I have been labeled!
It seems that the fine, handsome, well-groomed, and upstanding people at The High Calling in Texas have decided that I rate. And here is the big comedy; they think I rate as a business blog! Egads! I think I have spoken of my business here only about five times in almost three years that I have been carrying on this blogging silliness.
My wife would call it that. Silliness. Anyway, I digress.
Given that I am now classified as a business blogger, I have decided to clean up my act. I have discarded my khakis and Hawaiian shirts in favor of a nice grey business suit; and I have affixed a toupee to my balding head and have joined the local Rotary, as can be seen above (I am the slightly younger looking one, on the right). Fashion note here: My Dad used to have a hankie in his pocket like the fellow pictured here, but his was, and I kid you not, plastic, and it had a little note pad (for making important business notes) on the back side! Is that cool or what?
I remember that as a kid, I hoped that I could grow up, be a business man, and have one of those babies.
Alas, no plastic pocket hankie for me. What I have instead is a business world that is moving fast, changing daily, and challenging my ethics, intelligence, and faith. I feel called to this place, unsure of the final destination, and yet energized to fulfill my small part for Kingdom purposes.
One of the best resources in this journey, for me has been a group of good friends and Christ followers in Irvine, California, know as InsideWork. If you are involved in the world of business, and are trying to figure out your way around, check them out.
As an example of the amazing world we live in, check out the video below (HT: InsideWork), which illustrates how we exist in an entirely new world. The question is, where is Christ in the midst of all this?

Thank you for this video link. Wow.
AWESOME video man. So glad I found it.
As for categorizing you. We don't think that way, really. But we are trying to help people find their way. Think of it more as a tag. ;-)
Just write. You ARE in business so your life is connected to business so that's a tag that works.

Thanks much for taking a look at my blog, and sure, I am good for a ride for your daughter. We have in common a friendship with Dale Bruner. He goes to our church, and is over ever year or so for a BBQ dinner on the deck. He and Kathy are a complete kick.
I have greatly enjoyed your blog, keep up the good work, man!
