Jack Bauer Keeps His Word!!!!!

Kiefer Sutherland bet a friend that if the New England Patriots lost he would wear a dress when he went on Letterman. When I heard about this it made me think about the verse in James 5:12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned. I have so much respect for Kiefer for keeping his word to his best friend. Keeping your word is not the easiest thing in the world to do, especially when it comes to wearing a dress on national t.v.!!! Much respect Jack!!!!

Breaking Records in Ministry

I was watcthing a movie called The Guardian with Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner. I saw this scene in the movie and this thought hit me. Ashton played a VERY talented swimmer that turned down many scholarship offers to follow his passion and save peoples lives in the water by joining the United States Coast Guard. He meets his instructor Kevin Costner who holds all the records for rescue operations. Ashton lost his focus on saving lives to his competitive nature and everything became more about breaking records than saving lives. His instructor realizes that this had happened and allows ashton to break ALL of the records to refocus him to what matters most, saving lives. I am a very competitive person and sometimes our focus can get off ministry and onto myself. It is so easy to get caught up in "Who is the Best" but the moment that happens, your ministry becomes more about you and less about God. I am not at all saying its bad to want to be "The Best" or "Competitive" but don't let your pride become your passion. Watch this clip and ask God to speak to your heart: The Guardian
