“learn something from everyone you meet.”

we need others to complete us.

where we struggle, someone has overcome.

where we have overcome, someone is struggling.

where we fail, someone has success.

where we have success, someone is failing.

let’s learn from those around us instead of the hard way.

we cannot live unaffected by love

we are most alive when we find it,

most devastated when we lose it,

most empty when we give up on it,

most inhumane when we betray it,

and most passionate when we pursue it.”

-Erwin McManus, Soul Cravings

a real simple thought

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
— Henry Ford

memphis was great

i had a great time in memphis it went by too quick.  so quick in fact that i didn’t take any pictures of me and will or sam.

sunday, as we were getting all packed up to go to breakfast before the airport, i told will we didn’t get any pictures of us.  he then replied, everyones gonna say who is this guy, there is no guy in memphis.

anywho, it was a great trip.  thanks to everyone who prayed for my safety.  it was less than 2 days after i left that memphis was hit by 2 tornadoes.  thank god, will and sam were a safe distance away.

your the cheese to my macaroni

Juno: You’re like… the coolest person I’ve ever met and you don’t even have to try.

Paulie: I try really hard actually.

Rollo: You better pay for that pee-stick when you’re done with it. Don’t think it’s your’s just because you marked it with your urine!

Rollo: That ain’t no Etch A Sketch. This is one doodle that can’t be undid, Homeskillet.

cloud of witnesses

today’s service was really good.  it didn’t make me feel good but it was good to hear.

i need to know that i’m not struggling alone, and that someone else has fought this and won.

my goal this week is to figure out what hobbies, habits and hangups are weighing me down on this race.

it’s time to clean house and shed some very unsightly pounds.

who’s with me?
