What a lovely day!
Well it is here in Hobart anyway. Blue sky, warm and sunshiny.
The sort of day that makes you feel like it is good to be alive.
I am aware though that there is a whole lot of strife going on under the appearance of a good day. People are sick, some are struggling, babies are gasping for breath, someone I know is going to a funeral today. So even though it looks like a great day, for lots of people, it actually isn't.
So how do you get your head around this?
Fact is, God chose for this day to happen.
He could have said last night, "OK I call it quits. This is enough suffering. This is enough pain. I'll change the plan and bring the world to an end a little earlier than I first thought."
But he didn't do that.
He let the stars shine, he let the earth roll on its course, he allowed the people of earth another day in history.
Today, for my day in history, I have chosen to keep on living a life of faith, even though I know there are people who are sick, babies gasping, and funerals happening.
What are you doing for your day today?

A Life-Changing Five Minutes
How would you change if you knew you only had a few minutes left to live?
Ric Elias talks (in English) about the things that changed when he faced his end on a plane returning to Manhattan.
It goes for five minutes, but is is definitely worth a look

Out on a Limb
What is it about going out on a limb that is so freaky?
I went a suggested a new idea for me to pursue to my boss today. He fully supported my carefully thought through argument, and even suggested he coach me to get the possible outcome.
So far, so good.
But then he had another completely different alternative that he thought I would be better at. And I can see his point.
So now I am at sixes and sevens! Do I go with my 'hunch' that I went out on the limb for?
Or do I go with his intuitive response, which from his objective viewpoint, he can see would be better for me to pursue?
I don't know!
Tell you what I'll be doing now . . . praying very hard this week!
