Day 9 - what I didn't do.

Day 9. Saturday. The day before I preach. Does my intentionality today make a difference tomorrow?
Boys at winter camp so a date Saturday with Carolyn. Nice.
Bible study with some guys at 7am - that's devoted living.
Clean my office - a late new year task.
Watch Man Utd draw with Birmingham City - both managers old friends - unsure who I wanted to win.
Went to Fresno.
Held doors open for people at shops - but that's just mannerly.
Washed my hands after being at the restroom - in the minority but that's just the way my mother raised me.
Ate healthy at Panera Bread - that's just sensible.
Watched a clean movie "Leap Year" - why do the Yanks like the Irish so much - it could easily have been set in Scotland - looks exactly like Ireland - but with less Guinness.

But when you add it up - been mannerly, hygienic, healthy and careful - but so are hundreds of other people who don't claim to follow Christ.

What have I done today to help me follow Christ?

I guess its perhaps best today seen in what I didn't do. The sins I didn't commit. And maybe somedays that it. Yep its better to do things, but somedays it not maybe the doing, but what you didn't do.

I didn't cuss. I didn't cheat. I wasn't a sloth. I wasn't a glutton. I didn't lie etc, etc.

Today was a quiet, honest day - enjoying some down time with my wife and doing it simply and honestly.

Maybe tomorrow it will be a big doing day - but today .....I'm signing off on a day when what I didn't do was important.
