“Someday, I’m going to chase that dream.”

“Someday, I’m going to get in shape.”

“Someday, I’m going to help those less fortunate.”

“Someday, I’m going to overcome that fear.”

“Someday, I’m going to ask her out.”

“Someday, I’m going to take my family on that trip.”

“Someday, I’m going to finish that project.”

“Someday, I’m going to learn that instrument.”

“Someday, I’m going to be debt-free.”

“Someday, I’m going to be a leader.”

“Someday, I’m going to spend more time with my kids.”

“Someday, I’m going to get these addictions under control.”

“Someday, I’m going to make a difference.”

A life full of regrets is paved on a path littered with somedays.

What’s it going to take to turn someday into today?

Someone dying?

Your health going downhill?

Your kids growing up?

Why wait?

You’re not promised tomorrow!

You have this moment- where your past and your future collide.

Replace the word someday with the the words, “Beginning today…”

And take the next step to advance that someday list forward.

You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life?  For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. - James 4:14

Now’s the time!

Today’s the day!

Don’t waste your life!

You’ve got a story to live!

Go live it!

Ever had a pebble chip your windshield?

If you have, then you know that the first thing you do is get it repaired. If you don’t, that small chip will turn into a big crack.

I’m guessing there are relationships in your life right now that have a small chip.

This leaves you with two options:

1) Ignore it (and hope it just goes away)

2) Take care of it (and don’t take your chances)

If you ignore it, odds are that small chip in your relationship will grow into a full-blown fracture.

If you take care of it, you may prevent that small chip from becoming a full-blown fracture.

Make the first move.

Take care of the chip.

And don’t do crack.

“Boy, you need to learn to eat the meat and leave the bones.”

This is what my Paw Paw advised when I told him about how someone at school had said something mean about me.

“What does that mean?” I asked.

In his matter-of-fact way, he replied, “It means you accept the truth, and ignore the rest.”

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I had just learned an important principle. My Paw Paw was teaching me about discernment. The ability to filter what’s true and false, what’s good and bad, what’s safe to absorb and what’s meant for scraps.

You and I have a thousand little preachers preaching to us everyday. Through the books we read, conversations we have, websites we visit, shows we watch, billboards we see, stories we hear, you name it.

Many of us accept anything, which is really believing in nothing, and often leads to confusion.

Others of us reject everything, which is also believing in nothing, and often leads to apathy.

The truth is, with almost everything you take it in, some is true and some is not.

This means your favorite authors are probably wrong about something.

This means there’s likely a kernel of truth in what critics say about you.

Don’t accept everything at face value; but don’t reject everything either.

Allow the scriptures to guide you, think things through, and learn to eat the meat and leave the bones.

That’s the way of wisdom.

At least, that’s what I’m learning.
