God's Man | Not Me Monday Sleepy Edition...

Well it is early Monday morning and I can't sleep. That is probably because I haven't started my Not Me post for this week. So I better get it done so I can get to sleep. Check out MckMama the one who started it all and my friend Momo who got me hook on all this Not Me craziness. So here is a bunch of things that I didn't do
  • I did not get up and eat an entire section of graham crackers. I mean a guy training for a triathlon does not snack on sweets late at night.
  • I did not laugh at my brides shocked expression when she walked into our dark living room and nearly tripped over our oldest, who was trying to avoid going to bed.
  • I did not have a geek attack this week when my wife brought me Mango flavored Italian Ice.
  • I certainly do not have mango-addiction. I can give them up any time.
  • I did not research Mango butter only to find out it is like Cocoa butter and not Apple butter.
  • I was not sad about the above revelation.
  • I was not frustrated when I learned that the government was taking a large stake in the company that I work for. I mean we, as a country, would never stand by while our elected officials completely overstep their boundaries. Right?
  • I was not sad when my wife and I drove separate cars to work last week.
  • I most definitely did not think about quitting my job several times last week. I don't think it is time to move on.
  • I also didn't look at jobs in TX because we still have a house there and it would mean a lower cost of living.
Well I think I will leave it at that for this week. I am ready for my bed. For those of you on the east coast enjoy the snow. I plan to play in it today.

God's Man | Portrait of a Godly Man

Christian Women the world over have looked to Proverbs 31 as a model for Godly Women.   That has always left me with this question.   What is a Godly Man?   In the book of Job we find a man that God called blameless.   During his lament in chapter 29 Job paints a picture of a Godly Man.   It gives us things to focus on as we strive to be men of God.   A Godly Man needs God’s Provision     Job continued his discourse: "How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me, when his lamp shone upon my head and by his light I walked through darkness!   Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house, when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me, when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams   of olive oil.   – Job 29 1:-6   Even though Job is in the middle of a bitter lament he knows that his entire life was built on the provision of God.   He know
