This woman woke up at 4 AM in 20° cold, worked out for two hours, faced a packed college Monday… and her first thought?
“I woke up this morning. I’m healthy. I get to move my body. I get to learn. And above all—Jesus loves me. Not because of anything I’ve done. Just because I’m His.”
No complaints. Just tears of gratitude.
A beautiful reminder: The greatest privilege isn’t the workout, the degree, or the sunrise—it’s waking up known and loved by our Creator.
If you’re breathing today, you’re already blessed beyond measure.
Don’t let the noise steal your thankfulness.
He loves you more than you’ll ever grasp.
I call it Spilled Milk Syndrome.
The people who suffer from it live difficult, stressful lives, no matter how well things may otherwise be going for them.
They freak out when their iPhone screen cracks. Their flight gets delayed an hour, and it makes them crazy.
Their uber driver cancels last minute, and they yell at their screen. Their printer runs out of paper when they’re running late and need that important document - and their heart races like crazy.
Their blood boils when their latte’s too hot. Or their new shoes get stained the first time they wear them. Or the babysitter’s running 10 minutes behind.
Life’s little annoying moments shock them every time. They are the spilled milk moments that fill all of our lives - and they’re routine no matter who you are or even how wealthy you may be.
The people who expect these moments and take them in stride have an incredible gift.
When a business deal falls apart, they try to save it - and they move on to the next when they realize they can’t.
When the baby starts crying again at 3am, they can choose to be frustrated and to feel sorry for themselves because they had a long day and need the sleep - or they can choose to not to let it get them down.
How you handle those countless moments is simply up to you.
They are going to keep happening no matter what - and you can choose to take them in stride, not let them set you back, and to look forward.
Or you can choose to waste much of your life angry and frustrated, “crying over spilled milk.”
It’s perhaps the most important life choice you can make.
This is hilarious. Mark DeRosa, who I like, left Astros off his top 5 list yesterday. So, he got “yelled at” on Twitter.
Here’s his apology…this is freaking priceless & beautiful.

I’m thinking we really start mixing it up and have a random @ForeTPeople fan from Twitter that has general pro golf knowledge come on and co host with me and @jjkilleentcu once a month.
Thoughts?
