Dear Adam,

Yoo-hoo.  Spriggs.  Hellooo?

1. That guy that called you a poser…  Well, he was actually right.  You won’t care about freestyle bikes in a few years.  At all.
2. Stick with that computer stuff.  It’ll bring home the bacon.
3. Get to know your dad.  He’s got a softer side.
4. Stop trying so hard to follow all the church rules.  They won’t get you there.
5. Be a good friend.
6. Get off your butt and work…until you’re sweating.  Get your work ethic on.
7. You are allergic to peanuts and pine trees.
8. So you think you have people figured out?  Just stop it.
9. You can’t fix some things.  Take a few steps into reality, will ya?
10. 95% of the things you think are needs…yeah, they aren’t.
11. Don’t be scared of failing.  Take a risk. You have what it takes.
12. People will still snicker a little when you say you like Stryper.

Sincerely,

You

Your turn.

What are some practical ways to build trust between the following generations?

1. Baby Boomers (1946 – 1960’s) -> Generation X (1960’s – 1980’s)
2. Generation X (1960’s – 1980’s) -> Millennials (1980’s – 2000’s)

• Plumbing is not for me
• Growing spiritually doesn’t happen outside of community
• Forgiving and forgetting isn’t easy, but it’s necessary.  It’s a sad state of affairs when you let someone from your past dictate your present demeanor.
• Listening and discernment can make or break a ministry.  If you aren’t aware of what’s going on around you can’t lead effectively.
• Car repairs: I hate them and they put me in a foul mood.
• Some things just don’t happen quickly.  Waiting is OK.
• It takes pain to grow.
• I’ve decided I don’t care about politics.  I’ll be an informed voter but I’m not going to waste any mental energy on it anymore. I have better things to do.

Time seems to stand still when…

• I’m in a hurry and I’m stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
• When I know I don’t have to get out of bed for anything on Saturday morning
• The day before vacation.

How about you?
