Auntie

On August 31, 2019August 30, 2019 By jeff ludIn Attitude, familyLeave a comment

I think we all have them in our lives. Blood relative or otherwise, most of us have had (or if we're lucky, still have) folks elder to ourselves who bring a unique and special presence and insight to our lives. That older mentor, an "expander of perspectives", generous with love and life;  that person is …

READ.

I can remember way back to childhood. There was a campaign, "Reading is Fundamental." It promotes literacy. And I remember 3rd Grade book reports. How many "Encyclopedia Brown" books could I read? It seemed like a lot. But then I also came to realize reading made me fall asleep. My folks read at night. Sometimes …

No Pain, No Gain

On August 29, 2019August 27, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

Resilience.  It's easier said than done. Mistakes happen all the time.  Sometimes we make them; other times we're affected by those mistakes made by others. When we make the error ourselves, particularly if it's mistake that could have easily avoided, it hurts, it stings, it makes us take pause. Especially when the set-back or challenge …

Like Father, Like Son

On August 28, 2019August 28, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

It's been quite a ride with my son thus far in his six years on this earth.  When he was born I was naturally super-stoked to have a boy, and it's been joy, a delight, a massive set of lessons, and a blessing everyday.  Well, almost every day.  : - ) Helping him along in …

Four Eyes

On August 27, 2019August 25, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

Don't make fun of others, that's a basic life lesson. "Four Eyes!" is a childish way of Making fun of someone who wears eyeglasses. Granted too that it's mostly used by kids, or was back in the day...but the point is the same. Be nice to others. Treat them as you'd like to be treated. …

GOOD.

On August 26, 2019August 25, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

What's it going to be today?  GOOD.   That's my default. It might not play out that way, but that's the way I'm gonna receive it. The weekend though? It was legit GOOD. It was busy for sure, but for all the right reasons. Soccer started up again for two of our three kids; and my …

Sometimes Church is Elsewhere

On August 25, 2019August 25, 2019 By jeff ludIn Attitude, faithLeave a comment

I've heard it said a few times in my life, "church isn't always inside the building." In essence, church is where ever people of faith gather and share prayer and fellowship. At least that's my take, when I boil it all down. Certainly there is the presence of God, and there is sometimes a sense …

Back to the Pitch

On August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

It's that time of year again. Back to the pitch. Two of our three kids are playing this season. So thankful my wife played the game and is willing to coach. She's a natural. She's a teacher already; this gives another outlet for her skills, insights, and energy. It's also a welcome comfort, I think, …

“By the pricking of my thumbs…”

On August 23, 2019August 23, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." This phrase comes from a novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, who first published the work in 1962. I read it 19 years later, when it was assigned reading in my 9th Grade Literature class. It had a big influence on my perspectives as …

Fix The Ear

On August 22, 2019August 19, 2019 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

My son got a toy mouse last weekend. Really to be more specific, it was a cat toy that looked like a mouse. Not long after he got it -- maybe fifteen minutes -- he tied to take the tag off the toy; the tag was attached to the little ear; the little ear pulled …
