02/12/2011 Improvement #3
Ahhh...Saturday...A day to sleep in, cook a big breakfast, and be lazy around the house all day....turned out to be wishful thinking. I woke up around 4 am like I do most mornings. I wake up and read the news on my Droid, play a little bit of my world war mmo video game, and then check for interesting posts on Facebook. I was laying in bed around 4:30 in the morning when I noticed a post by a friend of mine named Jonathan. He was in charge of a volunteer team heading out of Summit Church for a community serve day they call NiceServe. He made a post asking if anyone would be free today to grill hot dogs....I figured hey...what else am I going to do today so I sent him a reply. A few hours later my wife Debbie and I were at Summit Church with our volunteer team. Our assignment was to go have a field day with a group of kids from a Methodist Foster Program. My job, specifically, was to grill up some delicious hot dogs. As it turned out I had an absolute blast playing dodgeball, kickball, and dozens of other field games with the kids...the hot dogs weren't ready on time, but there were a lot of happy kids that day....including me. I went home with a recharged spirit and the idea that improvement number 3 would be to volunteer more often. So I did.
