The Plans of Tomorrow
Owning a business has been a very difference experience for me after spending nearly 30 years in the military. During my years in the service, the mission was pretty clear cut with fairly well defined boundaries. Very different from what we are doing now, especially during this year of expansion.
Our job is a lot like being on a crab boat…the only difference is the cold weather and Bearing sea. You work when it’s hot, rainy (set up and teardown), when you don’t feel good and when stuff is going on at home…it’s all part of it. At least if you breakdown, you don’t have to worry about drifting in the ocean!

Changed Into A Different Person
Unfortunately, what I see of most Christ followers today are what I have deemed the ‘quarter pounders’. They want God as long as it doesn’t negatively impact their lifestyle. Makes me wonder if they know Him at all.
I have one question for you today, if you were put on trial for being a child of the King, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
An Encounter With God
Are you seeking an answer to a situation in your life? Then you must get alone with the Lord and seek Him with all of your heart. You must come to the end of yourself. Once you are beyond your own abilities, that is when the Lord can do His greatest work. This is what I have encountered time after time when I needed an answer to a situation. I first had to realize that I could not do anything in the natural to change the issue or find a solution to a problem.
We just experienced this with a weekend where we needed to find an additional camera operator. I tried and tried, for over a month, to find this person with zero results. Just when I was about to call the race promoter to let them know we did not have a solution to cover their event, the date for one of the races on that weekend was changed eliminating the problem.
Entitlements
I was raised on the belief that you give an honest days work for an honest days wage. If you are unwilling to put forth the effort to do a job correctly, then do not bother to do the job at all. You must be willing to ‘sign your name’ to anything you do that all would know you did the job. Not so you would gain some type of man made glory, but that you would be seen as a person of integrity and accountability.
Paul tells us In Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. The world owes us nothing. The government owes us nothing. The sooner our society understands the famous words of President Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” the sooner we will rebuild a country in ruin and change a mentality of entitlement to one of values and ideals.

Got stuff in your life? Time to lay it down.
The Flight of Geese
One of the most difficult things in the world for men to do is to ask for help. Be it directions or roofing your house, we have a tendency to believe we can handle it without anybody or anything helping us. Can I tell ya, just in typing that statement I see the stupidity in believing it as a truth. We were not meant to do life alone in any endeavor.
I remember having a talk with our youngest son in January of 2013. We were at the local Kroger gas station filling up the motorhome after our trip to Texas and Oklahoma to pick up and install our new satellite dish. Some months earlier, He had broken up with a girl he had dated for several years and was going to marry.
