Do Something Great

Yes, today is a day to do something great! What will it be?
As I was leaving church this morning, instead of saying, "Have a nice day!" to an elderly woman walking slowing from the service, I felt inspired  to say, "Do something great!" Isn't that what we are invted to do every day? Inside this otherwise ordinary-looking day is an opportunity to do something great.
I was reminded of Abraham Lincoln, who was once asked what he thought of the sermon. Pensively he responded that the preacher "didn't challenge me to do something great."
So what will it be? A kind word to a discouraged person can be great! Helping someone across the street can be great! Just being healthy is great. Looking forward to family time, vacation, and a weekend can be great. Greatness can come in small packages. 
Look for greatness today.

Fridays

Thank God it's Friday! But can it really be 11:30 a.m. already? What happened to 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30? Myriad tasks demand attention and I dutifully comply. But were they the important things, the necessary things, or just the loudest things.
"This will only take me a minute," I think, but it doesn't take just a minute. And soon I've abdicated another hour to the "I have no idea where time went"  category.
Does this every happen to you?
Before another hour slips into the past, I am stealing a minute to reflect on what just happened here.
