HE is Risen, spirit

Food for Families 2018 — Since 1999 we’ve volunteered every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter mornings. The exceptions are when we visited family in Pennsylvania. Somewhere around 2018+- we discontinued this Family tradition.

We imprinted ‘helping those less fortunate’ three times a year as our son went from diapers to High School.

The places and people we met while delivering food boxes are different from the places and people we know.

There is no class or video that remotely compares to seeing and feeling things with your own two eyes and heart.

Purge like you mean it, spirit

Purge: To rid, clear, or free.

Spiritually.

Going through a lifetime of Disney paperwork, still.

Have done it many times, over my life.

Similar to the physical ‘paper logs’, there isn’t much spiritual paperwork. This too feels freeing. As if the unknown gamble paid off.

Love that i had deep faith in the concept of purging “stuff”.

A good day for a Friday, spirit

church bulletin story screenshot — The yellow box inspired the post below…

John 3:16

Saved a short article from a 20-year old church bulletin, just read it, and now this thought…

Article entitled, “Why Parables?”

Jesus spoke in parables because “people look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding”.

Back to John 3:16.

“There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another.”

But what if it means to lay down our old life to save our own life?

Give me some good news, spirit

texting — Meet at Church? Which Church? Doesn’t matter. Remember, every step is Church. Any day. Every day. How’s that for some good news!

Give you some good news?

Sure.

Tomorrow is Good Friday.

Spoiler alert…

HE is Risen!

Ownership determines motivation, spirit

map of East Coast USA — Rough outline of my 1982 bicycle trip. It was three weeks and 1,100 miles from Philadelphia to Walt Disney World. Not the original vision. The original vision was to head West once in the Autumn warmth of ‘the South’ and then head North upon reaching the Pacific, to Washington State. My best friend lived in Pullman as a Residence Hall Director at Washington State University.

Ownership is what you learn after you think you’ve learned it all.

Take my 1982 solo, cross-country bicycle trip.

As a former Boy Scout, i learned and embraced the Scout motto, “Be prepared”.

Planned for everything.

Including what i’d need to do when my $75 cash ran out, and no credit card for a backup.

Felt locked and loaded when i left Philly and headed South.

But, i didn’t know i needed to plan for this…

Imagine no one is in a forest and a tree falls. Does it make any noise?

Now imagine seeing so much beauty on the top of the Skyline Drive, with the Shenandoah Valley shrouded in a blanket of low clouds and above the clouds stunning, peak Fall foliage. But i’m alone.

With no one to share the extraordinarily beautiful view with me, is it really that beautiful?

Insight: The answer is no.
