    #30 The Office | Part II | Honor your employer. Don’t just work hard, work well and don’t expect an accolade for simply doing your job. That’s why you get paid. Be the sort of employee that you would hire, regardless of who notices or who isn’t paying attention. Take pride in what you do because it’s when you’re deploying your best that you are honoring the One who has you in that position right now for a reason – and it’s not just to draw attention to yourself or to pay some bills. You’re there because He has a Purpose for you and those you interact with.

    #29 The Office | Part I | Think of your typical day as a house with your conventional collection of rooms. You’ve got the kitchen, the garage, the office, your bedroom, the playroom etc. Each room represents a specific collection of duties and opportunities that logically fall under the heading that particular room’s theme implies. Depending on where you’re at in life, the “office” is either your job or your schooling. How does a “Muscular Christian” operate in the marketplace / classroom that constitutes a sound application of Biblical principles? And how does that equate to an “out of the park” performance that gets people curious as to what’s under the hood?

    #28 Perpetually Poised on the Threshold of Great Things | As you’ve put some thought into how you would articulate what you believe and why you believe it, hopefully you’ve included something of the motivating Strength that, not only supports you when you’re struggling, but also positions you in a way where you’re perpetually poised on the threshold of great things (2 Cor 3:18).

    #27 What Would Your Billboard Say? | If you had to create a billboard that promoted a relationship with Christ, what would it say? Imagine you couldn’t say anything about going to Heaven or how God helps you with your problems…How is that billboard going to read?

    #26 Put Some Offense on the Field | There’s more to life than simply “healing” all the time. You can’t allow yourself to be in sick bay every day of the week. At some point, you’ve got to get your boots on. Put some offense on the field and put some distance between yourself and the idea that life is nothing more than defending yourself against attacks, trials and difficulties.

    #25 When Things Are Going South | Part II | Yesterday we looked at how life is like a string of Christmas lights: You’re either dealing with one problem at a time, or the whole of life starts to go south and you’re hanging by a thread. What makes the difference is the amount of time and energy you invest in focusing on the Truth. Talk to your Creator. Access the peace that passes understanding and the Strength that goes beyond anything you could muster up on your own.

    #24 When Things Are Going South | Part I | It’s all fine and good to say that God’s in control and He’s got a Plan when everything is going well. But what happens when everything goes south and you’re doing all you can to maintain an even disposition? How’s that “Plan” looking now?

    #23 The Good Works of Tim Tebow | Tim Tebow did more than complete passes. His approach allowed the Reality of His King to become apparent. Approach your day from a perspective that intentionally perceives the Divine elements that transform your actions into "works" and let that shape your outlook. It's a different kind of day when you're aware of your activity as being more meaningful than simply putting some points on the board.
