Well Reggie ditched us for dinner. I think he’s afraid to come over to my house for some reason. David was here at 5:00 and I drove him over to my place to eat spaghetti with the family. We enjoyed a cigar on the back deck after dinner before I dropped him off. I asked him if he’d be interested in starting a Bible study at the shop. He’s been reading the Bible as he sits in my chairs (before dozing off!). I think I might be able to get him to commit if I keep asking. His family is still reeling from the murder of his nephew a few months ago. The boy’s mother and father are drinking themselves to death. David is living with them and I think he see’s the emptiness that the bottle brings.
The store has been quiet today. Its 3:30 and we’ve only had $35 in sales. Days like this are hard on me. I don’t seem very good at clinging to God’s promises when things are this quiet. I forecast what will happen if every day becomes like this. I wonder if I’ve sold everything that is of value and have nothing left. Its just a matter of foot traffic i guess. I need more!!
