In May, I saw an ad for vendors for the fall fest at the local ski resort. I thought this could be a fun activity and a way to earn some income while I wasn't pastoring. So I signed up and spent the summer knitting hats. With almost 200 hats in stock, I arrived on Saturday and set up my booth.
I sold one hat!
Should I return for day two? I did, but completely changed the "cozy boutique" set up to a more craft show line of tables along the aisle. I got more conversation and more interest the second day, but not a single sale!
The second day was of course a Sunday. The fest ran from 10:00-5:00. I missed worship!
I tried to feel God in the people and the beauty of the setting, but mostly I was cold!
I will need to continue to contemplate the meaning of this failed endeavor, the lack of formal worship, and my feelings as I sat for two days an island in a sea of humanity.
