Gonna be serious for a minute.
Tomorrow, my whole family is going to church. 5 weeks after I went alone.
The second week, my wife went. The 3rd week? My son and daughter. 4th week was their Spring Break and we were traveling. 5th week? Wife, son, daughter, and son's girlfriend are going.
5 weeks. Whole house has changed.
What would have happened if my feelings from week one had pushed me away? Because it almost did.
Week 1, I looked around the room. People celebrating and rejoicing. I felt so ashamed. So dirty. All these people shining and so pretty in faith.
I looked at my hands and nails, dirty and stained from work. So I kept them in my pockets.
I didn't have a Bible that first week.... but they were all reading theirs.
I didn't know the songs.... but they all sang along.
I'm standing there with demons on my shoulders telling me I'm not worthy. Telling me I would never be lovely like those folks.... I wanted to leave.... but Gavin was there with me, standing beside me watching his boss struggle with it all. Him and his dad thanked me for coming and told me they were proud of me.
That was week 1.
I heard a preacher online say " The closer you get to God, the dirtier you will feel. When you are under his divine light, all your flaws will show."
Mine sure did.
Week 2, a miracle happened for me and I turned it all over for him.
Week 3 I was baptized.
Week 4 we missed service from traveling.
Week 5 is here.
And here is the message...
I'll be attending Victory Baptist Church in the morning at 10am. Service is at 11.
If you are lost and feeling like you don't belong. Like you will be judged. Like your hands are dirty or maybe your soul...
Come sit with me and mine. Come join us and we will learn together. I don't know what I am doing either and I am 6 weeks past time for a haircut. I won't ever be pretty in my faith, but I'll be in faith regardless.
I don't care how lost you are or where you are in life. You are welcome to come sit with me if you got no one else. I can't teach you the Bible... that's gonna be their job.... but I can sure be the one standing beside you telling you them demons aren't gonna win today.
So it's an open invitation. If you've got nowhere else to go, come with me. We'll learn together.
Have a great night.
Bo.

Shenanigans time at the cave. Trying out this beer from Japan that would very much go with the theme of spring. Busy night watching #Nascar trucks, Outlaws Sprints, and late models, and pleasantly surprised to see Hunt the Front broadcast on Flo. Waiting for High Limit. Cheers!

Call me selfish if you want. I really don’t give a rats ass. I’ve never believed it’s my responsibility to pay other grown adults’ kids, bills etc. PERIOD

My son ask to go hang out with a couple of friends. Told him to be home by 11:00. He walks in at the 10:35. Wow son you’re almost 30 minutes early….Yeah well the cops got called. I told them I had to tell my mama because if she found out and I didn’t tell her first she would be really mad. 🤔
He wasn’t involved and sat in the car while another male and female were yelling in the parking lot . Quick lesson was learned that the people you hang around matters. 😉
