Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things

Gratitude is a SUPER power. So is intentionality.

 

Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do.

This is hard for most of us to believe.

Why?

Because so few of us have had role models showing us the way.

Be the change – this battle cry (be the change) has a more urgent meaning now, right?

Had a hunch it was going to be significant

Last night as i arrived for “Lector practice”.

 

Holy Family Orlando Catholic Church
Zoomed in from same spot.

 

Had a hunch it was going to be significant.

What?

This Sunday’s reading.

Haven’t been to “Lector practice” in years.

Why?

A busy travel schedule for starters.

i didn’t go last night to practice.

i went for clarity.

And sure enough, “Reader one” (my assignment) has a significant responsibility on Palm Sunday.

Years ago i was caught not knowing. i did fine. But i was scared to death for being ignorant.

Swim at your own risk?

Yesterday after Church at Cocoa Beach

 

Yesterday’s reading was ok.

The two obvious questions are:

Did i prepare enough?

Did i over-prepare?

Such is life.

Swim at your own risk?

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

Are you the right person?

(photo: Sending flowers to loved ones doesn’t have to cost money. It can be a simple text message. It does, however, require living in the moment.)

Quick walk last night from the hotel to the speaking venue to ensure the right amount of preparation was done before today arrived.

Was that 400 meter walk art?

Art is something that for the right person is greatly appreciated and inspiring. Art is also something that is done in a way that is better or, simply, different than the traditional way.

Using the end of our day to prepare for the next day can be art for the right person.

Right?

Live so that death doesn’t catch you unprepared

AARP advice on dying
The underlined part is great advice.

 

Live so that death doesn’t catch us unprepared. The underlined part of the photo:

“uncertainty of life ought to induce every man to prepare for death”

As we walk on the treadmill of life, we poison our souls so slowly we never notice.

Notice.
