Love your enemies is one of those things that is very easy to say, but incredibly hard for me to do. In today’s social media connected world, there are many people out there that we may feel are just out to hate us, hate our positions, and hate everything that we hold to be dear. For me, it is easier to see the sliver in others eyes than the moat in my eye.

A little over six months ago my first grandchild was born. Our youngest is 15 years old so it has been a while since we had babies around the house. There are few things that will make people smile quicker than a child. I love being a grandpa. I can’t wait to have more grandchildren.

A few years ago I had the opportunity to be involved in a few clean water projects while I was living on Guam. I remember one where we helped supply some water barrels, piping, and rain gutter to collect rainwater from the roof of one of the schools on Chuuk.

In this day and age of instant worldwide communication and wildly polarized viewpoints – one of our lost arts is how to have a conversation with real people in real life (Not using electronic communications). In my professional life and in my personal life there are many times that we need to communicate with real live people. Being able to have a real conversation with people can put you ahead of the rest of the pack.
As Thanksgiving weekend comes to a close, and Christmas season is upon us, it is a time for us to move from being thankful and grateful to following our Saviour and reaching out to help others. #LightTheWorld.
