So I'm sitting here and my wife is watching American Idol that she has DVR'd. I am working on my lesson for Sunday, and at times my mind wanders to what is happening in the TV. It is amazing just how many people sink all their hopes and dreams into this one event. One lady said this may be the most important day of my life.
I had to pause and consider that for a moment. How many of us are pinning all our hopes and dreams on that one and important day, the most important day of our lives. Here is the reality, today is the most important day of your life. Today is the only day we are promised. Today is the day to make the most important, to make the best. It is not graduation day, the day you turn 16, 18 or 21, it is not your wedding day or the day your children are born, the most important day is today.
So go...do good, love with reckless abandon, and be faithful to what God has created you for!

My Next Thirty Years....
Seems like there is a country song that starts like that. About two weeks ago I turned 36. I can safely say that 40 no longer looks as old as it used to...I would say that this depresses me but it does not. I have seen a lot of things and done even more in my first 36 years, I wonder what the next 30 or so will hold. I am immensely blessed and cannot imagine life any differently. Every time I think about how green the grass looks on the other side of the fence I am reminded that this is the side that God intends for me to be on.
Some times I wish I knew the future, how certain things will work out but perhaps it is best that I do not. Here are some things I hope for in my next 30...I hope I am a good dad to Isaac. I hope I am a better husband to Olsa. I hope I can be faithful to the calling God has placed in my life. I hope I am honorable and treat everyone with the respect they deserve and need. I hope more than anything though that the love of God that lives in me never departs and is always available when the world needs to see it the most.
May your day be blessed!
