There is a difference

There is a difference between being the best IN the world and the best FOR the world.

My wife is a fourth grade teacher and she often talks about legacy and moments that matter. She shared this video with me today and I found it so appropriate for what we are all doing in work and life that shows purpose. Take a look!

Changing leaves? Let's go!

Every morning, I walk my dog Bailey. It started last year as an "observation walk" at the suggestion of my therapist. The rules were simple: go out for a walk and don't think deeply about your to-do list, your problems to solve, or your shortcomings.

Just walk and pay attention to the birds. And your dog. And the morning. And the neighborhood.

WAY harder than you think! Promise!

So in this last year, my observation walk has turned into a prayer walk. It's been life changing. Pray for people that have hurt you. Pray for them by name. Better yet: pray that you would see yourself as God sees you. Pray for peace. And pray for very, very simple gratefulness.

So, we pray for change. And these early fall leaves are a God-wink. And we pay attention. 

I love living in North Carolina because of the changing seasons. That matters. So let's all change seasons together and be grateful in it. Deal?
