What was said:

The face you present to the world is a little zany and unpredictable. You keep people on their toes.
You’re proud of your uniqueness, and you don’t care if others think you’re a little crazy. You’re not exactly normal.

On the inside, you don’t operate the same way as most people. You’re not crazy, just not neurotypical.
Your mind works in interesting ways. When you get the same input as other people, you come to a very different conclusion.

Your friends love your nuttiness because you always present them with an interesting and alternative perspective.
Your theories and beliefs can sometimes be a bit out there, but you always enlighten and inform others in some way!

Your Intensity Makes You Adorable
The face you present to the world is one of determination, passion, and depth. You aren't fooling around!
You give everyone and everything your all. You go all in because you feel like something worth doing shouldn't be done halfway.

On the inside, you are less intense than you seem. You can truly be yourself and savor the smaller things when you're alone.
And while you can have a larger than life persona, you really cherish your introvert time. You need it to recharge.

Your friends love your intensity because you are never dull or uninspired. There is so much that can be learned from you.
You are always discovering new passions and and obsessions. And you can't help but tell everyone you know about them!

Golden Eagle

May 8, 2013

My son Mark and I were leaving the Clyde Peterson Ranch in Wyoming to head back to Michigan. In the distance we spotted a huge bird sitting in a solitary tree overlooking a steep canyon. As we approached, the golden eagle leaped from the tree and soared out over the canyon, the golden streaks in its feathers shimmering in the morning sun. Its immense size and beauty filled us with wonder. We felt privileged to witness this magnificent demonstration of God’s awesome creativity.

Creation displays God’s “wondrous works” (Ps. 145:5). And when we stop to meditate on those works, we can’t help but be awed as our minds and spirits are moved to reflect on the character of the God who created them.

That golden eagle told my son and me a story of the creative genius of our mighty God. So does the flitting songbird, the doe with her playful fawn, the pounding surf, and delicate little flowers such as bachelor’s-button and spring beauty. In the most unexpected moments and out-of-the-way places the Lord shines His glory in this world in order to reveal Himself to us. Those serendipitous moments are opportunities to “meditate . . . on [His] wondrous works” (v.5).

This is my Father’s world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas—
His hand the wonders wrought. —Babcock
Always be on the lookout for wonder. —E. B. White

Read: Psalm 145:1-7

I will meditate . . . on Your wondrous works. —Psalm 145:5
Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 4-6; Luke 24:36-53

That is a difficult question, but all things considered it must be my wisdom. As time passes the urge to broadcast that wisdom becomes irrepressible.
