Eileen and I really enjoyed our time together at the Convocation. It is always good to slow down and thank God for all that he has done in our lives.
Here is a "small thing" that we implemented as a result of the convocation.
Background:
I am a physical therapist and have been teaching continuing education classes over the weekends for many years. While I always schedule these classes so that "I" can get to Mass on Saturday or Sunday evenings, I have never given much thought to the attendees.
The Convocation:
One of the great speakers at the Convocation mentioned behind the scenes "influencers" that have steered some great Church or Lay leaders in the right direction with just a small nudge. This same speaker mentioned faith based Corporations that are closed for business on Sundays, as an example of one such "nudge."
The Nudge:
Right at that moment, Eileen (my soulmate of 36+ years) turned to me and said, " I guess you should stop teaching classes on Sundays, so EVERYONE has a chance to honor the Lord's Day!" BAM! BAM!
The Result:
I have changed my class lecture / lab times to be a few hours on Thursday and Friday evenings, and then all day on Saturdays. Sundays are for the Lord. The change has been well received by all thus far.
