Adopting Jesus

Kingdom Characters Today

Are you a "Solomon"?  How about a "Saul"?  Which "Kingdom Character" are you?

The same "characters" that we see in the kingdom of Israel we see in our churches today.  God put the pieces in place in Israel's time for success, and they blew it (badly).  We have those same pieces in place--the same strengths, the same weaknesses.

How do you maximize your strengths and avoid the pitfalls that took these Israelites down?  How can you help others achieve their potential?

It begins with knowing where you fit in.  Which "character" are you?  Take the quiz, and then take your place...

BCS Thoughts

Well, the bowl matchups are out, and while I was a little disappointed TCU didn't climb up the two spots in the standings that they needed to get a BCS bid, they probably didn't deserve a bid this year.
