Well, this is my first – “blog” – on the new sight (still a lil bit under-construction). But I hope that you take some time and look around and enjoy and even tell a friend to come and join us. You can login and offer a comment which would be great — I would love to hear from you. I will be updating the blog every week with information that I hope you find insightful and that you enjoy and that even could impact a friend or a co-worker to God’s glory.
Recently we had a great evening at the church hosting Hall of Fame football player Jim Otto of the Oakland Raiders.
So, it got me thinking about … Excellence!
Excellence is a character issue. Character is the sum of our choices. It has to do with the choice of what effort I am going to give. It has to do with utilizing what God has given me. He gave us — life — and what excellence, is — is giving our best back to Him in the maximizing of our potential.
It’s as if when we were born God gave us a bag and inside are gifts, and opportunities, and potential. Excellence is doing something with what has been given to us. It’s maximizing our potential by giving the best effort possible. Too often people spend their time looking into other people’s “bags” rather then developing what has been given to them.
When Jesus fed the 5,000, we’re told it all began with 2 fish and 2 loafs of bread. A young boy was identified by Andrew who offered the food. What it tells us is that the Lord can use something small in a great way.
Excellence is playing to a different scoreboard. It’s the scoreboard that measures effort.The scoreboard that identifies if I have done my best. It’s the scoreboard that God see’s!
Live EXCELLENCE — to the glory of GOD!
