I’ve been think about what I want to accomplish as a person. Here’s what I got so far…

3) Form and play gigs in a Van Halen tribute band
4) Build/Repair/Modify something in my house
5) Learn a song note for note each month
6) Read one business book every 3 months
7) 1 Family Vacation every year
8) 1 Lauren and Will weekend every year
9) Work up the courage for a tat – Scottish Family Crest w/the Italian Flag behind it and DiManto on the pole
10) See Journey live
11) Learn to play slide guitar
My Crown of Glory
The Bible makes many references to how a head of gray hairs is gained through wisdom, is a crown of glory etc.
I noticed in the mirror that I’m developing a few more gray hairs than I thought. I’m developing a little crown.
I’m a worrier. I think the best Italians are. We worry about death, about jobs, about providing, about homes, about others and about food. We worry about things that don’t even matter.
God tells us not to worry though. God tells us tomorrow will take care of itself. God tells us he will provide, he will make a way. God doesn’t work quickly. What is happening tomorrow is thousands of years in the making.
I think my gray hairs are worry lines. They are the tell-tale signs that I’m thinking way too much about tomorrow, and not enough about savoring today.
I need to let God be God, and enjoy the day he’s given me. Maybe I can put off this crown a little while longer.
