Part I

I've been told in the past my morning text has inspired, motivated, and helped create a bridge from mental despair to mental repair.  

I guess I understood, but didn't understand.  

I was more recently told that maybe I missed my calling as a preacher.  I was told my morning text touch individuals in an individual way.  In a way that builds a connection back from sometimes dark, other times lonely, and many times painful places.  

I understand the thought about missing one’s calling, I've thought I've missed my calling many times.  I've felt I've missed doing “IMPORTANT THINGS” until I get the text or the phone call saying, “Thank you. You might not have realized it, but you helped me get through a tough patch or helped me see myself differently, or helped me forgive myself for making a mistake”

I guess my point is, I understand and I try not to take this platform for granted or lightly.  It's not as large as it use to be, 500+ people daily, but it still positively impacts many people's lives.  I understand, and I hope you also understand, interactions and help are never one-directional.  I've been told I've helped many people through this platform, but many people have also helped me. So thank you.

I'm as thankful to you as you are to me.

Part II 

Inspired by a conversation with my wife while we were out on our date night last night.

This is about all of us, per se...

I miss you Friend, Brother, Cousin, Sister, Mother, Father, Uncle, and Aunt.  We used to talk every day about anything and now we barely talk.  Was it me or was it you?  Does it really matter who?  I just know I miss my partner and my friend.  Sometimes our minds, egos, and pride get in the way.  So let me be the first to say I'm sorry, I love you, I miss you, please forgive me and I forgive you.  I know it might not be the same as before, but can we start some new, something better than before?  And if that means I have to call you more, I will, I promise. I'll do my part.  So let's move forward.  Life is short, time is valuable, and what we had was special so whatever reason caused us to drift apart,  let's let that reason drift away.

This is for anyone to use...

Have a great Tuesday!

Stay safe!
