Some Quick Thoughts

1. Do you set the world on fire or are you busy trying to find a match?
2. Do you seek approval from those around you or do you work for the King who cares about quality not quantity
3. Your rewards in heaven are directly related to how you serve and work here on earth!

Get disciplined...Be used...Change the world!

Better Than You!

The question of the day is, "Who are you pouring into?"

Had an awesome meeting with Pastor Chuck today and the big thing that kept coming up was "what kind of work are we doing outside our walls?" Its easy to get so focused on the one thing right in front of you and work hard to grow that, as you should, but what are you doing to ensure that the next generation is ready and prepared to take on the world for Gods Kingdom?

As leaders we have to begin seriously thinking about who we are sending out into the world and with what we have equipped them with.

My challenge to you is to begin thinking about the kind of legacy that you are leaving and the impact for the kingdom you could have by ensuring that some people under you are growing and can do what you do...BETTER!!!

Ticket Giveaway

Ok so I just had to blog about this because its just incredible.

My wife, is quite possibly THE most selfless, genuine and thoughtful human being on the face of the earth...Im not kidding you! Once, she chose to give up her cubicle and desk and move to a square side table that couldn't have been bigger than a sheet of paper and moved into a hallway for 2 months!
I would have never done that...ever...
Thats what makes this so incredible...Twice, now she has tried to surprise me by ordering tickets to my favorite comedian and band, but both times overlooked some minor details.

The first one was comedy tickets to a show in Redding, California which is about 12 hours driving from where we live, so we had to let those go.
The second one, was tickets to my favorite band, only the show is on a Sunday night when we work...so we had to give those away.

My point is that I love my wife for the simple fact that her mind is set on doing for others that she sometimes overlooks little details.

Do you live your life, free to love others without walls or minor details that distract you from the one thing that mattered more to Jesus than prayer?
