Is it possible to simultaneously represent yourself

What’s gonna happen when one of you has limited time left on Earth?

 

Is it possible to simultaneously represent yourself as a Christian, even if you’re non-denominational and don’t go to Church – is it possible to say you believe in love, kindness, generosity, compassion, hope, faith, forgiveness and yet get angry with blood relatives to the point of being so angry you refuse to talk to each other?

Ask your Son

Spring Grove HS class of 1977
Seven months official notice.

 

Ask your Son.

Ask your wife.

Odds are decent they’ll tell you to go.

You get a handful of these High School class reunions in a lifetime.

If your son plays football, you’ve no doubt seen a couple dozen games from 7th grade to four years worth of college.

Remember, please, after all, it’s your 40th High School class reunion.

Maybe it’s college homecoming. Or a special tribute to the players. could be an insanely good reason to attend the football game.

Knowing in March that Oct 28th is a conflict between your Son’s college football game and your 40th (you caught that, right, 40th?) reunion, and you’re going to pass on the reunion to attend one of four Fall’s worth of college football games? And let’s assume you’ve already attended a dozen or two High School games, ok?

There’s an opportunity to teach a child about childhood relationships. Attending High School reunions is one of them.

My Mom taught and continues to teach me.

What is hidden in the post is the reality that amazing things happen all day, everyday. Do we see them as that?

To the visitors, everything seems so amazing. To locals, just another day in paradise. After the downtown Orlando meeting, made a beeline to Downtown Disney to catch the Spring Grove Area High School (Alma Mater) Orchestra, Band, and Choir in three separate performances. Ally, carrying blue jacket, did all three – a musical “triathlete”.

Three reasons not calling home is important and empowering

Three reasons why not calling home Thanksgiving Day is one of the most important and empowering things for your self-esteem:

1. You realize when the phone doesn’t ring, it’s because no one called.

2. You realize that everyone in the world with a job is busy, especially on Thanksgiving Day.

3. You have an epiphany you wouldn’t have had if you had called.

The holiday epiphany reveals that each person is absolutely as capable and responsible to call as you.

And as a bonus, you understand that whatever your Family circumstances are, everyone may actually be okay with them.

Bottomline: when the phone doesn’t ring on either end, no one needs to feel guilt. Liberating discovery.
