October Change and The Greatest Discovery

Reflection

Two weekends ago, we were blessed with a visit from our two granddaughters. I feel so alive whenever I am around them.

They are a couple of beauties who infuse nothing but joy and positive energy into this old man.

Their mere presence quite simply lights me up and makes me feel younger.

Fun Facts

I would not have the two granddaughters I have today had I not made a significant attitude adjustment over forty years ago.

I’ve told this story before, but the opening quote spurred me to share it again.

In my second year of college basketball, I copped a major attitude with the head coach. He knew it and buried me on the end of the bench.

I decided to quit and transfer to another school, but my brother convinced me otherwise at the last minute.

So I hung in there.

I changed my attitude.

I ended up in the starting lineup during the latter part of the season, and I ended up having a great college basketball career at Ohio Northern University.

I met my wife Lori at O.N.U. the following year.

She’s a huge part of the reason we have two beautiful granddaughters today, and if you’ve ever read anything about my recovery from substance abuse–a huge reason why I’m alive today.

It’s scary when I think of where I might be today if I hadn’t changed my attitude forty-some years ago.

Question

Does your life need to be changed?

If so, try taking a look at your attitude.

Proverbs 17:22, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
