Grosse Point Blank Tulsa Style

Well, I got an invitiation to my 10th High School reunion in the mail. Part of me thinks, "wow...am I that "old" then?", and another started thinking of the 80's/90's movies I've seen that have High School Reunions in them and wondered if it would be a good idea to go or not. It ends up that I will be in my home town of Tulsa, OK the weekend before the Reunion, so I will miss it. Although I would have liked to see some people I haven't talked with in well, 10 years, I have held on to the handful that remain my cherished ones.

Thinking about seeing people I haven't seen in awhile made me think of how I honestly would want to impress them...or at least made me see how I would want to be able to feel good about myself and my story of the last 10 years. Silly huh, that I would want the good opinion of people who might not recognize or remember me. I realize that desire to have accomplished something great, that need to have had some worthwhile impact, position, skill or wisdom. I think I already had my quarter-life crisis and God helped me out getting a better perspective.

God is gentle in showing me its not how the world views me, nor their opinion or even my own that counts, but how He sees me. It's amazing...or rather He is amazing. Some thoughts.
