Things that are on my mind today…
- The health needs of a pastor friend and a young man in our school district
- That those in power don’t seem to see that wisdom always wants MORE input, never less
- That people believe it’s okay to destroy someone else’s career, income, or reputation simply because they disagree
- That Friday is the 100 Days of School celebration, and I haven’t even asked Meg what collection of 100 things she wants to take in
- That my kids’ sense of entitlement is largely encouraged by my own lack of gratitude
- The level of over-reaction to everything right now means no one will believe it when something actually horrible happens
- That it’s really hard to let a child earn a new something when I really could just buy it
Things that help me remember that we’ll make it…
- Among all of the discourse of the weekend I had a great, hard interaction with a friend from college whom I haven’t “debated” with for a long time
- My kids enjoyed playing with each other on their 2-hour delay this morning
- My bible study ladies actually enjoy coming together for bible study (which he had to postpone because of said 2-hour delay)
- Lots of people are engaging with each other and with their communities…even if we need to work on “how” we do it
- That Jesus is our final hope, no matter what my day, my world, my health, my friends, my president, my country, or my world is doing
- There is still a lot of laughter going on
- Denzel Washington won a SAG award for Fences
