OMTL Day 8:Full Throttle

The greatest power we need in our lives is the power to begin again. That’s a quote from today’s reading that I highlighted because it seemed to be reactuate. On a side note don’t you wish we could only get depressed about things that have actually happen, and not about things that might happen? Or…

OMTL Day 7: Dreamsicle

Today is a beautiful day here in Houston. One of those 70 degree spring days that just begs you to come out and play. The reading today was something like that to my heart. My wife and I have been talking all day about some professional opportunities that just came our way. First here’s one…

OMTL Day 6: Monkey Bars

I read my reading this morning but didn’t get around to blogging it till now. Just got back from going to the Emerge service – which I don’t think is all that different than the other services – this evening. Kay Warren spoke and she really made me think about what is significant. What are…

OMTL Day 5: Oxygen Mask

Every chapter has quotes at the beginning and interestingly this one included the Airline Safety Announcement. That’s where the title comes from. What’s the biggest physical challenge you face?

“Spend More Time With My Family”

After reading my wife’s interaction with the material in One Month To Live – (like a Hatfield interacts with a McCoy) – I got to thinking about something. I’ve asked a number of people the questions “What would you do if you only had one month to live?” The top answer has to be “spend…

OMTL Day 3: Time Squared

Todays reading talked about using our time meaninfully. Every minute and second gone is gone forever. If these were my last 30 days I’d think each second was precious. What consumes most of your time each day? What exactly consumes you at work? How much of any given day to you spend doing only what…
