Last night I saw a tweet from Gail Hyatt, the wife of Michael Hyatt of Thomas Nelson. It’s about four guys in a Brooklyn band named Atomic Tom. Recently their instruments stolen, so they hopped on the subway, using only their iPhones and their voices and performed their song Take Me Out.

I checked out the link and loved it. The music is great, their true talent and ability to perform purely in the midst of adversity makes me admire them all the more. I personally have never heard of them before but their mishap has turned me into a fan.

Many times things in life go wrong, but as Gail mentions below, when we’re able to improvise and trust the gifts that God has given, sometimes we’re able to go further.

I love-hate the old 90's film, "What About Bob." Every time I watch it, I laugh out loud, mostly in a nervous, really uncomfortable, I'm-not-sure-what-else-to-do, kind of way. The character,"Bob," is horrifically neurotic. He has OCD to the nth degree. He won't touch anything without cleaning it and his fears and hang-ups outnumber even the most terrified cartoon character. His only salvation, his only pathway through the bog of his own psychosis, is a pop psychologist who has penned a trite self-help book called "Baby Steps." Bob, like a desperate leech, latches on to the concept and begins to see improvement. He can suddenly take elevators by taking one baby step at a time. He can walk out of his living room because all he has to do is take one step, and then another step. Bob's obsession with the book leads to more uncomfortable, neurotic humor and the audience can chuckle because the scenario is just too absurd to be real. WE are not that crazy. WE obviously have better boundaries. We don't need to take baby steps. Right? RIGHT????

 Came across this video on a new Facebook friend, Collen Mckeown's blog. She called it "What Limitation Holds You Back."  The quality of the video is not great, but you'll get the picture...
