I…
I played golf with somebody this weekend who each time I 3-putted and complained about it, he responded with "I 3-putted like 10 times yesterday"… I would also get frustrated and try to tell people that I was better than that last shot I hit… When I could've been quiet and let the fact that I once played D-I golf at the U of M do the talking instead of me trying to act like I still play at that level (humbling in itself)… After a few thoughts I feel like I can sound like that in my daily routine…
This week I am going to experiment with something as simple as a single letter…
I will be attempting to make it through the week with in no way telling stories that brag or boast, that in no way makes it sound like I complain that I am better than my level of performance. I don't want to draw any attention to my "problems" by complaining about my time-committments, how busy I am, how I am not getting support for YL and the list will go on, I will not type them all as that would be against what I am trying to do!
This is going to be the ultimate humbling experience I believe.. I also believe it will be harder than abstaining from alcohol. I will be in the business of listening this week, remaining in the present, and waking up each day asking the Lord to "make this day not about me". My goal for this is that by making it less of me, it will be less of others and then more/all for God…
These are very honorable ideas.
wow… imagine if everyone could do this for a week! I like this Ethan…. I'll be interested to hear what aroma this becomes.
