WHAT POKES US?


What pokes us?
What gets us thinking, moving, probing?
What challenges us?

Weddings, wakes and funerals….
Coming around an aisle in the supermarket and a little baby 
in a shopping cart looks us
right in the eye and laughs 
and smiles at us….
A near accident while driving ….
Driving by a hospital, a cemetery, or bakery....

What pokes us?

A compliment, a dig, a criticism?
A horrible sermon or a good sermon?
A good novel or essay or short story?
A good NCIS show?
A great movie - even though the 
cost of pop corn is way too high....
Someone is not talking to someone….

What pokes us?
What gets us thinking, moving, probing?
What challenges us?
What has been the game changer for us?
