The Great Awakening was the name given to a giant religious revival in the 1600s. While you may not be looking to be awakened in that sense, I do hope I can awaken you to different things I find inspiring, or just what's on my mind on a certain day.

Better Days
We've all had one of those days where nothing seems to go right. Today was kind of one of those days for me. I went golfing with my dad and I wasn't doing that well. I would aim one direction and the ball would go somewhere else, my putts were awful to say the least. Basically, by about the 4th hole I wanted to quit. As I was setting up my shot on the fairway, I heard a noise. I turned around and there was a hawk soaring past me, screeching. If you've never heard a hawk screech before, it's one of the most awe-inspiring things you will witness. It slowly flew over us and landed in a tree on the side of the hole. It was a beautiful sight. After watching that, I suddenly felt a lot better. While my golfing didn't improve much the rest of the round, I didn't let it get to me as much. I think was God's way of helping me relax more. And at the end of it when I added up my score, I shot a 53. That's the best I've ever played. How about that?

Amazing. I have had the VERY SAME experience. TWICE! Always a hawk. Always during a less than spectacular round.
