It’s amazing how time can just slip by. It has been a week since my last entry. Right now I’m headed to Ketchikan for their Staff Development Day. I brought my Bible along and opened to Mark 8:34, “…whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” This leads me to questions:

  1. How can I “deny myself”?
  2. What does it mean to “take up [my] cross”?
  3. How can I make changes to “follow [Him]”?

From listening to Brad Duncan repeatedly, I am reminded that I can only choose one of two ways:

  1. Happiness
  2. Pleasure

I can’t help but think that Mark 8:34 is a prescription for Happiness. Why is it we are naturally disposed towards pleasure?

I want to be a man of strength – one who is an example for his family, friends, & association.
