    I would have prayed more, loved more and served more…

  2. Tyler (Man of Depravity) 30 October 2008 at 8:45 pm #

    Not reading a book for the 2 hours of free time I had.

  3. Los 30 October 2008 at 8:46 pm #

    My underwear

  4. Kristy 30 October 2008 at 8:46 pm #

    I would have woken up 20 minutes earlier. Everything goes better in the day when I’m the first one up in the house.

  5. Stacey 30 October 2008 at 8:47 pm #

    I would go to class and turn off the tv.

  6. Crystal Renaud 30 October 2008 at 8:48 pm #

    i would have said hello to her.

  7. stac 30 October 2008 at 8:49 pm #

    I would have played with my kids more.

  8. julia ruth 30 October 2008 at 8:51 pm #

    i would have smiled more….

  9. adam 30 October 2008 at 8:52 pm #

    i would’ve gotten some sleep. i’m coming up on 48hrs with only 2hrs sleep. not good.

  10. Michael Buckingham 30 October 2008 at 8:54 pm #

    I wouldn’t have been removed from @loswhit’s following list.

    @holycowcreative

    :)

  11. Peter Carino 30 October 2008 at 8:55 pm #

    I agree…more sleep.

  12. Mike 30 October 2008 at 8:57 pm #

    put my family 1st

  13. Fay 30 October 2008 at 8:58 pm #

    Yeah, me too on the more sleep part. And since I’m writing this comment at 12:57 a.m., with two blog posts of my own to finish, it’s unlikely that’ll happen today. Maybe tomorrow…

  14. Los 30 October 2008 at 8:59 pm #

    I would not have mumbled “bi+ch” under my breath as the lady who cut me off flipped me the bird.
    Sorry lady.
    I didn’t mean it.

  15. Annalise 30 October 2008 at 8:59 pm #

    Wouldn’t have watched Nightmare on Elm Street right before I went to bed…I’m a fraidy-cat. Slept with the lights on and was still jumpy all night.

  16. SimplyAubs 30 October 2008 at 9:03 pm #

    I would have voted early instead of obsessing over which haircut to get. Now I have to stand in line on Tuesday. Bummer.

  17. Ronni 30 October 2008 at 9:06 pm #

    I would have prayed prayers of blessing over them all.

  18. Sully 30 October 2008 at 9:08 pm #

    wouldn’t have taken the trash out when i did, because a black cat jumped out of the dumpster and scared the bejeezus out of me

  19. theT5guy 30 October 2008 at 9:10 pm #

    Would have obsessed less about my 10 yr old daughters Halloween costume.. She is going as David Crowder… It is AWESOME though :)

  20. Ben 30 October 2008 at 9:19 pm #

    for clarifying purposes, are we talking something from yesterday that we had control over, or just having the power to change anything at all in the world yesterday? Because if it’s the second, I think I’m going with my brother repenting of sin and accepting Christ, or my dad finally getting the words “I love you” squeezed out of his mouth.
    If it’s the first, I think I would have showered. I’m stinkin pretty bad.

  21. dan ohlerking 30 October 2008 at 9:23 pm #

    i would have kept my mouth shut a whole lot more. seems to come hard for me. so easy to talk, so hard to just listen.

  22. Avril 30 October 2008 at 9:26 pm #

    I wish I would’ve used my usual spaghetti sauce for my dinner guests tonight, rather than trying to get all healthy and stuff and go organic. It just wasn’t as good.

  23. The Epic Beat 30 October 2008 at 9:42 pm #

    I would have been more honest with my wife.

  24. Kyle 30 October 2008 at 9:43 pm #

    I would not go from normally eating 1 1/2 meals a day, to eating 4 meals today. My stomach is killing me. Tomorrow will be interesting.

  25. Sarah 30 October 2008 at 9:55 pm #

    Just one…. that sucks….

    I would not have stayed mad over a dumb thing that should not have pissed me off as much as it did. And then looked like an idiot for being so pissed.

