I have been reading The Magic by Rhonda Byrne. In this book one word changes everything. It is a magical book that helps me realize how grateful we should be on a daily basis, since life sometimes is so hectic.

In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

Alone of all creation, we are made in the image and likeness of God, and only the angels share with us the gift of free will. As we make our journey through life, we are beset by many obstacles and confronted with endless decisions.

How should we live our lives? How best do we relate to others? In what way should we respond to the one who made us? Freedom is ours, but what is the right way to use this incomparable and terrifying gift?

These meditations explore such questions thoughtfully and prayerfully. In them the concepts of good and evil are examined. Morality and the natural law are explored, and the study the Ten Commandants are used as a basis for living one's life. Discover how the laws of God and of the Church add holiness to our lives, bring us into harmony with others, and enable us to live the life of virtue to which all Christians aspire. I am rereading what I have collaboratively had written as a reminder to live my Christian faith.

This book challenges Christians to become more inclusive and welcome all to a bigger table--including the LGBTQ community. It fosters creating authentic dialogue honoring all perspectives and traditions.  “One of the biggest, most damaging mistakes too many Christians so willingly make is assuming that God is as much of a judgmental jerk as we are. But what if we could make room for difference and space for disagreement in our spiritual communities? What if we could give permission for moral failure and freedom to not be certain, and the chance to gloriously fail without needing those things to become black marks against people or death-penalty offenses? What if we made space for people who are as screwed up as we are?”
― John Pavlovitz, A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn't room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many people for far too long: "You're not welcome here. Find someplace else to sit." How can we extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion?

Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to join him on the journey to find-or build-a church that is big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat.

Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community.

One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.

Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.

Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.

This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

The only thing I seem to have time for these days, that I find helpful, centering, to start my day is: "Touchstones: Daily Meditations for Men" that includes: 1) famous quote  2) short two paragraph meditation on it relative to healthy thinking/living and 3) one or two sentence simple language prayer.

(I tend to binge read on, then off, and am in off stage via a hectic school year, but thanks for the reminder, Ms. Roudez.)

Peace,
Witt
