For Chris, who is spending his vacation time with youth in service and mission to the good people of Appalachia.  

I’m fortunate to be part of a small group that meets after work on Mondays.  This comes from a discussion a couple of weeks ago that has been on my mind since…

“EMOTIONS generate THOUGHTS.

THOUGHTS turn into ACTIONS.

ACTIONS develop HABITs.

HABITS become STRONGHOLDS.”

And so, I submit…

We have an opportunity to improve each day and to touch the lives around us.

Give pause; give prayer; give thanks – invest first in those emotions, thoughts and actions.

Serve.

Find today’s opportunity.

Act thoughtfully to develop tomorrow’s habit.

Step into the stronghold.  Imagine the possibilities.

Keep it Lit, Y’all.

Peace…

T.
