Ok, I'll do it, but you've gotta go first
May 28, 2008

Something reminded me recently of a phenomenon I noticed when I was a teenager. When a call for action is made, for example, to make a spritual commitment or change, we often find ourselves on the fence, wanting to move, but not quite willing. And as we ponder the situation, sometimes it comes down to someone else in our lives needing to make the first move, to lead the way. I think when we're kids, that's often our parents. When we're older, perhaps it's church leaders, like a pastor, perhaps our spouse, etc.

But it's interesting to consider the converse: Who in our lives is unwilling to make a move until we do? Who are we holding back by our inaction?

Ironman World Championship DVD
May 24, 2008

As we were wandering through the Ottawa Marathon paviolion today, I saw some footage of the Ironman playing on an LCD TV, and I was mesmerized. I'd love to watch the DVD sometime.
