Who am I? Why am I here and What should I be doing?

That question has been asked many times. One time it was asked by the running mate for Ross Perot who seemed to be a bit overwhelmed by the national debate. There is no shame in asking that question.

Who ARE you? Only you can answer that question. You know YOU better then anyone on the planet. I always am amused at those who want to go out and find themselves when all they had to do is to set down and think about who they were and what they were about. What do you like? What drives you? What is your passion?

What ever that is that you love, do it with all your might! Don't limit yourself! I see people all the time that say, only if I could or should or would! Sometimes the only thing that is stopping us is our fears. What is there to be afraid of but fear itself?

Again, I will step up on my box and give my little sermon. Fear is the true enemy. Fear is a tool that Satan uses to minimize us, to control us, to manipulate and to make us powerless.

In Ephesians chapter six, the Apostle Paul who is writing to the Church of Ephesus, which was an old soldier writing to old soldier's, told them to "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

A lot of times we are confused by the King James language but if you break it down it becomes very simple. He states to put on the WHOLE armour of God. What is that? Truth, Righteousness, Gospel of Peace, Faith, Salvation, Sword of the Spirit with is the Word of God.

Did you notice that the enemy is NOT people? That's the reason that I know that it is wrong to have a "Jihad" or a Holy War against people! The war is against the Powers of Darkness!

You know as well as I do that every day we war against those Powers whether you believe it or not!
Who told you that Monday was the worst day of the week? The day is what YOU make it! If your day started out like crap it doesn't have to end like that!

I'm telling you that you have the power to stand up and be anybody that you want to be! Now what is that? What are you supposed to be doing on this planet? It's not watching TV! You are suppose to be doing something! What is it? We all have a calling to do something with our lives. If you think that you were born just to be mediocre then you are sadly mistaken.
The Bible has much to say about our calling.
