When Following Jesus Demands More Than We Imagined

Have you ever been in a position where you got more than you bargained for?

It seems to happen to me every single time I start a home improvement project. I am not what one would call, “handy”. No, I can barely tell the difference between a hammer and a screwdriver. Yet, I try to fix things because that’s the reasonable thing to do. I research how on YouTube and think, “I can do this!” Then, I get into it and realize that it is not as easy or straightforward as the YouTube Pro made it look.

This also happens when I get involved in volunteering for things. Often, I find that what I sign up for is significantly more involved than I anticipated. Nine times out of ten this is due to my own assumptions and not really paying attention to what was being asked of me.

In both scenarios I find that once I’m in, walking away seems to be unreasonable.

Workout 4 in the books! One more to extend the streak of 5 per week. #Discipline2025

Oh my the swipe actions on micro.social are so nice! @gregmorris just continues to make this app better and better.

Good morning! Even in the midst of difficult times, may we choose to serve one another. #MorningMug

I am looking forward to a slow day. I am beginning to realize that Mondays are not an “off day” for me. But, Wednesdays really can be a day of quiet reflection.

Good morning! I pray that you see the good in the midst of any difficulty you encounter today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal posted a 4 and soundly defeated me. However, I’ve already seen a 2 from my guy @jswright61@ruby.social, so the #YoungPups have their victory.

Good morning! I pray you will find an opportunity for some silence and solitude today. #MorningMug

Monday workout. Body weight 😒 #Discipline2025

A Fitbod workout summary details exercises for quadriceps, chest, triceps, and abs, showing 464 calories burned and one record achieved.

This podcast episode with Richard Rohr really is excellent and challenging in all the right ways, in my opinion.

Richard Rohr on The Bible for Normal People podcast today said something that really punched me in the heart. He argues that the OT prophets would not be railing a particular political leader but would be calling out culture that allowed for bad leaders.

Good morning! I pray that each of you would experience a grand sense of curiosity today. #MorningMug
