We used to write after-action reports. Summaries that told the good, bad, ugly, and what could be done better the next time. I do them in my mind all the time. After each spent moment, I wonder what I could have done better, and purpose in my mind to try harder next time.
After all is said and done, I want each attempt to be better than the last time.
Sunday afternoons have become my time for reflection.
I may not be able to do everything at church, but I can help others do their best.
A conversation could have better results.
My message could flow differently.
Did I do my best, or was I just tolerable?
“Doing Better Next Time” (By AI on how to do better.)
Every stumble is a setup for a stronger step.
Mistakes may sting, but they also teach.
Don’t dwell in regret—grow in resolve.
Next time is your chance to take what you’ve learned
and do it with greater heart, wisdom, and grace.
I read Robert Frost and think, I could have said that.
More recently, Becky Helmsley has taught me that good words are there to be found.
From every substantive read, I find better ways to tell the tale.
Different paths. Different results.
After all is said and done, I want to get better every day.
Thank you for reading.
