I ran across this song I wrote and recorded in April 2020 and it reminds me of the reflections I posted last week, Scoreboard as Pulpit. Remember how the score in the middle of the game doesn’t determine whether you win or lose? In the same way, the conflict or uncertainty or drama in the middle of the book does not determine how the story ends. Read more and listen to the song . . .

These two girl bosses are taking control of their lives and their futures and they will not let anything come between them and their big dreams. Opening this business was not just a step. This was a leap - and it has me pondering big dreams and leaps. I wonder - what is it gonna look like for me to take the leap? What is it going to look like for you to take the leap?

It seems that races and matches are becoming a new kind of pulpit for me. As I cheer in the bleachers or at the finish line, the players and the runners and the game itself have a message and meaning that goes much deeper than the scoreboard.
