Dr. Wicker.

Who are You and Where are You Going?People love titles. Aunion started labelingmaids as householdtechnicians. Teachers

are now being callededucators. Waitressesare now servers.Stewardesses are now

fight attendants, and housewives aredomestic engineers. I suppose thatbeats the term or garbage collectors sanitation engineers! Pardon me i myshorter hair exposes my red neck, butwhy do we have to have a title? Whenyour child skins his knee, he doesntneed a domestic engineer but hismommy.

Benjamin Franklin was an inventor,

ambassador, statesman, signer o theDeclaration o Independence, andcra ter o our country. His tombstonereads: Ben Franklin, printer. I youknow who you are, you dont have toconvince anyone else. Jesus calls us Hisservants.

We are redeemed children o God and joint-heirs with Christ. When we knowwho we are, then we can discover whatwe should do. Gods job description issimply to serve Him and others as youlove Him with all your might. Allowwhat you are and have to be used orGods intended purposes. However,make sure that you are ollowing theGreat Commander in Chie .

Hawaii was jolted when suddenly theew and the proud o the Marines wereewer by two. A private and a corporal

were put in the brig back in the 80s or

a small breech o military etiquette they took a 19-ton amphibious assaultvehicle on a joy ride. The battle eldbrontosaurus, designed to carry 25heavily-armed soldiers into combat,began a 5-mile journey by crashingthrough a ence at the Kaneohe Station.Driving around in such a vehicle whenthere is no ghting going on amountsto a kind o a lie. Looking tough may notactually be tough. Besides, many thingsin li e require getting permission.

While the battle or godliness rages,lets brandish the sword o the Spirit

and wear the armor o God as we goin the right direction. Lets not do likethose Marines and sideswipe a car butrather stay in the lane o Gods plan.Our lives and this ministry are no joyride, but can infuence people oreternity and must be taken seriously. This morning in my Quiet Time I prayed,

Private Wicker reporting or duty, Sir! Thats who I am and what I do.

ATTENTION!
