Funerals are opportunities to celebrate a life, and one another as we hold each othr up, in times of grief and sorrow. But I'm afraid that not long after the reception, many of us go back to being busy and living frantic lives without direction.

..hiking in the mountains just reminds me that God is here, and though He is so much bigger than me, He is also personal and created so much beauty for me and you.

"One of life's greatest tragedies is to live it, without knowing why."

If you and I want to live a meaningful life, we need to do more than follow our passion...we need to find our purpose.

When it comes to pain...we can choose. When it comes to hardship...we can choose. In fact I want to encourage you today, that you can choose your hard. In fact, I would argue you likely already are.

Give a level 3 problem level 3 effort and give a level 10 problem level 10 effort.

The more we believe life "should" be easier, the more difficult it will be. Because we will lead to a constant state of frustration, blame and hopelessness.

It was seemingly out of the blue that life around here went from normal to chaos...and everyone was in the same boat trying to survive.
