Spiritual Development

She was in her late 30s and I will paraphrase what she said

. "Can you believe this weather, it is horrible. I hate the ice, the snow makes me sick, the kids get colds and I just despise it." The more she talked, the more it kind of brought me down. I began to say to myself that it was kind of bad. Have to wear gloves and coats and hats. I got my coffee, a tall coffee with room for cream, jumped in my truck and headed to work.

The first person that I saw at the office was spiritual development pastor, Preston Mitchell. I said, "Preston, how are you doing?" "All right! I am so excited, it's snowing. I love snow. It's a change of season. My kids love it. Dedo loves it. I love it, Ed. I just love the snow." What was going on in this scenario? The lady in her late 30s at Starbucks chose not to be enthusiastic and it rubbed off on me. Conversely, Preston chose enthusiasm, he made an intentional choice and his enthusiasm spoke to me in a great way.

Last week I began this series BECOMING A CEO and we talked about creativity. I will quote myself. I said, "Somewhere along life's journey most of us get a creative cramp." And I answered the question on how to get rid of a creative cramp biblically. Also along life's journey, most of us get some enthusiasm spasms. Have you ever gotten enthusiasm spasms? I have. Enthusiasm spasms tyrannize and paralyze our lives. They come in three basic forms.

Ed Young Pastor tells us that the first enthusiasm spasm that I deal with and you come in contact with is worry. Worry. I define worry as an inordinate amount of anxiety about something that may or may not happen. Do you ever worry about things? Here is my observation. Most of the junk that we worry about never happens anyway. Yet we still worry and worry.
