Snap, Crackle and Pop!

I'm sorry to be away for so long. I have yet to develop the discipline to BLOG. I'll work harder, I promise.



I'm in week two of my new membership @ Snap Fitness. A very nice and wonderful individual in my Church gave my wife and I a membership. It has been eventful to say the least. I've never been a member of a Gym, before. If first impressions last forever, Snap Fitness is in trouble. Why?



Well, first of all, I walked in and no said hello to me! They just kept doing "their thing" and not one person even acknowledged me. So what if it's a 24 hour gym and not one staff member is there when I"m working out @ Midnight every night.....



Then, I didn't know what to do! All these machines. No one person offered to show me how to operate them. I must admit, I was rather peeved when Grandma Moses sat beside on the Bicycle and started up and she didn't even over to explain anything. I felt very out of place.



To make it worse, when I left, no one said even a nice "Good-bye!" I thought to myself, "Good....bye!" See if I ever come back!



Then I went to my own Church Sunday.



Suddenly my heart went out to the "new people"



Did anyone say "hello"?

Did anyone sit with them to explain what the heck we do each week?

Did anyone make a big deal about them being there as they left?



Fortunately, I know the answer to these questions are Yes.



But are we doing enough?



Unfortunately, I know the answer to that one, too.....



Any ideas on how to do it better, I'll make time to listen.
