Last night I dreamed I was drafted by the Louisville Cardinals baseball team to play pitcher. First of all I couldn't believe it because I am NOT a baseball player. Fan for sure, but player? Not so much! I don't have the skills to play little league baseball let alone for a major college.
The funny thing about the whole thing though was in my dream after I found out I was drafted I started to practice. Makes sense to do that but what's funny is the WAY I was practicing. I dreamed I had a closet outside somehow that was full of clothes. I would take my place on the pitchers mound and throw pitches into the closet!
Even more funny was the fact that a group of little kids started to help me practice! They would run the bases for me as I would practice my pitching! I would also practice trying to get them out if they made an effort to steal a base or something.
It was a fun dream but super weird. I mean who has access to a closet OUTSIDE of all places? My dreams never cease to surprise me.
Sweet Dreams,
Joe

WWE Champions, Short Term Goals and Jesus
I had a dream last night that I was teaching a group of guys at church (something I used to do a lot of) about how to improve their relationship with Jesus. The way I illustrated it was kind of crazy...
I was getting frustrated with them because I was starting to lose their attention. The youth minister was trying to get them to listen to me too but it wasn't working. Finally I yelled out as loud as I could and said, "you guys care more about who the freaking WWE Champion is more than the Lord Jesus Christ!" Needless to say, that got their attention.
Once I had their full attention I went on very passionately explaining to them how important it is to keep their relationship with the Lord their top priority. Everyone was listening. And then I told them something I feel like was actually for me in my real life circumstances instead of a group of young men...
I told them they needed to focus on accomplishing short term goals rather than trying to conquer a lot of long term goals. I told them that creating an environment of a lot of short term accomplishments would help build a strong foundation and would help motivate them to knock out those more difficult tasks ahead of them.
I woke up feeling like I had to learn this lesson myself. It was kind of weird seeing me tell a group of people something I actually needed to hear myself!
