Got Your Goat

If you were to look up this phrase in a dictionary you might find something to this effect: "Make you annoyed or angry".  But that is not what the goat was all about yesterday.  Saturday was the annual Pemberton Borough Fall Fest, and as we have often done, we rented a space and set up a table.  This year one of the church families were selling "Goat Milk Soap" and so they brought one of their goats to the festival.  Caesar loved the attention & the grass and was a big hit to all passers-by. 

There goal of the goat was not to anger or annoy but to get attention so that we could register people to receive a free book the church was offering and in so doing to develop some new contacts & e-mail addresses to follow up on.  It was a very profitable day as far as that was concerned. 

Far too often we get people's goat when we try to evangelize, that is we annoy and anger instead of get their attention.  Yes I know, some folks will always be perturbed when you talk to them about "Religion", but certainly that is not always the case.  We need to interest people in the message that changed our lives and can certainly change their's.  So get you goat and go.
