Excellent post. I am not sure if I am living up to all of it but I sure do try to live up to that ideal. I fell short last Wednesday night because I didn't have a lesson plan prepared. These past two weeks have been in such a mess. I know! Thats no excuse and it isn't one.
The Lord lifted up the night and in walked a Lt. Commander with some ideas. He didn't seem to relish the the fact after the meeting when I showed him the new CDL I had been working on. I realized afterward that he had been in a nasty truck accident about a year ago and had felt pretty broken up about it.
It seemed like the Lord was giving me the things to say and the ideas to do.
I told the boys that I wasn't prepared and then we took advantage of planning the Pioneer activities for the year. We also got the boys fired up about camping, completing Merits and advancing.
