I dunno. Every so often, a day–or series of days–comes along that just drags at a person. It’s been that way lately. My summer schedule is full to bursting. I’ve had to opt out of some paying work, and I feel like the family-and-community to-do lineup is a thousand miles long.
I suspect I’m turning into my mother. As I write this, my first inclination is to make a list. Take it all down to size, prioritize, tackle. I’m not the list person. She is. Problem is, listing it sometimes just clarifies the problems, not the solutions.
A long list of disappointments lately–a list that’s very clear in my mind–doesn’t help. I got a solid dose of the flaws in some of my family relationships. There’s the ongoing internal conflict in our church. We also just received a “no” from a potential pastor who had seemed to be all “yes” up till now. It was a financially costly “no” to the church, and we’re going to have to answer some angry questions. At times like this, the responsibilities of our young family, jobs, and even little things like home maintenance just get to be a weight, rather than the privilege they should be to the two of us.
So, what do you do with a “downer” day? Make a list? Stay in bed? Go into denial and eat chocolate? Tackle the future with both hands and feet?
I’m sure there’s an interesting range out there. Gimme your thoughts.

Tonight we talk about Grief and Loss. Loss of power. position, status, loved ones, relationships, children, parents, dreams, career, marriages. All those losses take the toll on us and the recovery of a loss or series of losses can takes time to come back from…sometimes it can take a little longer than others.
For Episode 18 I was thrilled to be joined by my wife, Trina, who for the last 20 years has walked along side of me through our own Grief Journey.

The average person explains away their failure, forever unwilling to stare into the light and see that their sacred cow was just a cow… Roy Williams
I never want to be that person. I never want to be the one who looks at my life and says “pretty good, if it wouldn’t have been for those darn….” I won’t do it.
In the same breath I don’t want to constantly beat myself up for my failures.
There are all kinds of failures. They are moral, professional, social, ethical, business related and so on. Looking at the list I have taken a bite out of each one of those but I don’t want to be the one who can’t give myself room to breath from my failures. which is probably closer to where I am.
My failures always linger over my head waiting to crush me again and again and when I feel like I am getting some breathing room, there they are again!
Are you like me or have you learned how to forgive yourself and move on?
If you have I want you to join the conversation Tuesday night @ 7:30 PM EDT on the next Humble O Radio.
If you are exactly like me and still waiting for the sky to fall I want you to be there too. I want us to talk about how it taints and tints our faith and our ability to “Be all that we can be”, not only in our faith but also in our relationships and our professions.
Starting September 10, 2007 the show will be LIVE
MONDAY - THURSDAY @ 10:00 PM EDT at HumbleORadio.com
