I “run ahead” too quickly, too often. And ironically, that doesn’t put me “ahead” at all!

I just realized; on 1 side of the country is the “Pacific” time zone, on the other is the “Eastern”. Shouldn’t it be the Atlantic?!

This makes me smile Every Time: watching someone encourage a kid… of any age. It has an impact!

Here’s an idea: Instead of everybody doing the “fall back” time change on the same weekend, everybody PICKS the weekend where they feel like they most need the extra hour of sleep… & call it in then.

My heart is so heavy about this… Please consider praying for all the families & staff affected by this tragedy. It’s about 2 miles from my house. WE ALL need HOPE…. nypost.com/2022/03/15/ass…

I went to Michigan State University, and still remember my student ID #… 1000752. I was 1 in a million. And also 752.

I’m so sorry, Uvalde.

Man, I keep hearing about disgruntled people everywhere. Today I’m really going to focus on being more Gruntled. #begruntled

6/30/2022. We’ve made it halfway through the year; Good Work everybody!

Camp-pickup a couple nights ago. Busses have left, & there’s that one student whose parents are late. I said “don’t worry, they love you.” And he said “yep. They love sushi too.” 😶 oops

Kind of like a pro athlete, the evil one has a scouting report on you, and knows your weaknesses. —-provocative thought from Gene Appel this morning.

Last night Lynette & I discussed "the 3-5 (non-parental) mentor-type-people we'd most like to thank" for contributions to our lives... Do you have a list? Have you thanked them?

An old friend - who I don’t talk to often - DM’ed me last Sunday about football… then on Thursday he suddenly went to Heaven. It’s got me Acknowledging the fragility of life, Contemplating how I’m using mine… and Praying Hard for his fam.

Few things energize me more than talking with a young leader who’s hungry to learn & grow, AND ask themselves tough questions. It catalyzes growth & learning in ME, too!

ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky praying for Damar Hamlin on NFL LIVE. Beautiful words of empathy, hope and love. #PrayForDamarHamlin

God opened #3’s eyes on the 3rd day. #GoBills

Asking God to protect students at MSU while they look for the gunman. This campus I love… now the latest scene of heartbreak that we’ve all watched way too often. ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏽 Praying for people in pain.

I asked a 7 year old girl at church today if she was expecting much from Santa… had she been nice or naughty this year? She paused, and then with 100% sincerity she said, “In Between”. Me too, my friend. Me too.

Just saw a guy wearing a Wolverines hoodie & a KC Chiefs baseball hat. I wonder if he was wearing a Georgia Bulldogs hoodie & an LA Rams hat last year?

I saw a grandmotherly usher at church this morning, with a serious look on her face as she “guarded” her door. I said “You keepin the bad guys out?” She broke into a smile & said “No way, I’m letting the bad guys in first!” 😎❤️👍🏽
