Praying we’ll find this blogging journey interesting enough to inspire our own amazing journey “come to life”. In two days (April Fool’s Day), I will quietly reach a milestone of the most unusual kind. Writing five daily blogs for 1,460 straight days.

Remember all those childhood dreams we said we wanted to do when we grew up? We should do some of them. I mean, before we die.

I’m stealing this from him

intriguing Biblical message
shhh, don’t tell God that you know this

 

I’m stealing this from him and he won’t even miss it. I asked a hotel employee who was servicing our classroom breakfast how he was doing.

He said in reply without skipping a beat, “Better than I deserve“.

Blogging on my back, lying in bed – a first

Blogging on my back, lying in bed – a first. Who gives a crap right? Exactly. No one. And yet I carry on anyway. (note to self: that’s a really significant life success factor, don’t cha know!)

Dear Heavenly Father, please comfort and assist the people who need you so much more than I do tonight.

If my biggest worry tonight is not missing a day of blogging, then, well, I’m on easy street.

Why did the Sandy Hook tragedy happen a few days ago? (part 2)

Why did the Sandy Hook tragedy happen a few days ago? (part 2)

Truth be told, it’s a Monday morning as I write this. Lots to do before a 20-day vacation that starts in three days.

The first thought this morning revolves around yesterday’s last two bullet points.

Somewhere in the midst of Sandy Hook’s horror, is our own horror nerve ending being exposed.

There are things in our life we need to stop. These things are a tragedy. And we’ll live with regret if we don’t change…

Why did the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy happen?

last night the Christmas show brought tears to my eyes, just three days after Sandy Hook

 

Why did the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy happen a few days ago?

I don’t know.

No one can say for sure.

They can’t.

And even if a note is found (and maybe there has), and the killer wrote a reason, are we really going to believe it to be the gospel truth?

Seriously?

And here’s my first take after only three days since the tragedy:

  • may overwhelming love comfort the Families directly and indirectly impacted
  • may the media stop feeding the frenzy and hysteria of negativity, and blame
  • may everyone pause, for longer than we have in years, and look in the mirror
  • may we ask ourselves to be this concerned over the small, unrecognizable, daily tragedies in that mirror
  • may people reading this have the patience to figure out what I just said…
