Not trying to change your mind

Jeremy Camp tragedy
This is Jeremy Camp’s story. It was in losing the love of his life at 23 and “still believing” that intrigued me to buy his album. That song (and album) strengthened my belief.

Not trying to change your mind. Trying to offer you a legitimate option for your spiritual and emotional core.

Had a revelation yesterday while listening to the Jeremy Camp song, My Father’s Arms, at the gym. What if your Dad is no longer living. What if your Mom is also gone.

What if you are desperate for a trusted, loving, compassionate soul to talk to?

i challenge you to listen to this Jeremy Camp album and not see how the lyrics point to the only thing i know of (from 60 years on our planet) that will comfort you in the deepest and darkest life moments.

Here’s the short story of the title track. It wasn’t going to be on the album…

Give Kids The World.

It serves an incredible mission.

Don’t forget, parents with non-terminally ill children, you should be giving your kids the world too.

Please don't tell me

On the edgy side of Christmas

anger
Anger serves no one. Surrender and forgiveness serves everyone. Tweet screenshot from yesterday (Christmas Eve).

Which is more egregious?

Someone thinks, “You’re too busy to come visit me.”

Someone thinks, “You’re too poor to come visit me.”

One has plenty of time but little finances.

One has plenty of money, but little time.

Bottomline, neither sees the other.

One offers, year after year, to pay for the other’s travel expenses.

Hope holds up the head

Sanibel sunset
Last night.

 

Hope holds up the head.

The feeling of overall wellness and personal vibrancy that comes from one huge victory that, over years and years, leads to another victory and then another – this is how hope can overpower inertia.

Overcome disability and become a father, then gain a victory against alcohol addiction (and smoking), after that you turn around a life-threatening health scare, and crazier still, quit (officially retire) your dream job after three decades to start your own enterprise.

And if that isn’t enough, you decided a month ago to quit sugar.

To say that i feel these things are crucial to a balanced life is so understated, it almost feels like a joke.

Are you still afraid to die?

My thanksgiving hope for you is that you arrive at a place in your life where you can answer, “No.”
