As I type this entry, I sit in East Lansing, Michigan. Snow is covering the ground and cold is filling the air. I am not a fan of the cold, but I'm actually enjoying it - I do "sock-hats" well, right? I'm in the Cappuccino Cafe sipping on a brilliantly made cup of Joe . . . man life is great.
Last night I had the privilege of speaking to a group of people about THIRTYONEANOTHERS. My friend, Rich, pastors an inspiring group of people up here and he invited me to come up and introduce the principle of my book. As I spoke of love ( the central concept of the book ), I was reminded of the mysterious beauty that is found in meeting new people, connecting with them, and engaging them as they engage me.
I left them with the challenge of "loving with no regret." I'll close this short post and leave you with the same challenge, live your life every single day with no regret . . . live with no regret, speak with no regret, and love with no regret. I think you'll be amazed at the number of people you'll influence.
Connecting with people, loving with no regret. Wow, what a lofty, yet attainable goal.

My husband and I starting reading your book last night and we were all pumped up to LOVE everyone. Well isn't it just great that God decides TODAY to give us an opportunity to LOVE some people that weren't real loveable. I mean they are downright nasty.
Sometimes it's HARD to love, but my husband had to remind me that we need to learn how to LOVE others as Jesus loved us.
That's the great thing about asking God to help you do something, not only does He bring the opportunity, but it's gonna be a "doosy" of a lesson!
