The Plan (Phase 1 conclusion)

Woohoo! I hope everybody is having a great Labor Day weekend.
Mine is going pretty good. I went out and did some fishing with some guys from our life group and men's group from church. I nailed a Spanish Mackeral, first one I ever caught and they taste pretty good too.

Any way on to the blog, bounce this around and let me know what you think. I have a community service requirement built into the rite of passage. I'm unsure as to where this best fits into the outline, I initially put it into Phase 1 (Spiritual) and then thought maybe it goes into Phase 3 (Country/Community). I'm gonna pull it back into Phase 1. The requirement is for Wil to come up with some sort of community service project, and the only guidance that I've given him on that is to present me three different ideas for us to discuss and that we'll choose one for him to pursue. That's all that I state for that requirement. I don't elaborate or volunteer any information on this task for one specific reason, I want to see how innovative he chooses to be. If I start giving him unsolicited examples he'll focus on those things instead of praying and giving deliberate thoughtful intent to this project. I'll keep this project under Phase 1 because it instills in him that service to our community is a Biblical obligation (with regards to charity and alms) and displays an example of servitude that can serve as a testimony to what Christ has done in our lives. I'll let you know how this one turns out and what choices he brings me and what we choose to do.

Well that concludes Phase 1, my next post that i'll jump into later on is that of Family or Phase 2. The more I think about it the more I see how it will overlap with Phase1, and I think you'll find it to be true with Phase 3 (Country/Community). Do you know what the ultimate result is? IT'S ALL INTERTWINED, WE CAN'T SEPERATE, SEGREGATE, ISOLATE, DISASSOCIATE, DISJOINT, DETACH Etc.... Our Christian life is to be woven through out all aspects of our life, entertainment, politics, work, every aspect is to proclaim that we are Christians!

God Bless,
