The Ordinary

I have often mentioned to folks that I do not watch reality television. Why? Because it is not reality. I remember watching the very first episode of the very first Survivor. When the episode went off, I looked at Trish and told her that I wouldn't be watching anymore of that because, it isn't reality, it isn't survival. If you want a true survivor show, drop twelve people off on a remote island, leave them with no provisions, no camera crew, no medics, and when you come back eight weeks later, the person that has lost the least weight is the winner - they have out survived the others; that, my friend would be reality.

I know why they make the "reality" shows so unrealistic. Because, most people would find true reality absolutely boring. You should follow me around for a day. Yeah, that would be a huge dose of reality. So many people lose sight of the fact that real joy lies in the reality that even on my worst day, things are pretty good.

Today's word is a quote from Bishop Gore, which says, "GOD does not want us to do extraordinary things; He wants us to do ordinary things extraordinarily well."

GOD doesn't want us to go out and conquer Mt. Everest, if you do, that is well and fine, but for the most of us, that is not His plan. He simply wants us to do what we do to the very best of our abilities. Some people think that they have to accomplish some great feat and make a "name" for themselves, when the reality of it all is that GOD simply wants you to do your best in each instance. Live the moment - it could be the most important of your life! That is REALITY!

Be Blessed,
