I just got home. I feel like it’s been a long week. I got to hang out with my family, Brad, Leslie, Scott and a few others. It was good to be with you guys! I love you all! I also got to go to Horizon Owing Mills yesterday. I also got some work done, but I didn’t feel as useful and busy as I had expected.
I had a bit of an epiphany between my visit to Horizon and my drive home while thinking about the trip. I realized that I wasted most of the time I was a part of Horizon. I focused way to much on the system and trying to influence it instead of just loving people and investing in their lives. People at Horizon see me and say, “hi Dan” and maybe ask how things are. But I didn’t invest enough personally in people to really have anyone excited that I was there. I’m sorry Horizonites… I didn’t love you very well. I can compare and contrast that to my previous time leading Young Life. Even now when I run into former YLers they are very excited to see me. I had invested in them. I loved them well. Gotta make sure I learn from this stuff.
