The Ball is in Play!
Action is the real measure of intelligence
Napoleon Hill
It is football season and the armchair quarterbacks abound
But they are not seasonal
There are always plenty of people ready to tell you
what to do
how to do it
not to do it
Makes you wonder where they get all the time-
Until you realize
They are not doing anything themselves
That game is over!
Your game is on!
and that's poetiquejustis
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press
on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I
do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies
ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of
God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14

Hold on there!
We forge the chains we wear in life
Charles Dickens
Shackled to our inconsistencies
Bound to our bias
Tangled in our temperament
Caught in the net of our misunderstandings
When are we going to set ourselves free?
Today seems as good a day as any!
If you let go of what is holding you
It has no choice but to let you go too
and that's poetiquejustis
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free
John 8:32

Life's Little Leftovers
It is not the leftovers that are wasteful-
it is the people who do not know what to do with them
or cannot be bothered.
Julian Baggini
What have you got left over at the end of your day?
A cup more energy?
A crumb or two more of a smile?
A tablespoon of curiosity?
Whip up a bit more life!
Throw what you have left on the fire!
Then invite someone to dine with you on the very joy of living!
After you do all the things in a day you have to do-
sometimes the "leftovers" you share
are the best part of the day!
and that's poetiquejustis
Do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God.

Making It Up As You Go Along
Life is what you make it. Always was- always will be
Grandma Moses
Make the best of it
Make the most of it
Make it up as you go along
But make it the best day
The best moment
The best life
That you can
and that's poetiquejustis
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good
stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks
oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that
God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Up And At 'Em
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs
but how high he bounces when he hits bottom
George Patton
Ups
and downs
Over
or out
In the money
or in the soup
Top of the heap
Bottom of the pile
It doesn't really matter
What matters is what happens next
And that's poetiquejustis
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of
it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead
toward what is ahead
Philippians 3:13

Habitual Life!
Life never becomes a habit to me
It's always a marvel
Katherine Mansfield
There is a fast food place nearby my office called "The Habit"
I hear it's good
I mean- how do you argue with a fast food place that has Ahi Caesar salad?
So they kicked it up a notch....
I still refuse to go
The name annoys me
Habit = rut= sameness
I am looking for
The Surprising!
Ok...perhaps I am asking too much of a restaurant
But if I am going to have a habit
it is going to have to be called
"Something Marvelous"
and that's poetiquejustis
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.
