Sunny out, no doubt humid as well.
Getting ready to go do the Handout. I need to take a shower, get dressed, Bible study, finish doing up Bibles and get them in my cart somehow. The large Bibles come in a case that won't fit in my cart so I will have to move them.
I am taking my 4-wheeled cart as it navigates better. I had an interesting dream about the Handout, that people from the church actually came out and supported me.
Last time they did not.
But I am going to tell them, if they give me a hard time, no one in the neighborhood has said the church has reached out to them. No, they have said we need you and specifically asked me to come back. Which I think is an indictment.
But you never know, we could partner up and they could give me Bibles and some sort of written "come as you are" invitation for the "hood" and do some good...it would be nice.
But more likely to get "the attitude" from them because I am not handing out King James. I will if I can get it but I just happen to have the NIV's today.
To quote rapper Lacrae from Send Me/Represent
I seen it with my own two
There's no way I can show you
A perfectly poverty stricken people
With no view
And i bet you can't believe this
They never heard of Jesus
Heard of young buck, lil wayne
And young jeezy
No one's signing up to go
On missions this summer
Rather sit at home and watch
Xzibit pimping a hummer
While a nine year old is shot down
No one's screaming 'stop now!'
No bridge illustrations for criminals
Who on lock down
People deep in Africa
Looking for an answer bra' in china man
They're dying man
Until they know who died for sins
So look what grace did
Not for us to stay hid
Inside our comfort zones
At home in mama's basement
Get out on the grind y'all
Ain't no better time dawg
I know y'all read the great commission
Let me just remind y'all:
Make disciples of the nations
Teach em to obey the Lord
Hate to never lead someone to Christ
Before I face the Lord send me I'll go
Send me I'll go send me I'll go
Lemme go lemme go!
Hey! After, 1
000 years in the west and the church is
Get'n bigger daily without
Understanding worship (say what?)
Some regenerated but a lot ain't saved
You walk outside and be surprised
Cuz the block ain't changed
And the numbers, they be getting em
Something still ain't hit'n them
America ain't christian they just
Practicing a ritual
That's why we should be missional
Hey, what you think i'm spit'n for?
The united states is dying
And in the east it's looking pitiful
Some places if they catch you
They'll arrest you they'll serve you
But they still need the word too
The gospel should be heard too
We claim we ain't ashamed
But yet we ain't hit the block up
Were in our christian bubble
While our brotha's get'n locked up
Lord i wanna stock up pack a bag and walk up
In a country where sharing my faith
May get me shot up
Anywhere i go, whether my city or far abroad
I just wanna show 'em Jesus
Christ the risen holy God
Send me I'll go send me I'll go
Send me I'll go lemme go lemme go!
Represent! Get crunk!
If you know you reppin' Jesus go
Ahead and throw it up
So I go, a fish out of water 😂

I would stick to once a month bible handouts. This way you have time to focus on yourself too.
Do as God leads, sister. It's no accident people are trying to discourage you.
Once a month would give you more time for planning, etc. But maybe still do your candy/tract stuff on a more regular basis.
