I missed the mark… I didn’t invite anyone from work to our church sponsored barbeque and I didn’t invite my neighbors. I really fell short. I have excusses, but why bother? I missed it, plain and simple. What do I need to do to change? It’s too simplistic to say, “I can’t change myself, I have to rely on God” but too overwelming to say “I’ll pull myself up by my bootstraps, and fix this thing“. It has to be somewhere in the middle.
This Sunday night starting at 6:00 pm, we are hosting one of the church’s Summer Backyard Barbeque! Yes, you are invited. I’m also inviting my neighbors on all sides. I want to really begin to reach out to others and show the love of Christ. I just realized that I didn’t invite anyone from work, and that makes me sad. I think I’m going to call a couple of them tomorrow and invite them even though its a little late now. Maybe they will come.
Stephanie and I have a lot of work to do. We live like slobs (I know, we should start working on that, but one thing at a time -see My Weightloss-, OK?). The house needs to be cleaned up, the weeds in both yards need to be pulled, the patio needs to be cleaned up, the pool needs to be cleaned out, etc., etc., etc… Anyway, I’m hoping we can get it done quickly because I want to spend part of the day enjoying the day.
I started the offical ‘Sackrider Slimdown’ on Wednesday and one of my goals was to put 100 miles on my bike by next Wednesday. Well, I did not think that all the way through. :)
