This will make my Alabama Football friends extremely angry at me … (sorry Keith, Mark, Helen and all..)But the pure joy in the stadium when Texas A&M beat the #1 team in the country this past weekend needs a 30 second view. With a tie game and time running out, A&M sent out their kicker, Seth Small, to win the game. Rather than watching the kick and action on the field, just watch it through the facial expressions, agonizing anxiety, and pure joy of his family in the stands. My favorite part? His wife, Rachel, was so fired up she jumped right onto the field to hug him! fb.watch/8De4fzCjWY/This is your day. Live (and Cheer) Inspired. J ... See MoreSee Less

"One thing...."Getting ready to tuck my youngest into bed. [In fact, hearing "Dad, I am ready for bed" from upstairs as I type this....so gotta run.]As they get older and bigger, the kids are pushing me away a bit, but I still tuck them in, still pray with them and still ask them three questions every night. 1. Where did you see kindness today? 2. Where were you kindness to someone else? and 3. What's one cool thing you learned today?They know the questions are coming each night...so it makes them look for the answers throughout the day. So, my friends, at the end of another day I thought I'd get you ready to wrap up your day. No, I won't tuck you in...or make you answer all three... but in a marketplace that's so negative and so divisive and so easily angered, let's celebrate some of the good. Share your answer to any of the three questions above....I'm convinced there is far more good than bad, but we need to train our eyes ... and our children ... to look for it.This is your day.

The problem with forecasts ...Four years ago, the city of St. Louis braced for a massive winter snowstorm.With a cold front advancing from the north, and a substantial line of powerful storms approaching from the south, a mighty snowfall was predicted for our region. Streets were salted, shovels were readied, and shelves formerly lined with bread and milk were emptied.I remember this storm for two primary reasons:The unmitigated joy of my children when the phone rang the evening before the storm canceling school for the following day. Our kids were now free to stay up late that night and play in the snow the next day.The profound disappointment of my children when they woke up, ran to their windows, pulled the blinds open, and looked outside. Our kids recognized that although they didn’t have to go to school, there was not even a light dusting of snow to play in.The weather reporters sheepishly explained that the “Alberta Clipper” burst of cold air had been so powerful it forced all the precipitation to our south. So, the kids enjoyed a snow day, with absolutely no snow.As the great philosopher Yogi Berra once noted, “Forecasting is very difficult, especially when it involves the future.”I thought of that quote from Yogi and the difficulty of predicting the future as the playoffs began for Major League Baseball teams last week.At the beginning of the season a group of brilliant researchers, backed by vast amounts of data and past experiences, predicted which teams would make the playoffs.Extrapolating how hitters would hit, fielders would field, and pitchers would pitch, games were virtually played, winning teams were chosen, losing teams were identified, and final records for the year were ascribed. It seemed the need for the actual season to even be played was meaningless as the outcomes were already determined.162+ games later I revisited those predictions.A team predicted to lose more games than they won, ended the season with the best record in all of baseball. Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants and their 107 wins!Four other teams predicted to finish with average seasons and watch the playoffs from their homes -The Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and my St. Louis Cardinals-made the playoffs.In other words, the vast majority of the predictions confidently made at the beginning of the season.... were as accurate as that winter storm warning.It turns out forecasting is difficult. Especially when it involves the future.Which brings me to a one final stat: research shows that 94% of news stories are negative. Twenty-four hours a day our friends in the media proclaim the end is near, the other side is out to get us, and if our agenda doesn’t advance, the best days are behind us.In the midst of all these challenges, how do we move forward?Try this: Stop mainlining the news. They are paid, literally, to spread negativity, spark fear, sow discontent, and enflame distrust. And they do their job extremely well.Now, my friends, do yours.Turn the television off.Quit clicking through the political blogs.Stop scrolling your social media sites.No, it won’t change the weather next week or ensure your favorite baseball team makes the playoffs next year, but it will fundamentally reduce your level of anxiety and anger today.It will allow you to view your life through a different, healthier, more accurate lens.And it will inspire you to spend far less time worrying about the negativity others proclaim and far more time actually leading a life that positively matters.Just make sure to pack a jacket and a pair of gloves in case it snows.This is your day.
