Too Late
Don’t wait till next season … to use this season’s gifts.
There is no such thing as an innocent bystander
Standing by. It seems such an innocent thing. To watch and not take part. To hover and see who wins Then, unknown to my innards To jockey for good position In order to see how all this comes out. Spectating. Not rooting for or pulling against, Just waiting for it all to pass by. To […]
Writer’s Dilemma
I have a love-hate relationship with writing. I hate getting started, but I love what I find once I get there.
Without a deadline, I’d never get to Christmas
It’s amazing what a deadline does. Take Christmas for example. On December 25th, at least in these parts, folks wake up to Christmas day and they expect their gifts to be under the tree, stockings to be filled and Christmas dinner preparations to be well under way. As the Dr. Seuss’ Grinch so aptly points […]
Finishing touches may not kill you
Finishing touches will kill you. Do you want the line to go up or down? the name to be this or that? is this darker or that? Should we label it or leave it alone? describe it in the caption or put it on the figure? And really, should this be positioned before or after, […]
A Day Late, but renewable?
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24 If that was the lesson for Monday but I didn’t open it until Tuesday, did I miss it? It’s so great when we run on time. Better even if we get there early and are already […]
The baton between believe and act
Do I believe myself when I say, “I believe God put me up to this?”
I’m not late, I’m coming!
Time is imaginary, right? Just like money. Not real. Just a concept. A suggestion. If I have, say, a 3:00 meeting that is 20 minutes away and I leave at 2:50. I’m not late. Not until I am halfway there and the clock ticks 3:00 am I late. If I have a project due tomorrow […]
Who has time for details?
I’m not a detail person. I would rather do the big stuff. Make the big difference. Start the big program. Be the front man. And let someone else take care of the details. Because that’s what feels good. When I can look at what I’ve accomplished and celebrate a job well done. I can hold […]
Busted ~ Over and Out
I HAVE to get my book draft finished! The first draft was so fun. The editing stinks. I find everything else in the world to do – other than finishing it. It’s me. It’s procrastination. I know this me. So does God. Help! …I say. So I’m pulling on my sweatshirt this morning – the […]
