I am in a very bazaar business... camping. I was in two camp fairs in the past two days and am tired. I am not good at this camp stuff. I don't bring candy bars, donuts, give aways, lots of people wearing matching shirts, a big presentation, etc. Just me, my sign (which is pretty cool) and my sunny disposition.
These other guys come in mass and recruit like big dogs. I get very insecure in situations like this. I know it is not my style, I am comfortable with that, but it is another thing in which I am outside. I am not sure I want to interview someone who will sit and listen and talk because I gave them a donut or a candy bar. What happens when I ask them to give there heart when the sugar high has worn off? Do we really need to reward them or entice them with sugar products? What kind of disciple making is that? Jesus calls us to take up our cross and follow him. He would have been more "successful" if he had some Crispy Cremes to offer.
I do offer a Rib dinner midway through the summer as a thank you, or maybe it is because I want a Rib dinner about then and can finance it through the camp (Honesty). Anyway what are we doing when we go to Christian Colleges and recruit with donuts and enticements to interview. I think it will be hard for these people to take us seriously when the time comes. If it ever does come.
That was a rant.
It was good being with Cory all day.
