REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.


-1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Self-Assessment Test

Today we are so enraptured by the image in the mirror. For example, magazines have found that they can sell many, many copies of their publications by giving "tests" in the issues that allow the readers to rank themselves, rate themselves, or analyze themselves. What fun!

In this grand tradition I offer the following self-assessment test. Put your books under your seat, clear your desk of all other objects, (and keep your eyes on your own test!)

Please rank yourself in one of the two following categories:

"For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
- Philippians 3:18-21


For full evaluation of your results, please speak to the Teacher.

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
