The deadline coincided with seeing our son reach 18. This photo marked that accomplishment, two days ago.
As i approach the final six months of the original 10-year plan, and get closer to six months left until June 8, 2019, the intensity of wanting to teach is increasing to a new level.
Why?
Well, and i’ve been thinking about this for a month, there’s more at stake and less to lose.
Once you’re dead and gone, the opportunity, in person, is gone forever.
It’s the “gone forever opportunity” that is fueling the desire to get more real – or go to the grave with unspoken ideas, wishes, hopes, love.

There’s much to ponder as a 15-year old. Same with the parent of a 15-year old.
Yesterday he befriended the runt of the group. By runt, i mean the youngest, least experienced, poorest member (quality of his card deck) of the weekly Sunday tournament regulars. Even going so far as to spend quality time with him as well as sharing his best deck when they played for fun after the tournament concluded.
i saw it as personal growth for a 15-year old.
Can’t help but wonder if he saw it as something remarkable.
Additionally, was thinking about how underwhelming the 8:45am sermon was. Maybe the 15-year old heard something i didn’t.
Maybe it was the result of some cumulative effect.
Maybe it was completely random and unintentional.
Disney has a culture by design, not by default. i’m applying the same cultural blueprint to personal life, including leadership parenting.
And because of this Disney application, i believe we are reaping some of what has been sown for the past decade or so.
