Life is beautiful and we won’t be shaken from the $5 table

The closest GameStop didn’t have what we wanted, so plan B became this store

 

Walking out of GameStop after the teen’s purchase, noticed a Family Christian Store through the trees across the parking lot (rarely shop, and had never seen this area near the Mall).

Had been wanting to get Mandisa’s new CD, Overcomer. Also got Steven Curtis Chapman’s latest and these from the $5 table:

The Afters: Life Is Beautiful, Building 429: We Won’t Be Shaken.

What’s the point of this post? Even the smallest, uneventful of adventures can yield unexpected joy.

Jesus, a couple thoughts

Brilliant Florida sunrise near Disney
Each new day is a miraculous gift, and we only get so many in our lifetime

 

Jesus, a couple thoughts:

  1. I do not want anything to come between us
  2. I do not want to hold anything back from you
  3. I do not want to hold anything back from the world
  4. I want to give all honor and glory to you Lord
  5. I want to use up everything you have provided

A humble servant?

Jesus, with every breath, I strive to serve humbly.

Was the 34-year wait worth it?

Lahti, Finland streets at dawn
It has been a long, quiet and often lonely journey

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing the catalyst for personal responsibility transformation to the production phase.

Was the 34-year wait worth it?

In many ways Father, this is Your will, not mine.

The pressure to do things well tempts us to not

No bright colors, but amazingly colorful in such a subtle way

 

The pressure to do things well tempts us to not. At a certain point a startup (or anyone) has to make decisions that what they have is good enough to ship.

Because shipping eventually becomes more important than perfection.

With yesterday’s manuscript review in hand, Xulon Press made an offer for a copyediting service (for an additional fee).

The choice is have a book in hand (for sale to the world) by Thanksgiving but with potential errors. Or have a flawless book that might not be for sale until the end of the year.

Praying for wisdom and courage.
