#14

One of my blog mentors - Bob Roberts - was writing recently about his reflections from the last 20 years of journaling (yes, 20 years!).

And #14 on his list was this: "Big things come from small obediences"

Man, how true. As we've been seeking to learn together, it's about moment by moment following Jesus in the 'trivial' details of life. If we stay connected in the 'small moments' we'll be prepared for the next moment and the next . . . and the next . . . and the next . . .

And the truth is, there are no 'trivial' moments or details -- every breath we take on earth is counted in eternity.

And you could just ask 'Sully' how 'trivial' all those small moments of studying and practice were . . . the ones that allowed him to park flight 1549 in the Hudson River.
