Tuesday Is For Technology!  I have decided to write about technology that helps me to do the many different things God allows me to do.  Each week, I will try to shine a little spot light on something that helps me to help others!

My MacBook!  A few years ago I made the switch to Apple’s MacBook and I have not regretted it!  I wanted something smaller with more processing power and I wanted something that was not so easy to get attacked with viruses!  I chose the 13 Inch MacBook with lighted keyboard and my MacBook filled the bill!

It has a great battery life.  It is compact and powerful!  It does pretty much everything that I ask it to do.  It has taken a beating!  It was smashed up under a hide-a-bed, dropped off the back of a motorcycle while riding down the road and has been tossed about in a back pack on more than one occasion.  It has many hands on it each week and it always seems to deliver!

I am a very big fan of Apple and have been faithful to use my MacBook, Ipad and Iphone on a daily basis.  Just recently I made a move away from the Iphone, but I will share more on that and why I made the move in a later post.

If you are looking for a good personal computer that is compact and powerful, I would strongly recommend the MacBook.  The only thing that I can think of that would be any better would be the new MacBook Air, but for the money you can pick up a used MacBook for a very decent price and a whole lot of power or what you might call “BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!”  I hope this article was helpful and look forward to sharing more of the technology that blesses me, so that I can bless others in the days ahead!  G3!

This is a video I shot this morning, right after I finished up my quiet time devotions!  I call it:  

As a Christian leader, I wear a lot of different hats and often have a lot of different responsibilities.  If I am not careful, I can get very caught up in all I am doing for others and forget “WHO” I am really doing all of this for.

I also can forget “WHO” it is that empowers, gifts and equips me for this service.  This forgetting can really get in the way of my making the difference and having the impact that God has for me to make!

Jeremiah 9:23-24 is a great reminder for Christian leaders!  It says:  “23 Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.”

The true and effective Christian leader is not into pleasing himself/herself and this is why you it becomes so easy to give yourself away.  The true and effective Christian leader is also not into pleasing others, because ultimately it is not really about them, even though we serve them.  The true and effective Christian leader is into serving the Lord, because it is about understanding and knowing Him!

The Devil will try to side-track you by causing you to get distracted by self or others, but don’t fall into that trap.  Stay focused on G3!  Give God Glory because glory is His and you will always find yourself doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing – your job!

Our job is not to do what we think is best.  Our job is not to do what others think is best.  Our job is to understand and know our God and try to help others to do the same.  Have fun at work today!  G3!
