Preparation

Back in February I made a post about a 30 Day Experiment I was hoping to attempt in either March or April. Of course, I didn’t get to do it this month (which I had suspected would happen) so April is coming up just around the corner and I need to start preparing for it. Throughout this last week of March I’m going to begin implementing certain parts of the guidelines into each day and figure out how I’m going to make it through April. Right now my biggest challenges are going to be 9 Chapters a day, inviting someone to church every day, and no eating out at restaurants (I’m seriously trying to figure out a way around that last one).  I also need to plan out my 30 challenges before the whole experiment actually starts.

So there is some immediate preparation that needs be done.

Come and See.

Upstairs in a historic building now known for its coffee and books, you’ll find an old room. After getting up the creaking staircase, down the short and even creakier hallway, and through the 8ft. doorway you’ll discover a decently sized room, old wooden floors, large bay window overlooking main street, and a fireplace display to complete the scene.

Tomato bisque, potato soup, rolls, and sweet tea. If you didn’t make it last Sunday, you sure missed out.

Sitting in a chair over by the window, cradling my bowl of soup, I look up to see someone walk in through the door. A familiar, but new face. Then a second one. Then a third. They continue to file in, finding a seat, greeting all of us in the room, and the six members from East Bristol church of Christ settle down completing our circle. I immediately get up, along with a few others and the mission to find more chairs begins.
