    Planned or Random Giving?

    Giving. I’m thinking about the concept of giving in a year. That could be because of how taxable donations have conditioned me. But nevertheless, a year combines enough seasonality between the daily grind, finding your pace, and expenses. I give throughout the year planned and at random. And this year, I’ve given more at random than I have planned, but both are important.

    Back At It Again

    I’ve got cool things planned for Season 2, but I wanted to be honest first about where I'm at. My phrase of the day has been "Fat Chance", and inflation is coming for us all. So, where have you noticed inflation the most? And what have you noticed didn't go up?

    Things I've Been Thinking & DJ Sets

    Curated spaces for creatives is the coolest thing to be in proximity too. I thought DJ sets were for clubs but this past weekend I went to watch a collection of DJ sets. Where people just gather around the stage, the dj is atop the stage with laptop and boards, and we all enjoy the music they're dropping. Bob your head, tap your feet, Swing your dreads, do a two step, and throw a lil stank on your face when the DJ does something unexpected with the song. From my experience, I can tell there were three types of DJ.

    Take What You Need

    This week I’m thinking about the concept of take what you need. I Love seeing it in community pantries, books, and even encouragement. So today I’ll read two letters from my uncle. Take or don't take from the answer to my “if you could have dinner with any person dead or alive”, my C.S. Lewis, Dumbledorf, good soul, kindred spirit, fortune cookie--Uncle Ben.

    Pick One

    “You take one person from every phase of your life” means pick wisely the relationships you steward and that relationships change. The closeness that most of them have may gain distance, while simultaneously increasing in fondness and faint applause. Why? Because folks are still cheering for you, even if who is sitting in the front row changes. I really believe that. When you think of the one person that you’ve taken from every season, who are they? And have you told them?

    This week I asked my youngest sister,"If you could ask me anything, what would you ask me?"

    Who Is My Competition Now?

    Where did we place our competitiveness? Do we wrap it up in jealousy for coveting other people’s stuff? Is competition for groups and nations to be the first in war, inter-planet discoveries, invention, or the Olympics? Is it only for game nights or gym rats? Or is competition for children? Do we grow up and decide that no matter how competitive you are-- there’s a level that you will reach, and it's pretty much been decided. No need to cut your teeth.

    Un-Christianlike... or the truth?

    There are times in my adult life that I talked too much. And times I didn’t talk at all. And I take note of both of those things. So, if you have to tell your story and not theirs, what do you do in the case of a loved one or family member? Someone whose story has long been intertwined with yours? How should we tell those stories?
