Saturday Sips October 2022

Saturday Sips October 2022 is a short recollection of what I’ve learned this month. I’m following a format known as Share Four Somethings, and I hope it inspires your own reflections on what you’ve learned this October.

Something Loved

I love October because it is my birthday month, and I enjoyed celebrating it with my three children.

On my birthday, my daughter and I had a fancy lunch at our favorite local Thai restaurant.

Then I enjoyed dinner at home with a bakery-worthy chocolate cake made by my daughter along with lots of sweet gifts.

I got to go to a St. Louis Cardinals’ postseason game three days after my birthday. It was a tough loss but I loved my quality time with my oldest son. Also I got to see Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols take their final career at-bats, so it was a historic game.

Something Gleaned

I’m reading the book Pure Pleasure by Gary Thomas. It’s wonderful, and this single page spoke so many needed truths to my Enneagram 1 hard-driven self.

This sermon by Craig Groeschel spoke right to me in my fight against burnout.

Also, this Psychology Today article encouraged me with three easy-to-do tasks to fight dementia – why not start the fight in my 40’s?

Something Braved or Saved

I wrote a post for Kingdom Edge Magazine titled Doing Faith Scared. It’s probably the most vulnerable post I’ve ever written for them. Read it here to learn what I’m braving this month, and be encouraged.

Something Achieved

I had three photos place in The Year in Color contest at my local nature center. Here are the photos.

I also reached a milestone of 500 YouTube subscribers on this channel.
