Tuesday. I’m up early and excited about the day. Time for some rambling!
Thanksgiving Dinner
- Today is our annual community Thanksgiving Dinner. I doubt the snow will slow things down too much. If you’re in the Kenmore area, don’t forget – 5:00 dinner at the community center! We’ll be there till 7:00, so come get a bite to eat.
- Later in the week, most of America will give thanks in a very common form: eating. We will gather around and have a meal. A great big meal is indeed a great big way to give thanks to a great big God who provides so much.
- If things are tight and your mouths are fed most of the time, it is still a great opportunity to thank God for all He provides. Which leads me to my next topic . . .
You live in Ohio, now act like it!
- Probably a full post cooking for the future, but for now let me just say this: the negativity can really eat at me sometimes.
- You live in Ohio. You’re going to have crazy weather – act like it. Drive like it. Let’s be grown ups here and remember we have a choice to live here!
- People complain when it’s too hot, when it’s too cold, when this is wrong, when that seems out of place, blah blah blah!
- It’s not that I never complain, but at some point even though it’s just fine to not like something, I question the wisdom in being so negative all the time that it brings others down. I really think the more thankful you are, the easier it is to deal with things (and people) you don’t like. Hmmm…..
Sports
- I just read a post at ESPN that had the top six Super Bowl contenders. What? No Browns!?!?!
- The Browns are not a bad football team. They just don’t have a quarterback. When you don’t have a QB, you have no rhythm. It’s very difficult to have the most important position on the field changing every other game.
Discipleship
- All Christians should make disciples. I want to be a leader that gives practical ways for this to happen.
- Here is a quote from Robby Gallaty, who I linked to in yesterday’s post: “I’ve come to realize that when people don’t know what to do, they don’t do anything.”
- Not doing anything is NOT an option. And, as a leader, leading in such a way that people do nothing is unacceptable as well.
