I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
So ends the classic poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.
Today is February 1st; the start of a new month.
Let's play a game from today through Sunday morning. Here's the rule (there's only one): Do Something Different!
What do I mean? OK. Here are some suggestions:
* Take a different route home from work.
* Tell someone "Good Morning" with gusto in the afternoon and see what they do.
* At the restaurant, order something you've never tried before.
* When you are stopped at a light, give the driver of the vehicle next to you a big smile and a "thumbs up".
* Ask a stranger where they bought their shoes.
* Eat a meal with your left hand (if you are a "righty").
* Skip through a store (works best if your kids are with you, but your choice).
* Answer the phone (especially telemarketing calls) with a thick foreign accent.
When we get together on Sunday, I want you to share your stories. It'll be a hoot!
I will do something different Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It will carry over to how we do Sunday School.
The way we usually approach our lesson each week is to first go through our scripture passages. Here's what they are for this week:
1 Kings 18:20-39 and
2 Kings 17:6-18
After the Bible story, we look at how the scripture applies to us today.
Well, this week we are going to reverse that. This Sunday at 9:50 a.m., we will do some application stuff first. Then we will look at how things were handled thousands of years ago.
So join me as we zig, then zag instead of zagging, then zigging.
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
