Lessons from 2019

Today is a good day to share the lessons 2019 taught me...

Unfollow, declutter, unsubscribe, mute, unfriend, block, leave, put it down, let it go...when there's no value. Not more. Less. But more focused.

When you lock the door, be sure to check it's locked.

Learn to build and learn to sell. These skills will last a lifetime.

80 years from now, 80% of those you value...will be buried in the dirt.

Many use their defence...of the gospel to justify their ill treatment of those who do not share in our convictions. But no one can defend the gospel. The gospel defends itself in the love experience we give those who come around us. God is love.

We blame politicians because deep down we know...one of our needs is very often the leader in them. But we also forget that to others around us, their greatest need...may be the leader in us.

An excuse...is the only thief that steals what we don't even get to know...was stolen.

If you can't laugh to it...it's not Gospel. If it's not redeeming, refreshing, relieving...friends, it's not Gospel. The Gospel...is good news.

Money put Him on the Cross...and money put Him off the Cross...and money tried to hide His resurrection story. Who? Jesus. So yes, money is important.

But when you work for free, be sure to do your best.

When you say the right thing...the wrong way, you're wrong. How it's said will matters. Learn about the "how".

Everybody hurts...but not everybody heals. The ability to heal...is so important an ability to develop. We call it forgiveness. People will hurt you. It's your responsibility to heal.

Your presence...in His presence...is proof you are in His plan. Who? God.

May the coming year make the going year look like a total waste of time. Blessings!
