Leap Day
Feb/084
February 29. A once every four year occurrence.
What are you doing with your extra day this year? I'm spending my day recovering from a minor surgical procedure yesterday. Not exactly an auspicious use of the extra day. I do remember what I was doing four years ago today. I was a student minister in Indiana. On February 29, 2004 we hosted an evangelistic event for area Jr./Sr. High students at a Holiday Inn. Pretty cool way to spend the extra day.
But even though I'm spending this leap day in a vastly different way, I still see the extra day as an extra opportunity.
It's an extra opportunity to…
speak kindly and lovingly to my wife.
show my boys how much I love them.
thank God for all my blessings.
etc.
etc.
etc.
What are you doing with your extra opportunities today?

Man, that was four years ago? I remember it like it was yesterday. Rockin' the house with Sayings of the Wise. First and only time I've played in a Holiday Inn. Good times.
You probably don't remember this, but I remember that day after we had packed up and we all went to lunch together, and on the way walking to lunch, you told me that you could definitely see us leading worship professionally, and that meant a LOT to me because I knew you were serious. You have always been encouraging to me, but that one really sticks in my mind.
Sorry to change the subject, but I thought I'd share that. :)
And to answer your question from above, I'm just happy to be back in Cincy today after two days out of town on business.

I got to do my income taxes and got them all done in one day so since leap year day is an extra day, I am viewing it as if I didn't have to take time to do my taxes this year. YEAH!

Great perspective, everybody!
And Josh, I do remember that conversation. I remember a lot about that day. It was a great event. I think we should book something at a Holiday Inn again.
