Here are 47 thoughts from 47 years on Planet Earth
I began another orbit around the sun last week.
Lets get to the list...

(24 have numbers, the rest are in the descriptions)
1. The Journey IS the destination. It's not "over-there". It's here. And Now.
Every choice I make affects me and others.
2. Surrender everything to God. It’s not my story, it’s His.
Measured conscious decisions lead to different actions.
3. I always have a choice. Will I pause long enough to make the right choice in the moment?
4. Everyone is the sum of their life experiences. If you had their experience, you might act just like they do.
5. What you focus on grows. It also changes the way you behave.
6. Avoid exploiting others for your own personal gain or pleasure.
7. Having kids is harder and more rewarding than you can imagine
8. Have a handful of people who would willingly 'carry your casket' at your funeral.
9. Build a board of directors for your life.
10. Praise people often. You can always find something good to say.
11. Make a habit of listening to God. Reading the Bible and two-way Prayer journaling is a good way to do this.
12. Porn and other addictions are a symptom of emptiness and brokenness in your life.
13. People love good stories. Probably why the Bible is so popular. And Batman. 😬
Usually you have to do this daily.
Or hourly.
Or every couple minutes - depending on the situation.
14. Confessing your sin to a safe person will change your life for the better.
15. You can quit reading a book if you don't like it.
I wasn't paying attention.
16. Obey. If you think it's God - GO!
(You won't do anything if you don't start).
17. Record your life. Even if its just one sentence a day - Write down a moment you remember.
18. Seek to know God's word AND His ways.
Don't be so serious!
19. Make Someone's Day. Give a compliment. Smile.
20. Choose your attitude. Every Day, Every moment.
21. Make memories with your kids and spouse. They last longer than "gifts".
22. You can learn something from every person you meet. It might be good. It might be bad.
(Even though it may not look like it in the moment).
(Rom. 8:28)
23. I can't model perfection, but I can model repentance.
People will hurt you, but you hurt yourself when you don't forgive.