  26. alicia 30 October 2008 at 10:15 pm #

    I would’ve spent more time with my husband on his one day off instead of running around all day.. :(

  27. sue 30 October 2008 at 10:33 pm #

    since it is now 2:30 am est…i would say that i would have taken some decongestants right around 9:30 pm, perfectly timed to be asleep by 10.

  28. amy 31 October 2008 at 12:21 am #

    brain tumors and children.

  29. dorothy (vicar of vibe) 31 October 2008 at 2:46 am #

    Would have remembered to dry my clothes for work today…
    ugh!

  30. Nic 31 October 2008 at 2:58 am #

    I would have bought that winning lottery ticket. You know…the one. and showered.

  31. John 31 October 2008 at 3:05 am #

    why are so many people up so late…?

  32. jan 31 October 2008 at 3:53 am #

    i would have worried less about medical tests – worrying won’t change what I find out next week anyway…..

  33. Pastor T 31 October 2008 at 3:55 am #

    I would not have been unfollowed by loswhit :-) .

  34. april 31 October 2008 at 4:02 am #

    i would have wasted less time. that was the theme of my day yesterday, and now I am up at the butt crack of dawn trying to get things done.

  35. tabitha 31 October 2008 at 4:10 am #

    I would have read more in my book.

  36. Jay Sellers 31 October 2008 at 4:49 am #

    I would have prepared more for rehearsal.

  37. jon 31 October 2008 at 4:50 am #

    I would have gotten to the Boys and Girls club earlier so I could have gotten one of the cooler jobs at the Halloween event.

  38. Heather 31 October 2008 at 4:51 am #

    I would have called my babysitter for Saturday night! Hope it’s not too late…

  39. Emily 31 October 2008 at 4:51 am #

    I would stopped thinking negative about a situation and got up and been proactive about changing my attitude!

  40. The Bishop 31 October 2008 at 4:52 am #

    Jay and I must play in the same band. I would have helped our front man do more prep so we would have a more productive rehearsal.

  41. The Domestic Goddess 31 October 2008 at 5:05 am #

    I would have stopped focusing on doing STUFF and focused more on my kids. They are only this young once.

  42. Justin 31 October 2008 at 5:08 am #

    I would have taken more time to talk to my son. To tell him that Jesus will keep him safe and he does not have to worry about the alligator under his bed…

  43. adrian 31 October 2008 at 5:22 am #

    i would have given her a hug.

  44. Jason 31 October 2008 at 5:23 am #

    I wouldn’t want to change yesterday, I would want to change Sunday. I would have come home 30 seconds earlier to catch the thug that broke into my house and beat him to a pulp with my baseball bat.

    Really, though. I wouldn’t change a thing. I just take these kinds of opportunities to change today and tomorrow.

  45. michael 31 October 2008 at 5:28 am #

    my attiude

  46. Jeff 31 October 2008 at 5:31 am #

    I would have done more for our wife on our anniversary.

  47. molly 31 October 2008 at 5:43 am #

    used a softer tone when speaking to my husband and kids

  48. Bubba 31 October 2008 at 5:45 am #

    I would have done something for someone instead of just thinking good thoughts for them.

  49. Marcus 31 October 2008 at 5:46 am #

    NOT ONE THING! It was an awesome day. OK…maybe one thing…I would have realized how good of a day it was during the moment, not until now when I’m realizing it. Oh, yeah, maybe eating one less Oreo would have been better!

  50. Lanna 31 October 2008 at 5:54 am #

    Procrastination…wouldn’t have done! In the words of Scarlet O’Hara, “Tomorrow is another day.” Yes, it is and I plan on making today count more than yesterday! Whoo-hoo, it’s gonna be a GREAT day!

  51. haemin 31 October 2008 at 6:08 am #

    i definitely ewould’ve slept more too.
    but @theT5guy – that’s an AWESOME costume, esp for a 10 yr old! your daughter sounds so cool!

