Some of what we call “not enough” today is exactly what we used to pray for. The home we wanted. The opportunity we worked for. The people we get to come home to. None of it became less valuable just because we got used to having it. I’m still chasing things too. But I don’t want to spend years working for something, finally get it, and immediately look past it. Thank God for what’s already good. Enjoy your people. Then go work your tail off for what’s next.

You can tell a lot about your health by what you have an appetite for. When you’re physically healthy, you want to move, train, get outside, and explore. When you’re mentally healthy, you want to learn. You’re curious. You want to understand things and stretch your mind. And when you’re spiritually healthy, you want to give. You want to love people, connect with them, help where you can, and leave something good behind. Real health isn’t just feeling good. It’s wanting to participate in life.

Somebody reading this can still make the call I wish I could make today. Two years ago today, my dad passed away. He was the best. He didn’t just want me to do well. He wanted me to do better than he did. I never had to wonder whether he was rooting for me. I miss him so much. But I know he’s at peace with the Lord, and that brings me real joy. I never saw him happier than when he was rejoicing in Jesus. To think of him living in that joy now, without pain or another battle to fight, makes me smile. I wish he were here, and I’m so happy for him. Both are true. Call your dad. Call your mom. Reach out to the family member you’ve been meaning to see. Don’t just say, “We need to get together.” Pick a day. Have coffee. Share a meal. Listen to the story you’ve already heard. Put your phone away. I’d give so much just to sit with my dad, hear him laugh, and spend an ordinary afternoon together. Nothing special would need to happen. That’s what’s so easy to miss while we still have each other. We think we need to make time for something special. But the time together is the special part. Please make the time. Love you, Dad!

Bitcoin bears have the headlines. Now they need the range. Hot inflation. Oil above $100. Rate-hike fears. Stocks selling off. They’ve had plenty of help. They pushed price lower. Now they need to break the range lows and keep it there. Meanwhile, these are wholesale prices within the current range. This is where I start looking for reasons to long, even with price moving down. Give me a setup, a clear place where I’m wrong, and enough room to sell higher, and I’m willing to take the shot. It’s business. Buy wholesale, aim to sell at a premium. If the setup fails, take the loss. But if bears can’t break this range with all this help, I’d be careful leaning on that ball underwater.
