Met a great guy yesterday whose last name is Nguyen. He told me the Americanized pronunciation is “Win”. His parents decided to give him the same first name as his last name (truly). So that’s pretty much a Win-Win.
I saw a grandmotherly usher at church this morning, with a serious look on her face as she “guarded” her door.
I said “You keepin the bad guys out?”
She broke into a smile & said “No way, I’m letting the bad guys in first!” 😎❤️👍🏽
Just saw a guy wearing a Wolverines hoodie & a KC Chiefs baseball hat. I wonder if he was wearing a Georgia Bulldogs hoodie & an LA Rams hat last year?
I asked a 7 year old girl at church today if she was expecting much from Santa… had she been nice or naughty this year? She paused, and then with 100% sincerity she said, “In Between”.
Me too, my friend. Me too.
Asking God to protect students at @michiganstateu while they look for the gunman.
This campus I love… now the latest scene of heartbreak that we’ve all watched way too often. ❤️🩹 🙏🏽
Praying for people in pain.
Few things energize me more than talking with a young leader who’s hungry to learn & grow, AND ask themselves tough questions. It catalyzes growth & learning in ME, too!
An old friend - who I don’t talk to often - DM’ed me last Sunday about football… then on Thursday he suddenly went to Heaven. It’s got me Acknowledging the fragility of life, Contemplating how I’m using mine… and Praying Hard for his fam.
Last night Lynette & I discussed "the 3-5 (non-parental) mentor-type-people we'd most like to thank" for contributions to our lives... Do you have a list? Have you thanked them?
Camp-pickup a couple nights ago. Busses have left, & there’s that one student whose parents are late. I said “don’t worry, they love you.” And he said “yep. They love sushi too.” 😶 oops
My heart is so heavy about this… Please consider praying for all the families & staff affected by this tragedy. It’s about 2 miles from my house. WE ALL need HOPE…. https://t.co/szG7MVo5Yc
Here’s an idea: Instead of everybody doing the “fall back” time change on the same weekend, everybody PICKS the weekend where they feel like they most need the extra hour of sleep… & call it in then.
