The Point

So, what's the point?
Day in and day out, I wonder what is the point.  I wonder why I am on this earth.  I wonder what tomorrow is going to bring.  I wonder if what I do for others really matters?  I wonder if I didn't go to work for a few days, other than missing the money, would it be a loss for my peers or manager.
Every day I yearn for something more.  I want to be needed.  I want to feel important.
I mean who doesn't?
We all wanted to be needed.  To be important to someone. So, why don't we share that more? Why don't we tell the people we care about that they are important to us?  Why don't we tell them that they are needed?
Isn't this the point!?  Shouldn't we be lifting up those who mean the most to us?  Absolutely.  I mean if people who win an Emmy award, or an Oscar can lift the important people up; or win an award for directing a show can do it in 40 seconds, why can't we take the time to send an email, an IM, a text for crying out loud!
So, challenge: tell someone how important they are to you!  Tell someone that they are needed.
It only takes 40 seconds...

A new path...

Over the last several weeks I have been praying for God to show me what it is He wants for my life.  Praying    for His guidance, His wisdom, His will.  Well, I believe He has shown me that I am to go back into the ministry.  Specifically, children's ministry.
So, now I am listening and praying for His guidance as to what ministry I can serve.  If you have the time and heart, I would appreciate a shout out to the Lord for me as I walk this path.
Pray that there is a ministry that is looking for a crazy, tattooed, jolly guy who loves being a kid and sharing Christ's awesome love for us.  And pray that God will show them a guy like me.

-Amen!
