We do not have to wait for someone to offer us their forgiveness, we can ask.

What we want,

I often find myself lingering toward thinking about what I don’t want in my life. After all most of what we view, see, and do in our enviroment seems to be structured around this.

A good friend of my has been coaching me lately over tostados lunches. He views the world as a menu, which we order what we want.

Which would you like to order?

#27 – Overindulge in self pity with a touch of scorn of others

#30 – It’s great to be alive. Served with a mix of self fulfillment, hope, and a touch of serving others.

I want #30, I do. But we do have a choice. I think God’s trying to see if you’re a rebel or not. You have to be willing to give it a try and not be comfortable in doing what everyone else does. My definition of a true rebel.

So today, I’m really focusing on ordering the #30. I’m going to do the following:



In a heavy traffic situation, I’m going to let people get in front of me and smile. To myself I will say, “there goes a child of God” and mean it.

I’m going to engage anyone walking a dog and ask if I can pet the dog. I will then tell the dog, “you know you’re so healthy and you have a great owner who really takes care of you. I know you know that.”

Those two things may be on someone else’s menu. Even better if they ordered it.
