Blind Trust Lex Gillette, a blind long-jumper from North Carolina, participated in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games. Before an event, his guide shows him around the course. During competitions, the guide positions Gillette at the starting line, then goes to the sand pit, where he claps and calls steadily so the athlete can follow the sounds and run straight ahead. Gillette knows to jump when he hits his 16th step. Unable to see where hes going, nor the line from which to jump, nor where hell land, Gillette entrusts himself fully to his guide. The result? Three consecutive silver medals, and a world record set in 2011. Were all blind to what lies ahead in life, so our guide, the Holy Spirit, goes before us and beckons us forward in the way we should go. Entrusting ourselves to God, we can do great things.

(See Exodus 31:1-11.) An Exciting Eulogy Some men were talking about death and dying when this question came up: What would you want people to say about you at your funeral? One replied, Id want people to say, He was a great and compassionate humanitarian who cared about those in need. A second said, Id want people to say, He was a good father and husband, whose life was a fine example for others to follow. A third answered, Id like them to say, Look, hes moving!
