, nobody was calling me up asking for my blogs?  I had to pick myself to be the one to start that venture. 

Oh, I had doubts and fears.  But as Suzy Kassem says,

“Doubts kill more dreams 

than failure ever will.”

Sometimes, we pick ourselves, what interests us, and our strong desires, simply because we need to express ourselves.  And at times, we pick ourselves simply because a thing needs to be done.  It demands to be done.

Don’t wait to be picked.

Pick Yourself!

I Know Fear and I Know Peace

I Know Fear and I Know Peace

I know fear when being shaved in preparation for heart surgery.

I know fear when having an angiogram to look at my heart blockage.

I’ve known other fears.

And in the middle of those fears, I know and have known peace from the God of my understanding.

And HIS peace trumps all fears.

Sometimes We Try Again

Sometimes We Try Again

When things go wrong, it’s easy to walk away.  If we say something that is disagreeable, it’s easy to never want to speak up again.  If we write a song no one listens to, it’s easy to quit writing songs.

Ah … but to try again and again.  To keep experimenting with our voice, our tools, our talents and our ideas.  That is the key to becoming a contributor to life.

Will you and I dare to try again and again?

Lessons from a Dropped Ball

Lessons from a Dropped Ball

There is something to be learned even in a dropped ball.  Baseball is all about what you do with the ball, and that includes catching, hitting, snagging and throwing it.  We don’t usually think of a dropped ball as a lesson opportunity.

However …

Perhaps, it teaches something about the coach, the leader, the teacher as much as about the player.  Baseball coaches don’t go into coaching Little League expecting every player to be perfect, make every catch and hit a homerun every time.

They know losses, dropped balls and missed swings are part of the process.  It’s all a learning curve.  You teach the how’s and why’s of the game. 

And you let the player who fumbled back on the field to try and try again. 

It’s a process … catches and fumbles, dropped balls and strikeouts.
