Thanks!

Everywhere I go, my life is better because of the way people around choose to behave.

Thanks to 20+ adults for serving at youth the other night and making the night great for a bunch of teens and giving them the opportunity to be loved and impacted by God.

Thanks to the person at Safeway who served me more cheerfully than they needed to or felt like but did it anyway.

Thanks to the drivers who chose to drive safely while my kids were on their way to and from school yesterday.

Thanks to my wife and kids who make our house a home by doing hundreds of little things.

Thanks to the guy who walked down the street with a smile and cheered up someone else which started a chain that will effect me at some point today or this week.

Thanks to the millions of people who have made my world a better place.

111

This marks the 111th post. I want to thank those who have been reading them. I am amazed that you do and thankful that you allow me to invest in you. My philosophy of life involves learning and growing as much as possible myself and then giving away what I learn. Basically from a whole life point of view (not just money)..."make all you can...give all you can".


The other thing though is this. I have always been bugged by teachers who felt like they were condescending to me while they taught. That is, teachers who give me the impression that I am lucky to hear/read their stuff. That somehow, I owe them and better really appreciate it.

I far prefer to learn from teachers who are servants. They feel privileged to teach me. They appreciate the opportunity to teach. They see teaching as an honor not an obligation.

So thanks for reading. I hope some of these posts have been helpful.
