Moleskine: Being present is one of the greatest gifts we can give to those around us. It holds true in the realms of running, work, and relationships that our presence—although it requires sacrifice—is the main way we can promote transformation and growth in our lives.

Several Jokes. Here’s one:
A guy walks into a bar and orders 12 shots. Before the bartender even returns with the check, the man has slammed back half of them and shows no signs of slowing down. As the guy finishes his final shot, the bartender asks, “Why are you drinking so fast?”
The guy wipes his mouth and replies, “You would be drinking fast, too, if you had what I had.” The bartender asks, “What do you have?” The guy says, “75 cents,” and runs out the door.
Moleskine: Free speech is important to all of us. I’m going to use mine to say the following:
Now is the time in your life to make sure you carefully answered life’s most important question: what determines heaven or hell?
I’ve spent a lot of time researching the clearest Bible passages about this, and I’m happy to share my results if you are curious. Or better yet, search it out yourself.
COT: prayers.
