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
