One thing that happens when you get older is that the people you knew either change or move on. But what you realize is that moving on does not mean leaving your neighborhood, life or job. What I found out is that moving on is moving towards a new life on another plane. Two of my childhood friends and cousins have moved on from this world to the next. Gerald "Fat Daddy" Webb, 57, departed this life last Wednesday, March 5, 2014. He really wasn't fat. His older sister, Karen Webb-Martin, 62, left the day before on Tuesday, March 4, 2014. I don't know what happened but I do know that God's Will is done. I pray for a blessed and peaceful journey.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
