Had a great time tonight with the guys around Yacoub’s pool. What a great spot for all of us.
Pat shared a bunch of principles about following Jesus. This is the essence of what I took away:
Christ is my life.
Christ and I love people
- Elise
- kids
- family
- friendships
- employees
- neighbors
Christ and I determine who I am going to be
Christ and I manage my body
- exercise
- diet
- rest
- being present with people
Christ and I run my business
Christ and I feed my mind, body and soul
- what I take in determines my output
Christ is my life
The evening reminded me of one of the ideas that has helped me focus in the last year:
“The disciple is one who intends upon becoming Christlike and so dwelling in his faith and practice, systematically and progressively rearranges his affairs to that end.” Dallas Willard
