Dreaming

2021-12-13 Posted by Don Lifestyle, Scribbles

Three weeks past, I felt like all I was doing was a failure when I saw a bit of graffiti that I have seen at least three times a week for the last two years. Dream until it becomes your reality.

As a person of faith, I nearly always look for an option or a solution to problems. To dream is to look for the best solution and hold hope as the center of every action. Unfortunately, people were complaining to me and didn’t appreciate my options. Their response was to whine and threaten to leave. No solutions.

Almost immediately after seeing the graffiti, a corollary: Whine until it becomes your reality. Without a willingness to build solutions together, the whinging and complaining will suck the hope, joy, and desire out of the most optimistic.

Success is whole when there are options and possibilities: Dreaming(believing) gives life and potential. When all one does is whine and complain without the future dream, spiritual, emotional, and physical death is assured. Faith is the dream, hope, and expectation of healing and success.

Dream until it becomes your reality.

About Don

In various places throughout this blog, I describe me. But even then, I am more than that and often times less. I am a wanderer. Exploring gives me joy. I cook, and that is the reason for the entries that appear as both recipes and restaurant reviews. Knowledge and the ability to take that knowledge and build wisdom and insight makes me want to hop, skip and shout. I counsel, as a pastor, a spiritual director, and as the fool that is willing to live in dialogue. It is that foolishness informs this blog, my musing about faith, religion, and, life.

About Me

I recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of ordination as a pastor. This blog springs from a few years of writing, counseling and foolishness. Anything you find in the word cloud on the home page applies or has applied during this journey. Computers, shepherding and musing. Living, reach out………..
