There was a bridge a few miles from his home. No matter what the weather, he would roll down his window and throw an invisible package over the fence into the river. Inside, he said, he placed all of the day's worries, the to-do items left over from the day, and the stress. This physical act helped his mind and spirit make the turn toward home. He also joked that the package always seemed to climb back into the car the next morning on his way back to the office. John, your failure (and mine) means that you've set a standard. Keep looking at the standard, not your missing of the mark. I'll do the same. I’ll never forget Josh McDowell talking about how he transitioned home from the office or the airport after a trip.
