Pastor Wants Me To Teach Him

When was the last time someone came up to you and asked, “Will you teach me how you do it, since you’re an expert?”

Like never, right? Yeah, me too.

But yesterday that changed. A neighbor, and Pastor, asked if he could “shadow” me and watch the blogging process. He knows I write five different, but interconnected, blogs every morning.

Our first meeting will be in the next few days, at 5:30AM.

Are you dedicated? Are you an expert? Do people ask you for advice?

You’re invited to share tips here if you want. Or, just come along for the ride. God doesn’t waste anything. Everything is used for good, even our mistakes and regrets.

Who’s In Charge?

Ever find yourself criticizing others? You know, the easy temptation to judge someone else’s habits, say a person who attends Church and publicly displays their Christianity or Spirituality?

We watch these “Christians” and score them based on what we see them do.

Do you ever wonder how many others are doing the same thing to you?

Ever wonder what score you are getting?

It’s easy to see the plank in another’s eye, but not see the one in ours.

There’s Got To Be More To Life

Patrick Henry Hughes was born without eyes, legs that don’t work and arms that barely work. Imagine his parents surprise and subsequent life challenges. Imagine Patrick’s life challenges.

Imagine your own.

Debbie, our dearly beloved colleague and friend, we miss you already and we don’t understand why you had to leave so soon.

I hope we all meet again on “the other side”. Offering this personal video I shot during Easter as a final tribute to your final destination, wherever that might be.

Wednesdays Have Been Challenging

Ever make a commitment to volunteer, and do a pretty decent job at fulfilling your promise to yourself and to the others?

Ever stumble and fall, and wonder if you’ll be able to recover?

What do you do? Give up? Keep on keepin’ on?

Tonight will be the first time in weeks I’ve been able to attend Catechism. Traveling as a professional speaker sometimes inhibits the ability to live up to that volunteer commitment – to the teacher and to the children.

There are many lessons to be learned here.

Questions

Are These Paths Different Other Than Color?

Sisters Clanton and Akin came to talk to me on Friday night, but I did most of the talking. Probably a defense mechanism, designed to control a stereotypical conversation from “door-to-door salespeople”. They were selling the good news of Jesus, according to their Book of Mormon.

They were kind, friendly and very gracious.

Wish these questions would have come rushing forward before they left:

Do you still want or need to speak with me, after knowing I’m a full-blown Christian?

Who’s your target audience?

What’s at the very center of your belief that is critically different from mine?
