People are the most valuable things in this life, they alone are the only thing that will last for eternity. There souls are the reason Christ became man, there souls are the reason God created Earth. It seems so obvious that I would put the highest importance on another person and there well being. But I don’t always do that, it’s easy for me to shift my focus on the task at hand and make that more important than people.
Here are a couple examples from this week………..
-Going to work I get to drive up St Rd. 1 every day and anyone who drives that road knows that you usually end up driving slower than the speed limit (to this day I haven’t figured out why). So when an elderly woman wanted to merge in front of me coming out of Bluffton my instinct was to but the task at hand (getting to work on time) ahead of this elderly woman and speed up in get in front of her.
-I played Basketball this morning and instead of focusing on people and making them the important part of the games, I wanted to win.
-I would tell you stories at work but that list is to long unfortunately of when I walk over somebody just to get a task or job done.
Needless to say I have room to improve but my goal is to make people way more important than any goal, task, job, possession, desire, or anything else that might come up.

I suggested to James that we should spray his bed with hairspray...that would have to taste SO bad...but then James brought up the point that Bruno would also smell like hairspray all the time. So that idea was scratched. But something needs to be invented... :)
