Day 20
I just read in Newsweek that there will be about 100 million bloggers in the world by the end of the year. That’s kind of a lot. I’m quite new to this arena of expression (though after 123 – or is it 124? – straight days of posting my thoughts, it feels like I’ve been doing it forever), and am just beginning to realize what a tiny drop in the blogging bucket my corner of the internet is.
With all that out there, I’m glad you choose to come on over to “Made for Eternity” and read what I have to say – I really do have a lot of fun doing this. And since you have 100,000,000 blogs to choose from, thanks for picking this 1.
Onward.
Yesterday, I wrote about the verse in 1 Timothy regarding honoring those in authority. Then I promptly went out and (quite accidentally) did the opposite. Here’s the story:
I am finishing up a therapy summary report on one of my clients which involves a lot of emails and drafts back and forth between me and my supervisor. Last night I meant to start out an email with:
“Trying to make progress on C’s report”.
What I actually wrote:
“Try to make progress on C’s report.” (As in, “You better step on it!”, which is real honoring. Ha.)
I didn’t catch the mistake ’til this morning when I reread the email. I cringed and sent an apology. She was completely fine, and we had a good laugh at my error. I thought it especially humorous in light of what I’d been learning from Scripture.
So, I’m putting that experience in the category of “how not to fulfill this command”. Live and learn.
