7 days.

Fasting from production.

Instead investing in human relationships.

I’m creating a new blog category: more than machines.

This is the first post in that category.

As a result, I’m including a brief excerpt from my next book due out in about a year.

Enjoy…and try to withdraw from the performance drug.

I dare you.

(It’s only possible by feasting on the fact that the Father is already fully pleased with you because of Christ in you.)

“What do you do?”

We tend to get asked this question more than any other.

Not “Who do you love?”

Or “What makes you tick?”

Or “What are your dreams?”

Nope.

The vast majority of humanity decided the most important thing about a person has nothing to do with the internal, but the external; not about who they are, but rather what they do or how they look.

For men, it all comes down to a person’s profession. For women, (I’m told) it’s a matter of how they dress.

But perhaps you’re one of the anomalies. Maybe you’re the guy who doesn’t care what other guys do for a living—you transcend the profession and possession game. And maybe you’re the woman who could care less how other women look—you transcend lip shades and liposuction.

Maybe for you it comes down to whose kids are better dressed or better at sports.

Or who holds the record at the latest video game or on the monster golf course.

Or which friend has the prettiest house.

Or who’s got the biggest ministry or who’s sacrificing more for the Lord.

We’re human and not committed to dig deeper to get beyond the shallow stuff like the size of a guy’s bank account or a woman’s bra.

More coming soon…
