You woke me up this morning with a fit body and a sound mind and then had to just settle for watching me hustle out the door with my breakfast in my hand without a thank you.

I then rushed from place-to-place and appointment-to-appointment without even the slightest nod of acknowledgement to you.

I returned phone calls and made future plans and even expressed thank you to others who’ve been lending a hand and you tried to get my attention by blowing the wind, but I gave not a hint of recognition for you being my biggest fan.

But during my evening errands you blindsided me with an evening view that was so majestic that I had to slow down, pull off the road, turn the radio off, take out my camera, exit my vehicle and raise my hands in reverence to you being “The MAN!”

Thank you Lord for knowing me and showing me your majesty. May others see you in all that I do as you continue to get me through. Mr. Make it Great definitely couldn’t “Make it Great” without your mercy and grace. 🙂

Let’s take time to tune-out so we can tune-in to our heavenly friend again-and-again.

GREAT DAY!!!

When it comes to good sense and doing what’s right, this life has taught me that just because some people know it, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll show it. So in the days ahead let’s continue to be that rare exception that continues to defy what’s rapidly becoming the negative norm.

Simply put, don’t just say it and know it, but display it and show it. This is definitely a breadcrumb of wisdom that can lead us all to Making this “good” life GREAT!!!

I just learned recently that guide dogs are taught to exercise a special skill called “Intelligent Disobedience”. This means that if given a command that would put the dog and it’s handler in danger, the dog will make a strict decision NOT to obey the command no matter what.

This notion really got me to thinking and as a result I’ve realized the following parallel of truth: So too should we humans be expected to exhibit a form of “Intelligent Disobedience” when our peers around us are encouraging us to engage in actions and activities that are counter to our beliefs, morals and deepest core values.

It’s amazing how animals can often times model a perfect picture for us to follow as we attempt to make it GREAT.

Let’s choose to put into practice our “Intelligent Disobedience” whenever necessary and stay on the path to making this “good” life GREAT!!!

During this month exactly 10 years ago this family picture was taken in our backyard pool area with a view that could take your breath away. Now 10 years later my youngest is now the same age that my oldest was in this photo and the change of the years has brought with it so many other changes in our lives.

It’s amazing how a Blessing can be hidden in a Bankruptcy, a new Faith can be found in a Firing and an amazing Comeback can be concealed in an untimely Setback. The surprise is that through it all I’ve learned that sometimes we have to be pushed a few steps back so we can be prepared to take a few giant leaps forward and now life is absolutely GREAT! And, nope I wouldn’t change a single thing about the process to getting to where I’m at today. 🙂

I truly believe that in this “life” thing there’s a reason for every single season. So I encourage you today to think it NOT strange and be it NOT surprised if your best blessing lies inside of an unexpected slide. Or, your renewed faith is found in an unfavorable fall or failure. Just pick yourself back up so you can move-on up and claim your stake to again Make it GREAT! Don’t wish to get the old days back, work to make the new days better. 😉

GREAT DAY YOUNG GRASSHOPPERS!!!
