Day 3 - doesn't get any easier on a Sunday.

Day 3.
So you would think this would be easier being Sunday and I'm a pastor.
But really?
Many people can preach, in fact there have been times I've preached but not lived it - cancels out any good in the preaching.
I guess today one of the better things is I started the year preaching about grace.
A distinctively Christian doctrine.
Grace.
Grace.
Grace.
If someone could grasp it and live in it - sweet.
But come back to my desire - take time everyday to do something deliberate in being a follower of Christ.
I tipped our lunch waitress 20% (great food at Costa Dorada's - check it out if you live in Reedley); I showed a clip of Susan Boyle - an great example of Kingdom of God values being outworked; I got up early, sat on the side of my bed and committed this day and all that would come my way in it to God and His Grace.
Yep - I preached and everybody looked at me as the pastor/teacher who is following Jesus, but I'm hoping that my following went beyond words, even although the words were about how magical grace is. I'm hoping some kindness, a listening ear, a surrendering prayer were Day 3's examples of intentional Christ following.
