We all are afraid of failing. Thats a real fear. But if you look back at your life, people might see things that happened to you in your past as failure, but God looked at it as growing. <BR/><BR/>3. I can see you working hard because you see no one else is doing the job maybe as fast as you would like to see it done. That will make the cycle worse because you will take on too much. Patience is the key here.<BR/><BR/>4. It's OK to count once in a while. How else are you gonna know how many chairs to set up or vans needed for a trip to White Castle?<BR/><BR/>5. Dude! I'll come and slap ya if you start teaching the bible and not living it. Never seen you in this yet! Matter of fact, don't you always seem to teach on Sundays what you've lived!<BR/><BR/>Lord, Keep Tony from becoming the Guy he doesn't want to become, but let him always be the Guy you've made him to be!<BR/><BR/>Tanner RidgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733794.post-47481887415490584622008-03-06T14:55:00.000-05:002008-03-06T14:55:00.000-05:00not all the guys who keep attendance records are "...not all the guys who keep attendance records are "that guy".

That's in Scripture, and yet I don't think it means it's an example to follow.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'd feel differently if the early church told us how many came to Jesus every day. Instead there are only a couple of examples (Acts 2:41, Acts 4:4). "That guy" would overlook that, using those two examples out of context.<BR/><BR/>And I don't want to be "that guy."tonymyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396458619687708153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733794.post-38216616688828148632008-03-06T08:25:00.000-05:002008-03-06T08:25:00.000-05:00the authors of Scripture recorded and reported att...the authors of Scripture recorded and reported attendance numbers and I don't think they were communicating numbers were of the greatest value.<BR/><BR/>you'll be just fine...you are not that guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733794.post-56748286394446267742008-03-06T01:32:00.000-05:002008-03-06T01:32:00.000-05:00i hate that guy tooi hate that guy toogavin richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089190477657027849noreply@blogger.com
