Unity (part 1)

I have spent a lot of time thinking about “unity” lately…what helps fuel it and what kind of things de-rail it.  Over the next few weeks I just want to share my thoughts (some may be random) about unity.

I think one of the most important things to know about unity is understanding what creates it. Whether you are searching for it in business, family, sports…anything-you gotta know what creates unity, what brings people together.  There has to be a cause.  Living in Canada I have watched Canadians come together to support Team Canada, the cause for them was the Olympic gold medal and national pride.  Even if you disliked certain players on the team, you still rallied around the team, you rallied around the cause.  You put differences aside because there was a known, visible, and defined cause…that created unity.

In church there has to be a known, visible, definable cause for people to rally around, the same is true in your business, and your family.  If you are having parenting problems and feel like you don’t unify with your partner, maybe the problem is a lack of a defined cause.  What are you trying to accomplish as parents?  What about business? What is the definable goal of your business, or your church?  People rally around and are unified by a cause.

Good old safety rope.

High Low for the Week

The Winner is…

Kendall Faith receiving the “Powers” award at NGP.  It’s the highest award given out monthly at the school, and it was such a privilege to go and see her honored for her hard work, dedication, and positive attitude.  Thanks to her teacher Mrs. Fry for inspiring Kendall…

The Loser is…

Ouch, being here in Canada when the US hockey team beat the Canadian team.  Now, I am not a hockey fan and really don’t care too much about who wins.  But most people here were mad at me…I’ll be glad when the hockey is done.  I can stop sleeping with one eye open.

New posts coming

I have taken some time away from blogging with the exception of “Monday Humor” and “High Low for the Week” entries.  Those are fun to do and don’t take any prep time.  I have just needed time to focus on my family (namely the new arrival…Hannah Grace).  I am gearing to start posting some new things in the upcoming months.  I am going to start a new series of blog posts on Wednesday about unity…I hope you’ll check back and read them.

High Low for the Week

The Winner is…

The Olympics, I love when they come around every four years.  I have been asked by many if I cheer for Canada or the USA…the answer is the USA, but I do pull for Canada when NOT competing against the Americans.  I have always done that, even before moving to Canada.  Here are some of the high-lights of this week for me:

• Seeing a Canadian win the gold medal for the first time on home soil.  It could not have happened to a better athlete.  Watching Alex Bilodeau compete and his brother watch from the stands was a great moment…he deserved the gold for sure.
• Shaun White…no description necessary.
• Lindsey Vonn winning gold in the downhill skiing, and watching several women fall…the best of which had to be the French woman who fell, about 15 feet from the starting line.  She looked like me skiing.

Week 2 promises to be good too, I can’t wait.

The Loser is…

My dog, if anyone wants a beagle you can have him, we might even pay for you to take him.  He destroyed a bag of trash last night and pulled the candy dish off the counter and ate every single, foil wrapped, piece of candy.

Happy Valentine’s Day

A day late I know, but I don’t post anything on Sunday’s…so here’s my Happy Valentine’s message to everyone.
