I am sitting next to two guys, it is obviously an interview.  One man touting his resume trying to convince this corporate exec he is the one who will take this sales team to the next level.  Two men who obviously woke up early in the morning, put on their best clothes and are here to take over.   By listening to one, I would have thought he already owned the company.  There is an endless comparison of who sold more, how much, when, what great obstacles they overcame.   I can see them as two prehistoric men comparing their kills from their latest woolly mammoth hunting excursion, (Or maybe for my Oregon friends, your last trek into the wilderness to kill a deer.)

Men, we are an interesting breed.  We get passionate about conquering, capturing, and controlling things.  Let’s face it we are obsessed as a species with power, possessions and pride.  But here is the what if…What if there were a group of men that were equally or more passionate about living the ways of Jesus as they were with their business ventures?  So many of us ride off on the train to the big city in pursuit of Titan-hood and leave our families at home to suffer. I know a lot of business men.  I respect business men.  These men pour their lives into providing for their families, this is a good thing.  Is it possible to pursue both though?  What will it take for us men to stop pursuing vacation homes, season football tickets and a bigger house in the nicest neighborhood?  I will be exploring this with you over the next 5 blogs.  What do you think?
