God is everywhere. This is the very reason we see very little of God. We have gotten so used to His glorious beauty, we no longer see it as special, unique, compelling, abundant, free. As Boomers, it’s our responsibility to turn this around.

In order to simplify teaching my son life’s basics, Life’s Big Choices are what Midlife Celebration has categorized as the five big areas requiring great focus, energy and commitment.
Within each category are many decisions. Take our mental responsibility for example: Who will we hang out with? Will we curse, gossip, lie? What will we read? What will we watch? How will we train ourselves to react to life’s never-ending challenges? Will we find the good, or the bad, in every situation? Will we become positive or negative? And so on…
Our mental, physical, spiritual, financial (job) and administrative (paperwork of life) responsibilities comprise Life’s Big Choices.
Choices and decisions are similar yet different. We must choose where we will focus our commitment. We must decide many things that come from those choices.
