I thought some more about the situation at our baseball games.
I am too worried about what the people MIGHT think about us.
I am too worried about what the people MIGHT do to my son.
I am too worried about what how my dad MIGHT react if tell him something.
My worry is a form of fear.
My fear decreases my effectiveness.
If I trust God I can be effective.
I got to go to the noon meeting today. I was moved to reach out to someone who might need guidance but I didn't act on the intuition out of uncertainty. I thought about it afterward and I asked God for guidance in a deliberate manner. I realized that there will still be an opportunity to reach out.
A friend posted a couple of crass atheist posters on a public forum. I decided that I needed to say something but I had to resist a reactionary sort of statement. I was moved to search for and find some clever and friendly one-liners to post an opposing perspective without a condemning spirit.
In the evening I got to go to the Good Friday Mass. I was very moved by the reenactment of the Passion of our LORD. I was grateful that my wife made arrangements for us to go and that she was the catalyst for me to attend. I realized that this sort of initiative in her is an answer to a prayer.
