Big Johnny Doesn’t Pay
One day, a bus driver drove off along the route with everything looking normal for the first few stops, as usual. At the next stop, a big tall guy full of muscles got on. He glared at the bus driver and said, “Big Johnny doesn’t pay!” and went to the back and sat down. Now the driver was five feet two, thin, and rather meek. He was not happy about Big Johnny’s attitude, but he decided not to argue with him. The next day Big Johnny got on again, refused to pay, saying the exact same thing and sat down. And this was repeated also the next day, and the day after, and so forth, for weeks. The bus driver started to get irritated with Big Johnny’s attitude. Finally, he would stand it no more. He signed up for karate and body building courses as well as self-defense lessons. By the end of the autumn, he had become quite confident and strong. So on the next day, when Big Johnny got on the bus and said, “Big Johnny doesn’t pay!” the driver stood up. He glared back at Big Johhny and screamed, “And why not, Mister?” With a very surprised look on his face, Big Johnny replied, “eehhhh… Big Johnny has a bus pass

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I added a short thought for the day as I was driving in this morning.  Motivation was a problem for me as I’ve just completed two exercise related goals – Goruck Light and Hardship Hill.  It reminded me of 35 years ago when I hit my goal of a sub 40 minute 10K run on my first attempt.  Took me several days back then to be motivated to continue my training regimen.  The lesson is to always have a goal or goals.  As Snorkel said, “Always have a WHY.”

The second thing I originally planned is based on a Christian song with the words, “fully known and loved by You.”  The you is capital and it is amazing that our God is so loving that He loves us, yet He is really the only One who truly knows everything about us.  Everything.  He knows me more that my wife after almost 45 years of marriage.  He knows me more that any child, grandchild, friend, neighbor, … anybody.  Yet He loves me.  What a gift!  What grace!  What an example for us all!  As Jesus said, all the law is summed up in two commandments.  Love God. Love each other.
