BOB PEDEN
Do you start each day with a “do-you-in” list? Oh, you don't call it that. You call it a “to-do” list, but you often end up with a monster that may “do you in.”
Sometimes it feels as if our list ranges from “feed the dog” to “write a chapter in the novel” to “put up storm windows” to “prepare dinner for twelve.” That's what I mean by a “do-you-in” list.
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church, suggesting you try making this a new priority:
Today tap your special gifts. Focus intently on one task and do it well. The rest of your day may be taken up in small activities. But for a part of today, be at your best. Resolve not to dissipate your gifts and dull them in endless routine.
As Emerson said, “We are all entitled to be valued by our best moments.” Let your best moments break through the clouds of routine and shine every day.
