How is the writing
assignment going from yesterday? Wait,
you think, he was serious about that? Yup!
Okay, let me give you an alternative way to think about the invitation. What are the top ten or fifteen or
nineteen experiences and encounters in your life? You could actually make multiple lists. One could be professional; one could
be personal; one could be playful. For example, on one list I could put earning my
doctorate and serving three amazing churches.
On another I could put marrying my best friend and having two great children. On another I could put my love of Legos and
the awe I felt standing at the Grand Canyon years ago.
As a matter of fact, just
start making the list. Don’t get so
caught up in classifying or categorizing.
Just reflect on the story of your life and start writing. Again, I would love to see your lists when
you finish. May God, the co-author of
all our stories, guide and ground you in this prayerful, hopefully playful,
exercise.
