James calls us to mourn wasted time (James 4:9, ESV), but turning back to God brings victory. I’ve chased empty things—hours lost to distraction, days to apathy—yet redirecting to Him restored joy. It’s not about guilt, but grace. Reflect on what’s been fruitless—then pivot to His abundance (John 10:10). That shift’s your win.
I’ve mourned late nights scrolling, neglecting prayer—time slipped away. But God’s not done—He redeems. Turning back felt raw, but it birthed peace.
What’s pulled you off track? Let it go—He’s waiting to lift you. I’ve seen folks wallow in regret—don’t stay there. Mourn, yes, but rise rejoicing. His life’s abundant—victorious—yours for the taking.
Are you stuck in yesterday’s waste? Pivot—He’s your reset. How’s He brought you joy? Celebrate it—He’s turning ashes to beauty. Step into His victory today—He’s got more for you.
Questions:
What wasted time do you mourn?
How has redirecting to God brought you joy?

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.

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.
