30 Day Trial | Day 25 | Not Me Edition...


Welcome to Day 25 - The Home Stretch

So here we are in the home stretch. One more week to go and you will have conquered your goal over the last 30 days. I am proud of all of you. Since it is Monday that means that I must once more give into my Not Me Addiction. McMama hosts this great blog carnival. I have found this helpful to me to get some of the stuff out of my mind. Thanks to Marlen(Momo) for getting me hooked on all of the Not Me fun. So here is what I didn't do last week.

  • I didn't get frustrated with my beautiful bride when she made the awesome decision to override me on the Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake Maker. Since this never happens I couldn't have gotten frustrated.
  • It also didn't result in a complete meltdown by Fish Stick. That would never happen becuase she handles disappointment with poise and grace. Just like every other 5 year old.
  • I didn't try to conduct my personality and spirtual gifts test class without all of my printouts. This didn't happen because I am always prepared because I always give Judy plenty of notice about who will be in class.
  • I am not in total Vacation mode even though I am sitting at work. Our vacation doesn't start until Wednesday so I am totally focused on what I am doing.
  • I did not try to arrange a job interview in TX during our trip just to see if that door was still open. I love paying 3x more for housing. I do! Really...
  • I am really excited about moving... AGAIN. My landlord is doing me a big favor by annoucing that he needs to seel his house for Top Dollar in this Economy.
  • I am ready for the 30 Day Trial Challenge to be over. I have learned all that there is to learn. Time to move on to the next thing. ;)
Well that is enough. Hopefully I will put up some of the pictures of the Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Maker Action Shots later.

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

God's Man | A Servant Leader

A Godly Man is a Servant Leader   Whoever heard me spoke well of me, and those who saw me commended me, because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist him. The man who was dying blessed me; I made the widow's heart sing. I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban. I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth. – Job 29:11-17   Jesus gave us his model for leadership when he spent time washing His disciple’s feet.   He understood that the best way to be a lead people is through serving them.     Jesus also served by taking our place at the cross.   He knew that we would not be able to walk a sinless life so he did it for us.   He went to the cross willingly for all of us so that we could know true fellowship with God.   Reflections: When has someone stood
