What do you have planned this weekend? Let me rephrase that – other than going to church this weekend (hint, hint), what do you have planned? With this being a holiday weekend you may have some pretty detailed plans. If so, that is great, but let me make a suggestion. We are coming out of hot, hectic summer and approaching an autumn that is typically filled with family commitment and renewed focus on accomplishing tasks at work. So, with this in mind, I would like to suggest that we spend some of the weekend recharging our batteries. At some point, take some time to rest and relax. Now you might find this recommendation odd – I mean shouldn’t we try to cram as much into life as we only have a limited number of days? While there is logic to that reasoning, I also believe that to make the most of our days, periodically we need to make the effort to “chill”. By taking the time to purposefully relax we give our bodies and our minds a chance to refresh. Some of us spent time in isolation or quarantine, doesn’t that count? Not necessarily. If we continued to work from home or worried about being out of the loop, we may have expended more energy than we saved. So, while we are healthy and feeling good, let’s enjoy some downtime.


I am excited about the possibilities that lay ahead in the upcoming months, so let’s take some time to prepare our minds and bodies for the opportunities we have. Do something nice for yourself this weekend and spend a little time doing something you want to do. If anybody asks, tell them Charlie said it was okay!

Think About It!

The biblical story of the Good Samaritan has changed our world. Notice I didn’t say that it had change religion or even Christianity, it has influenced the world. There are very few people who don’t know the moral of Jesus’ parable about the Good Samaritan. In fact, the phrase has become a common description of everyday people doing good to their neighbors. While Jesus’ parable from Luke 10 shares several spiritual lessons, one of the most practical is that good can be done by anyone. You don’t have to be a church official to do good, it is not only possible for each one of us to help, it is required of all of us. If a Samaritan can be good, so can we! After presenting the parable, Jesus asked the man who had originally asked the question about being a good neighbor which character in the story was a good neighbor, “… he said, ‘The one who showed mercy toward him.’” at which point, the discussion from theoretical to personal, “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do the same.’” (Luke

The other day I was watching a television show that used a rather common term applied to overcoming challenges. When organizations experience unexpected setbacks – especially when they lose key people – they rely upon the concept of “Next Man Up”. In essence, when our starters (or stars) go down, effective organizations rely upon their next levels to step into the vacancy. While this is an effective response, have we given much thought as to how we prepare to be the “next people up”? First, we must know our job. Even when we aren’t the primary players, we need to be preparing ourselves to be ready when we get the opportunity to shine. Second, we must do our best when we get the chance. Knowledge is important but what turns potential into talent is effort. Yet, maybe the most underappreciated aspect of this concept is a willingness avoid excuse-making and whining about the unfairness of our situation. When we complain about the circumstances that caused the need for replacements

When I was a youngster, I remember hearing about this thing called the Generation Gap. I was a little bit too young to be active in the social movements of the 1960s, but I do remember listening to the challenges the generations were experiencing way back then. Interestingly, now that I have been on both sides of the aging process, I have to admit that the Gap of the 1960s was nothing new. With the development of each generation comes conflict. The young people don’t feel like the older people understand them and the older folks tend to believe their input is being underappreciated. Too often trust is the casualty when two generations collide. The sad thing is that it doesn’t have to be this way. When we can capture the innovation and energy of the younger folks and harness the wisdom of those who have been around for a while we can develop a winning combination. No, we won’t always see things eye-to-eye nor will we necessarily speak the same emotional language, but when we app
