100 people (not) to listen to

Scott Ginsberg wrote an awesome post about 100 people NOT to listen to!  You’ve got to read it!

3. Don’t listen to people who … tell you what’s right or wrong.
4. Don’t listen to people who … tell you what to believe.
5. Don’t listen to people who … have nothing else to whine about.
6. Don’t listen to people who … think they know what you need.
7. Don’t listen to people who … say you’re making them look bad.
8. Don’t listen to people who … nastily try to induce insecurity in others.

life is precious

On Sunday I participated in a graveside and a memorial service for the son of one of my parishioners.

I am reminded by this experience that life is precious.  And that we should always treat one another with love, care and respect.  We never know when we may see someone for the last time.

In loving memory of Mike.
