The quality of our vision depends quite a bit on our perspective. That’s why I’d like to make my Friday posts a list of things that affected my perspective for the week, whether that be a quote, things that I’m grateful for, or people that I admire. Hopefully these Friday lists will help me branch out to others, lead you to good things, and connect my blog to sources of inspiration, creativity and useful information.

Without further ado…

1. Bread For Beggars: After completing A Different December, I was invited to join this group of pastors, teachers, and bloggers who contribute to the Bread for Beggars website. I’m excited to join this team. Check out this site for music, sermons, blogs, and a great collection of Christian resources.

2. My Parents: Mark and Dawn, I’m thankful for you. You’ve had a great impact on my perspective by being the people who brought me to be baptized, enrolled me in Christian schools, and, most importantly, were spiritual leaders at home. I loved having you out here for a whole week!

3. Getting outside. I may actually lose friends over this (Midwestern friends), but the weather here in Miami has been gorgeous this week. Spending time outside, breathing the fresh air and getting some sun has been like medication.

What changed your perspective this week? I’d love to hear from you, and maybe feature some of your perspective changers next week Friday.
