Things I learned in February

The blur of February 2007 becomes finito today.
Here's what I think I learned:

  • Peyton Manning can win the big one.
  • Even true friendships require consistent cultivation.
  • Presentations to a Board of Directors can actually be enjoyable.
  • Meeting with a board of elders usually isn't.
  • People in their 80's have much to offer, and yearn for conversation.
  • Early Valentine's surprises can be a big hit, if done right.
  • In-laws can change their minds about you - even if it's just for a weekend.
  • A right attitude gained through daily prayer adds incredible strength to life.
  • Daily prayer is the easiest and one of the hardest activities a human can accomplish.
  • I can't help but see the potential in people, which means reality often frustrates me.
  • Putting big life events of our friends on my calendar helped us pray for them.
  • Bad spiritual leaders cause strife in truly great people.
  • There are too many undefined terms being thrown around in Christianity.
  • Change can be scary for people.
  • I have a LOT to learn about worshiping God.

You forgot to add that message sent isn't always message received. :) Maybe I should put that on my blog. And we'll see if Peyton can win the big one twice...

I have to agree with most of those, but for me I would also add that I'm learning not to put limitations on expectations...God can accomplish way more than my little mind can comprehend. The generosity of people continues to amaze and inspire me.
