Re: Do It Like David

As a worship team musician, this is so true. Leading worship is such a blessing to my husband and I. It is not only a way that we feel called to serve in the Body of Christ, it is also an act of worship and discipline. There are certain songs that as a team we are fully in the moment of worshipping God for all his glory we can fathom... Others are an act of service and duty...equally as worshipful...just different. It is hard to explain, but as it goes with being a part of any healthy ministry- seeking God and his will through every aspect should be at the heart. The body of Christ is full of all kinds of songs, musicians, worshipers, and leaders...and I'm so thankful for the diversity and out of the box way God works in and through us all.

Good job, Darrel. Max Lucado is a very good writer, I will have to check out this book sometime.

Good thing you remembered to include "bigot" and "hate" in the tags for this post, because I'm seeing a lot of bigotry and hate. Very Christ-like.
You Fundamentalist Christians are the worst. Spend your lives looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (a few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old. "Stupid, hater, nut" - good choice of words, really.

LOL! No, not quite yet, but the lawn IS greening up nicely. I think I've got a few weeks left though before the cycle begins. In the spring I have to mow every few days. Definitely no snow in sight down our way though! It was in the 60's yesterday. I little colder and windier today though. Nice, bright and sunny though.

Ummmmm - - - we're still MOSTLY under snow.

Wow, that's quite a brush with greatness! :)

I've never had a phone call from a president, but during the election, before the primaries were over my caller ID informed me I'd had a call from Hillary Clinton!

Not that I really wanted one - - - but there you have it.

Our new church up here in snow country is really good at this. (I realize it is not just a group activity but also an individual choice - - - but how nice for the church to offer help in this area.) Just last week, through the prompting of our pastoral staff, the community churches began opening their doors for warm places for homeless to sleep. They are given a hot supper, breakfast, and sandwiches for lunch.

Also, we're forming at least 4 different teams to go to care centers with Sunday afternoon services.

I'm so pleased to be able to join in these efforts.

And this church is TINY - - - more evidence of what a few can do when they listen and obey.

I'm loving it so far. The song is stuck in my head all day and I just have a much more positive outlook on the day. Maybe it's just coincidence, but a lot more is really starting to happen in my business as well. I'm not a big believer in coincidences.

I love this. I'll give some thought to a song for myself.

Thanks,

That's definitely what I'm hoping for Todd! The people of 48 Days and Free Agent Academy and their related events are full of awesome go getters who are accomplishing a ton in their lives and businesses. I'm hoping some of that will rub off on me and allow me to reach my goals and objectives for my life and family.

It was great meeting you at SIF 2010. I'm still working to find my path, but I wholeheartedly agree about surrounding oneself with people who will enrich our lives as well as allow us to enrich theirs.

Someone at the conference noted that individuals often become like the 5 people they spend most of their time with. Therefore, if a person is looking to truly reinvent themselves or pursue a new path in life, then it may be inevitable and natural that their social and professional circles evolve as well.

Re: I’m Right and You’re Wrong

Ian — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 09:28:14 -0000

Right on, brother. God has 'immunized' me somewhat to this kind of criticism...in my position, it's a must. But it still frustrates me to think that people can be that...well...selfish! What else do you call it? My wife said a wise thing that I keep in mind for times like this; "If something in the service doesn't appeal to you, praise God someone else is being blessed!"

Don't be discouraged. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and do what he says. Any negative repercussions don't matter then.

Man, Don....I am constantly guilty of this. It's in my nature to go onto the next thing and cross it off the list.....It is a frustrating balancing act sometimes. I have to be honest, it's a struggle of mine, especially with the new business. Praying about it.....

Don - - - I LOVE D.G. (reference to the comment you just left on my blog) I realize that SOME DAY, the grans won't be so thrilled with cheap toys, but for now they are so cheap I can "spoil" them with a few new things here at Kama's house on a frequent basis.

Toys aside - - - I get LOTS of things at DG - - - detergent, snacks, paper products, cleaning products, cat food, etc etc etc - - - I LOVE it, and hope you will love yours too.

I quit so much stuff I lose track. Thanks for the mention Don. Much appreciated. Anything you're thinking of quitting soon? Bless you brother. Thanks for listening.

Failing Forward by John Maxwell is a great book hitting on this point. It's important to explore your career options but also realize when its time to move on.....life is short, make the move while you still can!
Good post Don
