Starting Slow, Finishing Strong

Leave a comment

Persistence is a very good thing. When your day starts out slow you have to keep going. Having a work ethic is one thing but also having patience is helpful too. When you have a daily goal to reach it can get frustrating when things are not happening.

Knowing how and when to make adjustments can help you get to where you want to go. Today I was at less than 50% of my daily goal. After lunch I made adjustments, found a new channel and stayed there to my benefit.

In the movie Galaxy Quest the line “Never Give Up, Never Surrender” has a lot of truth to it. It has eternal wisdom. Whether you are trying to reach your goal or you are fighting for a cause you have to be persistent and learning how to finish strong especially when you start slow.

Supreme Court rules federal civil rights law protects LGBTQ workers – CBS News

This is great news for my LGBTQ friends who are having a rough time with the current administration rolling back protections in many areas of life. It’s truly a shame that people who are just living their lives and really bothering no one have to go through the pain of discrimination in any form.

Discrimination Is Hate

2 Comments

Discrimination is a manifestation of hate. The sooner discrimination goes away the better it is for everyone. It’s time that in this society we need to figure out how to bring everyone and I mean everyone to the table. If anyone be denied life, liberty, and happiness then it should be available to no one. Also, some church people need to figure out how to drop their need to have power and control over the lives of people who don’t even believe in God. It’s time you laid down your scripture missiles.

Sunday Reflection: No One Is Perfect And Grace Is Good

3 Comments

No one I know is perfect. No one. Not even me. Seeking perfection is a challenge that everyone will fail at and that’s OK. In that relentless pursuit of perfection we miss out on a lot. Our connection with one another means we share in that imperfect life that does more to unite us than any perfect life could. Everyone makes mistakes and it’s through those errors that allows forgiveness to come into play.

Grace is a great gift because it means you are being gift of pardon from whatever wrongs you have committed. It can bring people together where they were once apart. It’s okay to give and receive grace and still have issues to work out in any relationship. It’s grace that gives a point of reboot in life.

Forgiveness is really hard and its more about the person who was injured letting go of any anger or animosity that the person who was hurt the most. Be not afraid to reconcile and renew your hearts and minds for something higher and better.

So in your seeking to be perfect know it will never happen. Be satisfied with the person you are right now. Give people you know the chance to be who they are in the moment.
