For those of you who don’t really understand this whole “Jesus” thing that’s been going around for the last 2000 years, please allow me to elaborate on the subject a little bit and make it plain and simple with one of my metaphorical thoughts of the day.

You see we’re all like a house with several rooms and this “Jesus” guy is outside of our house in the street in his little Christler 300 vehicle honking his horn hoping that we will look out the window and crack open the door and invite him to come inside.

Some of us have actually invited him to hang out in the front yard and put a fish on our car or a cross on our mailbox, but we just haven’t mustered up the nerve and courage to invite him inside yet because our house is dirty and full of stuff that’s embarrassing to us.  You know the stuff that we just don’t want to give up right now like the recreational drugs or drinking and smoking or cursing and fighting or sleeping around or other self-destructive acts and behaviors.

But take heart my dear friends.  This “Jesus” guy doesn’t really care about any of that stuff right now.  All He really cares about is that you’ll let him in your house so he can hang out with you and build a relationship with you.

I’ve noticed that He’s really good at modeling the way that helps you to live a more meaningful, fulfilled and purposeful way of life.  He doesn’t really care as much about your past, he just wants to meet you where you’re at and walk with you and help you to carve out a better future, so don’t be afraid to crack the door open a little bit and let him on in.

Oh, and don’t just let him into that one room that’s all clean with the plastic still on the furniture that’s used only for Holidays and Birthdays and other special events.  He wants to occupy the WHOLE house.  Yes, and also including that room with all the empty beer cans, liquor bottles and porno magazines and dvd’s too.  He wants FULL access “as-is, where-is” and he can then start to work his magic.

No, you don’t have to be afraid of this guy, He means you absolutely no harm.  Actually he came to prosper you and give you hope and a better future and to help you Make it GREAT!

Oh, and there’s no need to worry about your faults or failures or habits or hang-ups because nobody’s perfect, well, actually He is perfect, but none of us are and he can help us all to know better so we can do better.  So Mr. BreadCrumb is encouraging you to give him a try and He’ll help you to find your “why”.  It worked for me.  What do have to lose?

Why don’t you let today be that day you decide to open up your front door, back door, side door or maybe even a small window but just open up something and let Him on in and let Him be a friend through your thick and thin because He can definitely show you how to Win.

Pick up a “good book” (bible) at your nearest Jesus shack and start turning some pages.  Start with the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John and stumble into a local church or two.  Then listen with an open heart and open mind and don’t be surprised when something drops in that makes you smile.  :-

So open up that house of yours and let my good friend Jesus on in and let Him help you Make it GREAT.  Today can be the first day of the rest of your positive life.  So make that decision and Make it GREAT!

Oh, and don’t be afraid to pass it on if you’d like……

I was just recently talking to a good friend of mine about how it appears lately that shady characters with dubious credentials appear to be popping up all over the place doing dirty deals and scheming and scamming all in the name of making a fast buck.

As I see this happening, it’s caused me to reflect on the fact that even though I grew up in a family that was surrounded by scarcity and struggle, my parents never once compromised their integrity in an attempt to gain abundance.  It wasn’t because they didn’t have the opportunities to engage in such behavior.  It was because they stood on a set of principles that were not only expressed in the “good book”, but was walked-out and lived-out in the actions of their daily activities.

A Great parent is not the one who compromises their integrity and good name to provide their kids with “loot” and “things”, a Great parent is the one who stands firm on solid principles, morals and ethics and gives their kids “roots” and “wings”.

Yes my friends, our kids won’t always be kids.  They eventually grow up and will formulate an opinion about us and who we were and what we modeled to them in their lives and formative years.

So what opinion are your kids forming about you?  What actions are you modeling to them on your daily basis?  What blueprint are you etching into their mental psyche about how to deal with life’s troubles and struggles?  Hmmm…

Roots & Wings or Loot & Things?

Love & Kindness or Complaints & Whininess?

Honor & Grace or Disrespect & Distaste?

To follow Passion & Dreams or To Connive & Scheme?

To look out for your fellowman or To create a selfish, greedy plan?

Yes your actions or inactions are indeed paramount in not just your own life, but even more-so in the lives of those who look-up to you for guidance and direction.  So pay close attention to those things you do because other eyes are looking at you.  May they catch you trying to honorably Make it GREAT!

So how’s your scoreboard looking these days?  You know, that scoreboard of life that we all have.  Are you “RAK’n” up the points with your Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) lately?  Or, are you being penalized like crazy by engaging in joy-stealing, reckless, self-centered behavior?

It appears to me that lately more-and-more people are living their life as if they’re unaware that there’s a “Life-Scoreboard” that’s keeping an accurate, detailed record of our ‘good’ and ‘not-so-good’.  The BBF Syndrome (Bitterness, Burnout & Frustration) appears to be driving some people out of their positive mind.

Episodes of rude, crude and just plain-ole’ mean behavior can be seen around almost every corner these days and I know I’m not the only one that’s witnessing it.

Honestly, I saw something two days ago on Sunday that made me want to scream “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING LADY, DON’T YOU KNOW YOU’RE LOSING LIFE POINTS BY DOING THAT!  UGHHH!!!”  And to top-it-off, the woman was dressed in her ‘Sundays Best’ clothing fresh out of somebody’s church service when she did it.  I really wanted to throw a brick at her with the word “Jesus” on it to remind her of who she’s representing.  But if I did that, I would then end up losing some life-points myself.  🙂

So, instead I thought I’d write this post to remind us all to “RAK” up some life-points when interacting with our fellowmen and women instead of being rude, crude and just a plain-ole’ meany-head.

Please help me spread this good word so we can all start trying to Make this ‘life’ thing Fantabulous!

DON’T BE A MEANY-HEAD !!!

Spoke at a “Dine-in-the-Dark” event last night and asked the question, “Does NOT having physical sight have anything to do with our ability to be able to stay focused on our biggest goals and dreams”?

Well the answer is, absolutely NOT…  In fact our physical eye sight may even be more of a distraction than a help to us when it comes to the ability to stay focused on our goals and dreams.  It was Helen Keller who once said that what’s worse than having no sight is having no Vision, and yes she was exactly right.

If we have no vision for what’s possible for us, we’re doomed to just stumble our way through this life as if we’re physically blind.  I encourage you today to not let that be your fate.

Get clear on your goals and have a vision of what’s possible for you and don’t let your physical eye sight be distracted by the noise and chaos and shiny objects all around you.  Stay focused in the days ahead and by all means make a point to make this “life” thing GREAT!

Yes, Dining in the Dark was a challenge, but nothing like the challenge that life has for us all who dare to try to Make it GREAT!  So, let’s go Make it GREAT!

MAGNIFICENT MONDAY !!!
