Tough

Today we went on visitation with our church, we set up everyone, & it sprinkled a little , but it went away. The first house I went to was weird. As I am walking to the front door the wooden door is open, but the glass screen door is closed, & I see a little boy about the same age as David sucking his thumb, & get this he had a lion under his arm, so did David it was so funny. The man came to the door, & took the John & Romans Bible said he would give it to the people of the house. Then he looks @ David , & tells the little boy, "look he has a lion like you" man it was funny. Then the next house over a lady answered the door, she listen to what I had to say, then she tells me she don't need it, I wanted to yell @ her tell her she did need it. I told her,"OK ma'am, but can I leave this scriptures with you" she tells me she doesn't need it. So then I tell her OK thank you for your time. Man it broke my heart, sometimes I would rather them just tell me no, & I wouldn't waste my time , but I pray to Jesus a seed was planted. The other thing that really broke my heart was when David asked me, "Why don't people want to hear about Jesus?" Man that was tough. I looked @ him & told him some people are lost, & don't know what Jesus did for them, that is why we need to be in church & tell people about Jesus." Then he asks,"Why are people lost & don't go to church?" Man it felt like the questions were getting tougher. Then I started explaining to him how we are all lost without Jesus in our hearts, asking him to save us from hell. Then he looks @ me & says," Come on Daddy lets go tell more people about Jesus". Then we get to next house I thought the questions were going to keep coming , but he saw a cat and started growling @ it, so that stopped all the questions for the day. Man it was pretty hard, to keep going thinking about that lady that listened, then changed her mind @ the end of the conversation. But we must keep going for Jesus, it is not us they are rejecting, they don't even know who they are rejecting. Till next blog.

Breakfast

Yesterday, I went to my sons' parental involvement breakfast, I had a little peek into his world, @ school. He kinda reminded me of me when he was saying hi to his friends. They would tell him, "Hi Micheal", he would look at them & say hi, but it looked like he meant whatever. he he. I do that sometimes, it is not that I am being rude I just don't think about what I am doing. Okay i might not care sometimes, he he. We went to his cafeteria, I was afraid I would walk into a dear friend of a friend, & not know what to say, but anyway thats beside the point. He is growing up to fast, he thinks he is so cool, but i have to knock him down, off his high horse j/k. I hope he is not like anyone when i am not around. My wife had to go with David, We had to pick our favorite kid j/k they both wanted us to go with them , but they were at the same time. Our boys are growing up so fast. Jr High wow, many moons ago i was in Jr high. Johnny is almost on his way out of Jr high to high school, scary.
