Day 2 - I'm kind of a big deal!

After the sermon yesterday, my pastor chased me down to tell me he was excited for me to start a blog.  He looked forward to reading it every day.  Wow, talk about pressure.  For that matter, when I got home, I found out I’ve got 5 followers.  They’re going to be reading, too??

So I started wondering, do we act differently if people are watching?  Will it be good enough?  Will I write something different if I know someone is actually going to read?  The answer is “yes”.  I’m going to write, read, re-write, re-read . . . and, well, re-write; until it’s right, right? All because you're reading this; thanks, thanks a lot! 

I remember, a long time ago, going to Outback for the first time.  Man, do I like the Outback Special.  That had to be the best steak ever.  Then, I remember going to The Gun Club in Beloit, WI.  Now, the Outback Special was good, but holy cow the New York strip here; WOW!!!  Visiting New York City I found The Prime Rib at Tavern on the Green . . . where has this been all my life?  Next, The Bone-in, Kansas City New York Strip at Bob's . . . now, if you've never had this before . . . well, let me just stop and say; you really need to try this.   And, next . . . well, let's just say, I'm on the prowl for the next better and best steak.

I spend a lot of time driving in my car.  I never leave on time, and am always in a hurry to get where I'm going.  I’m not really willing to risk my own or even others’ lives to get a car ahead, yet I do. I do it because I’m an aggressive and competitive person who wants to be ahead of that car ahead, and then the next car ahead, and after that, the next car.

So, this started today with a photo of me; and, to be honest, I'm kind of a big deal!  But, I'm modest.  Despite what I might portray, I know I’m not :(.

The reality is, we're human, I am and you are; nothing will ever be just "right"; I'm not a Big Deal.  Go ahead and watch me . . . read my blog; I won’t be perfect, heck, it probably won’t even be average; but I’ll keep trying.  Just remember, there will always be a better blog, another car ahead . . . and, God willing, there will always be a better steak!
