A bridge from A to B
When I do get out of bed early to work out or write, I feel very confident all day, like I’m wired into my values and my purpose. I feel a little like a rock star. There’s a prayer on page 836 of The Book of Common Prayer that includes a line that describes this rock star feeling for me:
“We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which SATISFY and DELIGHT us.”
So, what is Good News?
I believe that your life, and mine, are to be lived as Good News, as a good story, a rewarding existence. We have the agency, the choice, to live in certain ways that enhance the rewarding nature of life. Our very lives and the ways we choose to live them point to what we value.
