locked out…

have you ever locked your keys in the car with the car running? I can say this has never happened to me, but today, yes just today i went to lunch with an amazing person…my wife…and 4 of our staff members.  

on the way back to church the 4 staff that drove on their own were in front of the gym and one had such a look of dispair on his face…he was standing next to his car…door shut and the car running!   i went to the maitnance office to get a slim jim…they had a bag of tools to break into a car (yes a church has tools to break into cars), but after much work i ended up calling our maitnance director to come over to the rescue. life has so much drama in it. the last time i saw this was walking through the church parking lot…car parked in a spot…running and locked up tight!

if you let it, life will rule you and lock you out of your own world and leave you running with nowhere to go! the facts are simple…life is full of drama…but you are the ultimate director of your performance on the stage of life. lie is running full speed ahead…dont get locked out while its sitting in park!

deadly viper…the assassin of amped emotions

I am reading this great book on character and it has hit home in so many ways.  the assassin of amped emotions is the one that takes pleasure in taking you down by pushing your emotional buttons.  have you ever wondered…why am i so angry?  i would consider myself a person with a  pretty laid back disposition.  i don’t get very emotional about much in life…for instance- I have raised my voice at my wife once in our marriage…she dropped our 3 month old baby on his face in a parking lot and it was purely an accident but my response was an emotional outburst. that was 8 years ago and we have been married 17 years, so you can see I am not very emotional.  

i have seen families lose there mind screaming and hollering at there kids because there emotions have been amped up!  have you ever gone to a grocery store or even the mall and you see a couple just tearing into  their kids for just being nothing more than a kid! we can get so stressed out that we allow our emtions to get amped up and then we burst! 

here is an excerpt from the book i am reading maybe it can help you out…when someone hurts you, lies to you how do you respond?  there actions are reprehensible…but are you fast to forgive? “you see when you dont forgive someone, you let them park in your life forever. These people are like parasites that can suck the life right out of you and allow bitterness to rot you out.  if you let people these people and their actions haunt your thoughts, emotions, and spirit, you allow them to continually damage not only you but those around you…”  what do you do?  drop them like a rock…literally write their name on a rock and drop it off a cliff through it out into the ocean…and let go!

forgiveness is letting go.  the assassin of amped emotions wants you to hold on so your emotions stay charged up!
