Why? Because it is possible to focus on pleasing others so much that you neglect the Creator. By neglecting the ONE that we are supposed to Love with all of our heat, mind, soul, and body...we subsequently neglect ourselves. In Isaiah (and other spots in the Word), we are to be the clay...God is the potter. Follow me on this...

Instead of saying, I'm going to fix "whatever" or I'm going do do better in "this area", how about taking the focus off of what "we" think "we" can do. God has clearly gifted his creation in many ways. We are capable of becoming "successful" (from a human standpoint), on our own. However...we will 1.) probably not reach our full potential and 2.) not be terribly useful in the Kingdom if we constantly focus on ourselves and our need to please other people.

Clearly I would not recommend being like Dr. House (on FOX)... TO BE CONTINUED

Multi-Personafied

Not a real word. Probably not an accurate fake word, but what do I call it?? Various groups want/expect different things from me. I'm flexible and I'm a YES man. Saying No is ridiculous...it goes against my wiring. I am capable of "background" or behind the scenes work. I am capable of leading/decision making. I can be overly serious (I usually am), but can be light/funny/beligerent as well. There's a fine line between being authentic, and being a master of "mask" or "disguise". I learned early that if you show people what they want to see, they are happy and show their approval. Approval feels nice. HOWEVER...seeking approval from other people is a DANGEROUS game...

Three Months

Here's a current pic of the kiddos!!

It has been three months since my last post. My only current thought is...I REALLY NEED A I-MAC, and an i-phone to go with it.

--perhaps it would spur me to post more (or play with Photoshop/Garage band/i-work '09/pro-presenter/VM Ware Fusion 2/ETC.)

--OR-- It could just look better on my desk than a plain jane 22" LCD
