Happy Labor Day

Back to walking on Monday. We returned home and watered the plants. I quickly showered and off we went to the Open door. The vagrants were slow in coming in, reinforcing my belief that they have caught on to the fact that they can miss the devotion yet get the meal anyway. I am becoming very cynical about them. I see the same people every time we go and realize that, even though some are destitute, many of them aren’t. Some drive in in nice cars and talk on their cell phones while there. I try to remember that they are children of the Father and saved by the blood of Christ as I am, but don’t serve them with love in my heart. I pray for forgiveness but still sometimes don’t serve them with humility. I don't begudge the ones that obviously need the free meal but do the others. I think we might not serve there next year. We went to Belk on the way home to look for a hooded sweatshirt for Evelyn, to 2 drug stores for some tooth brushes, and to Kmart for more of the same. We came home and I took my extra golf bag and cart to store under the house. We just tried to rest during the afternoon while watching the Cubs play. I also worked on the computer and made some phone calls and then watched some of my Monday shows but then got hooked on the Boise State/Virginia Tech football game. I didn’t stay until the finish but enjoyed the game.
