What happens when you deliberately tweak your conscience to be more aware of meeting others' needs? Every day? And if it happens to be Lent...for 40 days? What does that look like? What deeds would transpire? What blessings come back? How do we listen for direction? Wake up each morning and decide to be intentional about bringing others better into focus with a little prayer, silence and scripture. Let the daily deeding commence! #DoingUntoOthers #OthersFirst #OneDeedADayGo
How to Do-Good
Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait

Dear Teacher
This woman's selflessness does not surprise me one bit. I've interviewed more than three dozen teachers this year as part of the Teachable Moments series — and every single one of them gave of his or herself completely. Just like this woman.
Emails are great, and easy. But writing a letter is super meaningful in today's fast-paced world. Imagine how special this simple, small act makes this teacher's former students feel. It's not rocket science either — it's just thoughtful.

Supporting an earlier point about the news. Sure, the news is full of doom and gloom. Most of it is not family friendly. But there are so many exciting glimpses of angels here doing incredible work. Next time you're on CNN, or TMZ even, look a little closer for stories like this one. Hottie Brian Williams is a deep well with his Making a Difference reports. Chezeck it.
