Its cooled down here a little (90's) so I'm taking clients for a hike this morning. Actually this is a good week for me. I'm taking clients hiking Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. That outta be a great workout for everyone.
For my 15 minute project, I'm meeting with someone that's trying to get a business off the ground. I'm helping her set up a marketing plan.
I've made it 2 weeks on staying with the eating plan...a miracle for me. Tomorrow I'll get on the scales and see if I have lost more weight. Vacation is coming up in 2 weeks and I'm going to have to look for a bathing suit....yikes!
What's in your plan for the day?
Make it a good day!

In Pursuit of Glory
Colossians 2:6-10
When we become Christ followers, our view of life should change. No longer are we the center of our world; instead, Christ is. (Galatians 2:20) It is essential that we switch our thinking to a Christian worldview because what we believe dictates how we behave. Many of us have a patchwork-quilt-type of worldview, where we have taken some truths from Scripture, some from our upbringing, and some from our culture to determine what we believe. We don’t even realize we have done this.
As believers, we are to search Scripture to find answers for all of life’s questions. Where did I come from? (Genesis 1) What happens when I die? (John 14) How do I explain human behavior? (Romans 3) How can I determine right from wrong? (2 Timothy 3:16) What is the purpose of man? (Isaiah 43:7) If we have biblical answers—a Christian worldview—we will think and behave in ways that best glorify God.
The most vital question is, What is important to God? From the Bible, we learn that all of nature declares the glory of God, that the chief aim of man is to glorify God, and that Jesus’ mission on earth revealed God’s glory. So what matters most to God is His glory.
Does that surprise you? We fall into thinking the world is about us and that God’s work has to do with our needs, wants, and pleasure. But the truth is that life is all about God and glorifying Him. Let us humbly bow before Him, change our thinking, and join Him in the pursuit of His glory. —CW
