We've had some great discussions over here on Main St. This week we've been talking about having the courage to tell others about what we're doing by raising funds for a trip to Uganda and housing for our friends at Amazing Grace.
We are all reminded that we're not trying to sell anything.
We're simply offering an invitation.
We're inviting you to join us on our journey.
And ours is a pretty ordinary journey. If you've spent any amount of time with our family you know that we're regular folks. We have fun, we get sick, we laugh, we cry and we sometimes wonder where we fit. We have great intentions and often lack follow through. We love and yet we're selfish. And, like you, we want to live lives of significance- lives that look beyond our own navels.
Hoops for Homes is one of those attempts. Daniel is an ordinary 9-year old kid who loves basketball. He's not looking to make pro- but he sure likes the game. He wants to see these homes built but gets a little scared sometimes. Daniel is willing to practice, has a friend serving as his "coach" and is borrowing his neighbor's hoop. We found a cheap program to make flyers and we're using an iPhone and a free computer program to make videos. Friends, it's all very, very ordinary.
And that's our invitation. Join us in doing something ordinary and let's see what comes of it.