  52. Pastor T 31 October 2008 at 6:19 am #

    Oops…got ahead of myself…didn’t get unfollowed…nothing, then, would change about yesterday :-)

  53. Stephanie 31 October 2008 at 6:38 am #

    I would have trusted more.

  54. Tina 31 October 2008 at 6:43 am #

    I’d have talked my husband out of the surgery and cared for him a bit more.

  55. matt 31 October 2008 at 7:26 am #

    pray WAY more.

  56. Kristi 31 October 2008 at 7:34 am #

    Opened my Bible. Why and how can I ignore that so easily?

  57. David 31 October 2008 at 7:42 am #

    I would have taken the way out. God always provides a way out.

  58. West 31 October 2008 at 7:59 am #

    amen to what David said right above me.

  59. AB 31 October 2008 at 8:19 am #

    I would not have sent him that text message…

  60. Tyson 31 October 2008 at 8:42 am #

    Is it bad that I am happy with yesterday?

  61. TIM 31 October 2008 at 8:51 am #

    I would have laughed instead of freaking out when I walked in this morning to find my cubical had been t.p’d.

  62. Reverb 31 October 2008 at 9:14 am #

    I got a letter from my sister yesterday…from jail.

    If I could change something, it would have to be the situation. To the point where I would never get a letter from my sister in jail…to where she would have never gotten addicted to crack and became something different than what was intended for her. That would be nice for today.

  63. Olivia 31 October 2008 at 9:38 am #

    not dated anyone until I met my husband. Then I wish we wouldn’t have kissed until the altar!

  64. Debbie 31 October 2008 at 10:29 am #

    From yesterday, specifically, my attitude!

    From all the yesterdays? The list would begin with not getting married when I was 18.

  65. Justin 31 October 2008 at 11:37 am #

    since you tagged this “authenticity” here goes, this is as authentic as I can get:

    I wouldn’t have gone to the porn shop, and gone down “that path.”

  66. Charlotte 31 October 2008 at 11:39 am #

    I wouldn’t have tried to implement all of the things I am learning in my new parenting book!! It didn’t go over so well with the kids or my nerves!

  67. znonymous 31 October 2008 at 11:55 am #

    I would have not lied to people that cared about me, wanted to love me regardless.

  68. jenn 31 October 2008 at 12:24 pm #

    i would’ve eaten a vegetable and some fruit instead of so much chocolate, and i would’ve read my Bible.

  69. shayne 31 October 2008 at 12:34 pm #

    I would have once and for all…become a more productive person instead of being lazy. I wouldn’t have worried so much about my the secret my daughter has been harboring for 6 months until she finally worked up the nerve to tell me. I would have praised God that she told me, been grateful that the situation didn’t turn out worse than it did, jumped up and down for joy that His grace not only covers us but it drenches us down into the darkest depths of our souls…Oh Father…forgive me for not being more grateful…

  70. Simone 31 October 2008 at 2:49 pm #

    I would put smaller chunks of chocolate chip cookie batter on the baking sheets and I would take the cookie out 2 minutes earlier. I know that is technically 2 things, but it would have made 1 great result with my cookies instead of the merged mess that they were.

  71. Elizabeth 31 October 2008 at 3:01 pm #

    I would’ve dodged my son’s vomit. Technically, I needed to have done this six times.

  72. Cynthia 31 October 2008 at 5:23 pm #

    That we can celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in a public place EVERY DAY and Halloween was the ‘bad’ word.

  73. supersimbo 1 November 2008 at 4:34 am #

    i would have not got angry and muttered some cuss words at someone who did not really do anything to deserve my wrath

  74. rachel 1 November 2008 at 5:28 am #

    I would of told him I loved him…I haven’t done it yet!

  75. Janie 2 November 2008 at 12:22 pm #

    Spent more time with the people
    i love, and who love me back!

  76. bianca 2 November 2008 at 8:17 pm #

    spending more time with my family.

  77. Ethan 3 November 2008 at 10:07 am #

    Spent more time looking forward instead of looking backward.
