“No man steps in a river twice,” Heraclitus said. Life’s an ever-flowing stream—always shifting, never static. Fighting it exhausts us, but flowing with it? That’s where growth lives. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV) echoes, “For everything there is a season…” I’ve resisted—new jobs, moves, losing Mom—clinging to what was. But God’s in every twist, shaping me through the current. Letting go of my old step goal taught me this—change isn’t the enemy; it’s the sculptor.
What shift can you embrace today? Maybe it’s a challenge—a diagnosis, a job loss—or a chance, like my 5K. Each bend’s a lesson, refining us for His purpose. I’ve fought change, digging in my heels, only to find peace when I let go. Beauty emerged—stronger faith, new dreams—when I stopped resisting. Life’s not meant to stagnate; it’s meant to move. I’ve seen folks drown in the past—don’t miss the now.
Trust God’s hand in the flow—He’s steering you toward good. Step into the river; let it carry you. How does this view shift your lens? Change isn’t chaos—it’s creation. Lean in, and let Him mold you into something vibrant and new. What will you flow with today?
Questions:
How does seeing life as an ever-changing river affect your perspective?
What change can you embrace today for growth?

Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
