The Monday Morning Memo

“As I age, I think I grow smarter about who I choose to spend time with. If I could go back in time, I believe I would chase after folks who could mentor me on getting wiser and kinder each day. Those people were all around me, but I think they scared me off. I was worried they would find out what a loser I really was. Instead, I hung out in bars searching for patrons who might think I was pretty special.

It took me more years than it should have to recognize how many great people were all around me. I didn’t need to impress them. I just needed to listen to them.”

– Don Kuhl, Sept 21, 2018

Random Quote:

“There once was a little fellow who wanted to see the King. So he went to the royal palace and stood and waited at its iron gates, and after some hours the King emerged from the palace doors. The little fellow was thrilled: ‘I saw the King!’ He hurried back the next day, and the next. But what started as a thrill soon turned to frustration. Sometimes the King would stay inside the palace all day; at other times he would come out, but the little fellow’s view would be obscured by one of the pillars. Frequently, the king appeared for only a second or two before being whisked away in the royal carriage. And then there were times when it rained or stormed and he couldn’t wait outside at all. In short, what had started as a thrill ultimately turned to disappointment. But then, one of the King’s advisors approached the little man and said, ‘I know what you are trying to do, but you’re going about it in the wrong way. Go to the royal employment office and get a job—as a guard or a sweeper or any other kind of employee—it matters little what. What counts is that working for the King will be your ticket to inside the palace, where you will see the King as a matter of course. Indeed, he will likewise see you and come to know you by name.’

This is how to know God. What matters is getting to know him. Reading [the Bible] is just how to get there.”
