Making a difference is usually smaller and quicker than one might think. (my paraphrase of Malcolm Gladwells idea behind The Tipping Point) As I look back over my life (that makes me sound old) I think some of the biggest changes in my life came about by some pretty small moments or actions. Deanna is my wife because I finally said, "will you marry me?". I am a Pastor because I knew God was asking me to trust him and I said, "yes". My current spiritual state of being is in place because I have decided in the small moments to make it a priority. I think I have gotten caught up at times thinking that life is about these big, huge moments at a camp, retreat or conference where I make a decision to finally do _________ . (insert whatever emotionally driven commitment you would like in the blank. I've probably made it.) But what I am learning is that it's about the small moments that usually cost me very little. Those are the times that make the biggest difference. I don't know, I'll think about this some more, but I would love your thoughts on this...along with the answer to the question of the day.
Question of the Day: What is your favorite way to waste time?
Another Catalyst quote that goes along with the statement from above: "Emotionally charged environments are like a fog." I'm learning it's not smart to make directional decisions in a fog. At least without a good compass and map.

sitting in a coffeeshop reading the newspaper.
man, I'm lame. :)
wasting time today banging my head into my keyboard.. not my favorite thing really.. but today it seems mandatory.
Playing video games or being on the internet, that's what I usually do to waste time. I could have said hanging out with my friends, going outside, and stuff like that.. But I don't see those things as a waste of time.

dang well, you make a good point Scott. To think of it, making leaps in any area insn't really a big achievement, and really does happen in small steps. Wow, I can't really say that I have ever considered this....hhmm well yeah it all makes sence...its as if I'm Neo and your Morpheus, except for your just telling me a good life fact, and Morpheus tells Neo of a new life litterally, wow how of track one can get...well yeah I see your point, and will now consider it, well yeah, thats it adios

I'm not a big fan of emotionally charged situations. I guess I'd rather make a decision with my head and not on emotions. I'm different like that. Emotions fade out...
listen to really cool music.
