Clutter steals our joy

Pennsylvania Fall foliage
Where are we going today?

 

Clutter steals our joy.

Clutter invisibly manifests itself into the fabric of our lives because we think being organized is the way to conquer clutter.

The reality is clutter comes from time pressure, obligations, and lack of purpose.

When we are stressed and metaphorically don’t know where we are going, we guess. Guessing is not an effective way to thrive.

Clutter kills our spirit

Five bucks to “get into Disney” last night.

 

Clutter kills our spirit.

This inspired me to up my game at downsizing the clutter in my life.

No one builds a reputation on their intentions

Homemade stir fry
Yesterday morning i didn’t tell Cheryl i was making stir fry for dinner. Instead, i texted a photo at dinner time.

 

A person who is well has no need for a physician. Was reminded shortly after waking this morning that Jesus came to help the poor in spirit.

In a hard-to-explain way, i write to do the same thing.

Our son (15) began blogging again last night after a two-year hiatus. But first he deleted every post he wrote since 2008. i told him not to announce that “I’m blogging again, blah, blah, blah”.

Rather, i suggested that he write, and at some point in the future announce it.

Don’t tell us what you’re gonna do. Tell us what you’ve done.

No one builds a reputation on what they’re gonna do.

The gateway to hell

High School Safety Assembly
Yesterday morning 8:30 – 9:30am in the Gym.

 

High School Safety Assembly
True story.

 

High School Safety Assembly
The last bullet point is the issue.

 

High School Safety Assembly
The media, and the law, send mixed messages. Alcohol is also legal.

 

High School Safety Assembly
It will never happen to me. I’m immune from peer pressure.

 

High School Safety Assembly
Ninth, 10th, and 11th graders, plus faculty, staff, and maybe 10 parents.

 

High School Safety Assembly
One poor choice. We can control our actions, but we cannot control the consequences.

 

Alcohol and weed are the gateway to hell.

Yesterday’s High School assembly (parents invited) was led by Orlando Firefighter and paramedic Pat Kelly.

Homecoming weekend is two days away.

Praying we don’t lose a student(s) to poor choices.

Theoretically, this is a trick question.
