It's Monday, the day after Sunday. I am feeling the pressure to have something really profound, life changing and original to write about. I don't. I offer a few moments from the past couple days.
Last week I was denied the right to buy a homeless man coffee at Starbucks. Do you remember the story from last year when someone in the drive thru paid for the person behind them...that certainly was not my experience. I apologize to the man, the barista happily accepted my cash for my drink, the man left and I sat down to read my Bible (page marked by a do what's right postcard). It was so wrong.
The Rock n Roll marathon made it's way through downtown San diego on Sunday morning. My condo is in the center of the race course, meaning that by 7:30 am my home is surrounded on all sides by the 20,000 participants. No big deal, right? No, not really...unless you need to drive. It took 20 minutes to find my way out of the dead end at every intersection maze that the marathon created (I was happy not to be speaking on patience that morning at church).
Speaking of church, I really enjoy gathering with our community on Sunday mornings. The service is a small part of what we do and does not define who we are, but it is something that our church gathers for. Sunday morning was a good morning (good for me is defined by the purpose of our gathering, that is that people might connect with God).
Speaking of good mornings. I was on my morning prayer walk this morning and a man picking up trash looked at me (I don't think he noticed that I was talking out loud to myself) and told me to have a good Monday. I liked that. And I have had a good day!
And speaking of talking to myself. Sometimes I wonder if I am writing to myself as I blog. Oh well, at least I think I'm good company.
