Oops and Yuck!

We've been handing out free lip balm with our church's name/logo/website on it to people in our community for the past few months. It's been going great...until today.

I successfully handed out several today along with invitations to our Easter services; all to people who had great reactions. I was feeling really good about life until I noticed my own lips were chapped. I reached into my pocket for my lip balm and realized I had committed the cardinal sin...I accidentally gave out my used lip balm to an unsuspecting stranger!!!! What was I thinking!!!! What are they thinking?!? "Where is the hidden camera? Does the church also give out half/eaten communion crackers on Sundays?"

I am so embarrassed! So, why am I writing this and publicly confessing my error to anyone in the world who is willing to read this? Because, I am really sorry, and if you're the person who got the "previously owned" lip balm, I hope you'll accept my sincere apologies. There is also a lesson in here to learn from my mistake for other churches/organizations giving out similar products. And the lesson to all: Always check to see that the safety seal is intact when a complete stranger gives you lip balm...

Bring out the gimp

So last night I made a misstep (literally)that caused me a lot of pain and landed landed me in Hartford Hospital today. After x-rays and examination it turns out  that I only sprained my foot and ankle; nothing is broken. So with my new crutches, my air-cast, some Motrin and ice compressions I should be back to new in...well, eventually.

The best part of everything was when the man taking care of me at the hospital asked me to explain what happened. I told him that I was walking in the dark, didn't see a step and voila! He looked at me funny, smiled and replied, "I see from your paperwork that you work at Calvary Fellowship...shouldn't you know that you are supposed to be walking in the light?" Indeed.
