Hey guys and gals. How is everything going today? Have you begun to see what a wild experience being a builder is? We’re all spiritual Al Borlands and Bob Vilas this week. How are your flannel shirts holding up? Also, just as a reminder, seeing the top of your crack may be acceptable in the construction world, but if you show it while sharing your faith it’ll be more than a little creepy. It does not point people to Christ.
I’ve been thinking. (Yeah, I know.) We, as builders, should be all things to all people. We should also make people cry and have cool facial hair (just guys). In honor of these characteristics, that brings us to today’s builder.
Ty Pen…Pad…Paddington or Something (Here, I’m going to pretend that I don’t know his last name. That way, you won’t know that I watch his show, cry after each episode, or want to be him.) But, he does have all the characteristics of a builder. He gets along with everybody, he makes people cry, and he has cool facial hair. The soul patch, or cho-tee, as I like to call it was first originated by the early church leaders. Bartholomew had one. If you don’t know, he stars on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They build nice homes for families who are distraught and needy. Well, everyday you run into people who are needy. They need Christ. And you are able to build homes for them. Mansions actually… in heaven. (Here I must say that theologically you do not build the mansions. God is the one who draws people to himself and prepares a place for them.) But he uses us. Isn’t that awesome? People are needy, but there are many obstacles that prevent them from believing. So, be a builder today. Bring them past those obstacles and allow them to see Christ. He is worth knowing.-A fellow BUILDER
