Look Up

By -
Every so often, while you're outside, it might be a good idea to just look up. It is nearly impossible to not be blown away, to not recognize the beauty and the magnificence of the sky.

I know when I look at the sky it sets my mind on things above, both physically and spiritually. For me it is very refreshing and I hope it can be the same for you.

kinda goes along with the previous post. how do you just "do nothing"? There are times when you need to be able to do that - wish I could figure out how to just sit.

When I flew to San Diego, I got to "Look Down", haha. It was amazing, I love flying. I flew over the Rockies, Salt Lake, the Grand Canyon, all in one trip. When we first broke the cloud barrier on ascent, the sun cast a shadow of our plane on the clouds. But there was a full circle rainbow around the shadow, it was amazing. I love flying because I am always in awe of God's creation!

Yeah, when we take the time to be still and know that He is God, standing in awe of the Creator, He heals and rejuvenates us. I also am too horizontally-minded. Looking up is a great to reorient yourself to a vertical mindset, literally. Thanks for this reminder Richie :)

Peyton Manning is a Bronco and other reasons I cheer for him

Rick Reilly recently wrote an article for ESPN about Peyton Manning thanking him for the way he’s done things; not showing up in the tabloids, saying sir and ma’am, not getting in fights, to name a few.  Reilly does a great job listing the many ways that Manning is at the very least a great role model for America’s youth.  I like the article and like Manning so I’d love for you to go read it.  I’m sure most people would agree that Manning has shown himself to be a class act throughout his career and especially now as he transitions to the Denver Broncos (as a longtime Broncos fan I couldn’t be more excited; his press conference photo with John Elway and Pat Bowlen is my current desktop background, much to my wife’s dismay). As much as he’s been in the spotlight over the years I really do not know that much about Peyton Manning’s personal life or beliefs.  In a video clip of him talking to kids at a football camp and a small snippet from a radio interview Manning str...

CNN: I'm a Criminal

Interesting article Putting the article's political agenda aside, this article made me think a lot about how I view sin in my life. Also how when she confronted people with the "So are you" statement, that most people don't view themselves as sinners. I am a criminal. A criminal saved by Grace, and redeemed, but a criminal nonetheless. It also made me think about how we view people in jail or homeless people, or whatever. We tend to view them differently, just because the effects of sin on their life are more "visible", when in fact we all have sinned. For example, using the drugs scenario from the article. How many of us know people who have done drugs in the past, and are no longer users? There are probably some very important people in our lives that fall into that category. How do we treat them? We love them despite their past, don't we? Then think about how we would react / treat someone who we knew went to jail for drug possession. Grant...
