The Nashville Napkin

This blog ... this blog has challenged me.  Here I am confessing my shortfalls to you ... again.  While catching up on some back issues of Southern Living several months ago, I felt prompted to borrow the idea of "The Paper Napkin Interview" for this blog.  In the article they ask questions of celebrities while having an informal meal.  It is only a one page Q&A story with photo.  They even say what was on the interviewee's plate to eat!  I forgot the idea.

Today while waiting on my daughter at a dress rehearsal for The Nutcracker, I was scanning my latest issue.  I stopped at "The Paper Napkin Interview."  It had a little different format.  I began to judge it.  I didn't like that they changed it.  Then I felt it.  My face went flush.  My chest burned.  My heart seemed to drop in my chest.  I remembered.  I was to do this type of article in the blog.  I had failed to obey. 

Immediately I prayed, "Lord, forgive me for forgetting.  I don't know too many famous people.  Who do I interview?  What questions do I ask?  I don't want to fail again." 

One name came to me.  Then another.  Then another.  So I am committing to you here that I am going to do this.  Hold me accountable.  Check back to see what becomes of "The Nashville Napkin."
