It means a lot to me that you’re here. Thank you!
Eddie shares what's on his Diet Dr. Thunder-fueled brain. Some weeks will be deep, some will be ridiculous, and some will be about his cat. But you can always count on being entertained and perhaps even a little inspired to reflect on your own journey. Welcome!
“I didn’t know anything about the event, and I really didn’t care. I’d never been invited to fly to a job before, much less risk my life at one. That’s right. Risk my life. Here’s that story…”
“Differentiating between the two will allow both people and deity to be accurate reflections of who they truly are: angry, loving, caring, hurtful, worth holding onto, and worth letting go of.”
“Anger and exhaustion and feelings towards God may wax and wane (by the way, God should be able to handle that). And maybe, just maybe, relief will be felt in small and big ways. But who knows? All I know is that I’m really sorry there are no answers. This is, indeed, really hard. You are loved, and you are not alone.”
“What I find myself considering this week is the strange juxtaposition between my longing for time to lapse and the sadness that will be experienced on Friday as we acknowledge that time has ended. Among the living, a lack of consciousness and deep rest is seen as a virtue, yet it’s that precise thing that we mourn when a hero is retired with honor.”
“I’ve seen everything happen in a wedding: the cake never showed up, the dad never showed up, the outdoor wedding with no plan B for rain happened during a hurricane, people passed out, brides and grooms were comically then terrifyingly late, the videographer drone buzzed down the center aisle DURING THE VOWS, divorced parents fought…I’m telling you, I’ve seen a lot. But what I’ve also seen is that never, ever, have any of the aforementioned distractions taken away from the wedding–not one bit.”
“We stand on the shoulders of those we admire, those who have hurt us, and those who have taken our breath away. We copy liberally, we do impressions of people without meaning to, and we weave their influence so tightly into ourselves that we literally become that influence.”
