Raoul’s 2 Cents<\/h5>\n

Good Samaritan<\/span><\/h1>\n

I woke up and looked at my schedule for the day. It was pretty full: a business breakfast, a phone conference for a website, a meeting with an electrician with a trip to City Hall, a meeting with a gardener to repair a leaky sprinkler system, a meeting for a Robot Rally competition for several High Schools, then a ton of things to do in the office — I needed to conceptualize a marketing plan for a new client and finish up a website for another client. Yup, it was going to be a full day. So my first stop was my business breakfast meeting.<\/p>\n

My fellow entrepreneurs joked around and talked about everything under the sun for 2 hours. When the meeting was over, people started heading to their offices but Jesper blocked my exit and decided to strike a conversation. As he spoke, I was trying to find words to excuse myself and prepare for my series of meetings. But Jesper had a look of concern and I knew he needed to unload to someone. So I stayed and listened … and prayed.<\/p>\n

We live in a fast paced world where our priorities blur so easily. Sometimes we miss the opportunity to don our Super Hero outfit.\u00a0\u00a0[Luke 10: 30-35]<\/a>. This day, I almost did.<\/p>\n

I discovered Jesper shared my faith but he had forgotten how BIG God was. For almost an hour we shared life and his eyes lit up like a light bulb. A funny thing happens when you connect with someone — the energy you help generate somehow finds a path inside you that also lifts you up from your own concerns. It makes you want to do it again.<\/p>\n

Oh, and by the way, remember that long list of meetings? They went by very well. It was a very productive day … in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

TGIF people!<\/p>\n
