The watch, along with the broken band are sitting on my desk. While you continue to glance at the wall, I continue to glance at my watch-less wrist. And when at my desk, I then glance over to the pile of parts that need simply be taken to the jeweler to be adjusted and reassembled. Similarly, when I look to my own self and my brokenness, I need remember that it's my Maker that makes me whole and fully restored. Thanks for now putting new meaning to my naked wrist. I will continue to think of these lessons...until my watch finds it's place once again.

Affirmation is so powerful. I think it's a tool we can be intentional about developing, too. It's almost an art. A well-placed affirmation can simultaneously affirm where I am and challenge me to move in the direction I want to go. A catalyst for positive change... An essential skill for influential leadership!

It would seem that as Almighty God, He already knows us completely, and that it is "we" who should want to know "Him" better. His wanting draws our heart to more wanting.

It's a cruel trick to jam these two events back-to-back. I'm going to read this post again Friday morning. What a challenge to maintain Thanksgiving in the midst of Black Friday.
