Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
When we are tired, bored, and feel like we can’t go on.
Count our blessings. We are so lucky to be alive.

It cuts both ways, yet we are rarely conscious of this (sharing another 5-second secret at the Next Blog )
Mardi Gras 2013 began yesterday, and yours truly was there.
Teaching all day inside the Mercedes Benz Super Dome, dinner at The Palace Cafe on Canal Street, beignets for dessert at Cafe Du Monde while sitting on Jackson Square fence, watching Mardi Gras parade pass by.
Heading back to the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, for amusement, we walked a few blocks down Bourbon Street.
What started as a spontaneous moment to stop, step aside, and people watch for a moment morphed into a 30-minute sit-com.
Mesmerizing.
Fascinating, it seemed we (most likely) were the only two sober folks in town.
Alcohol made everyone amazingly brave. But it didn’t make anybody an ounce stronger.

New Orleans is a spirit filled city. Hard to explain what that feels like, but after three recent visits, it’s real.
What is glaring is how the spirits are at extreme ends – Divine presence and the fiery passion of satan.
It feels like a battle ground.
And in some strange way, almost feels like daily living.
Anywhere.

The price of unhappiness just went up for Baby Boomers. Unhappiness has become so expensive these days.
If time is money, and we’re in the shorter half of our lives, doesn’t it make sense that unhappiness is now out of our price range? Who’s got time to be miserable?
Don’t know about you, but theoretically, we’re supposed to be smarter at this age. Spending money time frivolously is immature.

Do you follow certain RS feeds, have email subscriptions to writers and thought-leaders? Me too. Here’s an excerpt from Brian Brooker’s Daily Word email I subscribe to:
“I got a phone call this morning from a dear friend of mine who lives near Orlando, Florida.
He made what I thought was an amazing comment. He said : I like your devotions best when you talk about yourself, because I know you and I want to get to know you better.” That’s what friendship is all about!. . . getting to know each other better.
If we can have this kind of passion to get to know each other better, then shouldn’t we also have the same passion to know our Savior deeply and personally ?
Christ Himself said that this was at the crux of eternal life, knowing “the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou (God) hast sent.”
That was also the heartbeat of the Apostle Paul. He wrote to the church at Philippi “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:8
My friend took a few minutes out of his busy schedule first thing this morning to let me know he wanted to know me better. Should that not be the attitude of every believer? Let our prayer this morning simply that we might know Him”!”
