I BLEW IT

Yesterday I had a chance for a spiritual conversation with my oldest daugher, Kaela, and I blew it. She was with me in the garage as I was clearing out files and stuff. She was riding her bike and skateboarding and she came up to me and said:

"You know that guy you were asking about yesterday, Bunji? He was in -- what do you call it? oh yeah -- San Antonio. He was talking to people who thought you could go to Heaven by being good."

I acknowledged her statement, but I realized this morning I could have asked her, "Oh, what do you think about that?" I need to be ready and aware for when these opportunities arise. They're way better than anything planned or forced (IMHO), cause they usually show the person thinking on those lines, etc.

Pictured above is our "spinner" of CDs (donated by Chad Olson), which get filled up every two months with independent artist CDs that come in. We have to listen to a ton of stuff to cull out the best (the "pick of the litter").
