Opposite or the Same
I got the opportunity to speak for Pat yesterday. He is gracious to let me stand in for him when he needs a break. Well, as I was “waxing eloquently” speaking on Excellence and our desire to live lives that honor the Father of Excellence I made a huge blunder. Thankfully, I had said “excellence doesn’t mean perfection”. I made the statement “sometimes I need to look at the enemies (meaning the opposites) of excellence to have a good understanding of what is meant. Some of the synonyms for excellence are apathy, laziness, and mediocrity.” It wasn’t too long after I finished the message that someone came to me and enlightened me that an antonym is the opposite of a word and synonyms can be interchanged.
It is good to be a living illustration for the people. (kind of like chicken or poultry)

Kyle,
Hey buddy. I like your article. I hope you and the family are doing well. I enjoyed seeing the pics of you and the fam. I miss you guys.
Anyway, I appreciate your vulnerability… and I truly laughed out loud at the synonym/antonym thing. That’s funny.
Stop by and check out my new blog at http://www.stickyboomerang.com — I will also be starting to populate my more personal blog at http://www.brianwebbblog.com sometime soon.
