Lesson 577: Shine Bright

There's a bright glow coming from the Lamp Post tonight.

Maybe because we soaked up some vitamin D

last weekend.

Rides to the lake are always worth taking.

Vacant but beautiful shoreline.

Miles of rugged coastline

touched by winter's frozen hand.

Natalie was the brightest of the bunch tonight

as she headed off to Night to Shine

on a cold and windy night.

The special night 

designed for special people

is made possible by the Tim Tebow Foundation

in cooperation with churches

and many volunteers.

They make for a special night for the attendees,

but for the parents and caregivers, also.

A red carpet entrance,

a dance,

a dinner catered by Chick-Fil-A,

and a bag full of goodies

are all part of the evening.

proudly showing off her loot to the Lamp Post gang of regulars.

Please watch this message from Tim Tebow himself--

a good guy

who is working for the greater good.

Weekend homework:
What greater good do you have in you?

What's my good?
I don't know.

I think a lot about it.

I've come to the conclusion

that if you are using the gifts God gave you,

with the best intentions possible,

and giving your best each day--

your purpose reveals itself.

Maybe I've answered the calling I had when walking across

the Edinboro University campus as a sophomore,

making an unplanned U-turn into my advisor's office--

and switched my major to include Special Education.

I hadn't thought about it before that--

just that day.

It was a urge that couldn't be ignored. 

So maybe they are my greater good.

Or maybe it's all these dumb photos I take.

They aren't great,

but they make people happy,

especially when they land on one

that has been Eloised.

It doesn't make Eloise too happy when people steal her camera

to take nostril shots though.

Or maybe my good is in telling you the best places to go for a walk

when the sun shines brightly.

I take Hazel for sniffs lots of places

and we know all of the best and brightest spots around.

Or maybe its in the sharing of the good places to go.

where the lights shine bright,

especially the lunar lights tubing hill

at Peek n Peak Resort.

It could be in sharing all of my reads.
This one looks especially good 

and I'll be starting it this weekend.

I can't wait to read Georgia Hunter's family story.

Maybe I'll write my own someday,

and I'll title it

We Were Lucky, Too.
