I had a moment today that is somewhat laughable. Some of you are going to think I’m a terrible person – others may join in and laugh with me.
I was working on my day off! I know, BAD BRENT! But we are working to get things ready for an AMAZING EASTER SUNDAY! While I’m going 100 miles an hour – I had not ONE, but TWO sales people… “WANT TO TALK WITH THE PASTOR.”
Usually, sales people would call or e-mail and make an appointment, but these guys just dropped in! And they caught me working my tail off!
The first one, I gave him 3 minutes. When he said, “network level marketing,” I know my eyes glazed over. In 30 more seconds I was shaking his hand and showing him the door.
The second one was a little more humorous. I had Joe Shepard on the scaffolding, waiting for me. Ryan Ramey, looking for something for me. I quickly ran out to my office – and on the way back into the big building I saw a gentlemen.
“You looking for someone?” I asked.
“I’d like to speak with the pastor. Is he here?” He said.
I said, “He is, but he is really busy right now. You might call his office and make an appointment.”
Then I just walked on in the building, shaking my head of course. I don’t think I lied to the guy – I just didn’t have time on my day off to hear another “Network Level Marketing” presentation!
I know that Glazed over look well… It seems when I invite my friends, neighbors, and people I meet to church – they kind of give me the same look. But this is ONE week – people may be more sensitive to an invitation.
I hope you will BEGIN RIGHT NOW praying for the right person to invite to church. Pray for the right moment to invite them. And Pray God will move upon their heart to go with you!
I think EASTER would be so much better if someone you invited GOT SAVED!!!!
It’s going to be a GREAT Week!
