Successful Men Hanging Out With A Purpose!

I'm on a Mega Bus on my way to New York to see the Lion King on Broadway so I just wanted to quickly post this pic of my partnas and I from last night's get together. We discussed and celebrated a number of things on this fun-filled night but the main topic of discussion was my boy Joel is having a baby!

We'll not him...his wife. Lol. She's due any day now!  So among all of what was celebrated, we wanted to make sure he was the center of attention.  Joel is the light-skinded, lol, guy in the red.  And yes, I said skinded. Lol

We'll, like I said I'm on my way to a show. And I won't forget to blog about how we almost missed our bus and how the bus we caught caught a flat tire. Fun right? Right! Lol

Welp, until next time...I'm getting off of my T-Mobile G2 cuz I'm getting cramps in my thumbs and I'm about to recline in this seat and take a nap!

Finally! I attended a Wizards game where they actually win!

Saturday was a clutch day for Shannon and I.  We hooked up mid day and headed downtown to visit the Holocaust Museum because we like to do different things around the city instead of the normal activities like going to the movies and bowling. 

So after the museum we got something to eat at Vapianos on H St. in Chinatown.  Then we figured we'd catch a movie since the night was still young.  As we're about to walk into the building, we notice that the Wizards and the Timberwolves were playing that night.  And for those who are not familiar with Gallery Place in downtown DC, the movies are right next door to the Verizon Center where the Wizards play.

As we're walking, we walk right past this guy with a Wizards hat on and he's calling out, "Anybody got any tickets? Anybody need any tickets?"  I said ok, this dude is selling tickets to the game for cheap.  So I ask Shannon if she wanted to go to the game.  Being the gangster she is, lol, she agrees. 

I go up to the dude as discreet as I know how and guess how HOT this dude is.  This guy yells out to his partner, "Hey Tim!!! I need two tickets!!!"

Lawd Jesus!  Shannon and I, both, almost scramble. Lol. This dude was tryin' to get us locked up for scalpin' tickets cuz you know everyone involved gets in trouble. Lol.

I say, "Dog! Just give me the dag on tickets! You about HOT as they come.!"  We snatched those tickets, that were under-priced of course, skidaddled into that arena, sat in our club seats, and sat down until half time. Lol.

This is why I love Shannon so much!  She ain't scared of nothin'.  Sometimes we go to the movies, see one movie...then sneak into another.  Sometimes I wonder if I'm a bad influence on her...or vice versa. Lol

Even still...I'm signing off until next time because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs! :)

Daily Bible App: Strive to be more like CHRIST!

Matthew 5:46-48

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

In Remembrance of Thee: Communion Service & Baptism

Today has truly been a great day. The services today have truly been uplifting. Not only were the services good today but business was good as well.

Earlier this week, I received a call from a client that I serviced a little while back. If you don't know already, I have my own business where I clean carpets in residential areas around the DC Metropolitan Area (www.CleanFloorsGalore.com). Long story short, I set an appointment to clean her carpet at 4pm after 11:15am service today and forgot that today was the first Sunday of the month. At my church, we have communion service at 4pm.

I don't like missing communion service nor do I like canceling or postponing an appointment with my clients, new or old. So I called my client and asked if I could come earlier and she was happy to have it done earlier. I was in and out and my client very pleased with the final result! I also arrived to communion service on time. I even caught some of the baptism.

Today was a great day and still is...at the same time it was tiring. And typing this post on my phone isn't helping my energy level nor is it helping my phone's energy level. Plus I'm getting cramps in my thumbs! :)

Daily Bible App: The truth will set you free!

Proverbs 12:19

Truthful lips endure forever,but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Daily Bible App: Let Your Light Shine!

Matthew 5:14

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Eating Out in Downtown DC: Vapianos on H St. near Gallery Place

Shannon was told about a slick lil slick restaurant called Vapianos on H St near Gallery Place. I like the way its set up.

You seat yourselves after your given a card. You go to the different stations where the chefs cook the food you order right in front of you. Once you've been given your food, you scan your card on the chef's machine thing-a-ma-jiggy. Then when you're finished your meal, you take your card to the register. Real simple and creative. And most importantly, the food was GREAT!

Oh yeah, its an ITALIAN RESTAURANT! ...and I'm out...because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs! :)

ChriShannon: Nice day to learn something; Holocaust Museum

Shannon and I love doing different things around the DC Metropolitan Area. Earlier today we decided to make today an educational day so we utilized 'ol faithful Google and looked up some museums that might interest us. We settled on the Holocaust Museum because we've never been there. It was very interesting and informative.

Education is a must...and it is a must that I stop typing on this phone now because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs! :)

Daily Bible App: I do not own my body; I merely manage what God has given me!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

...do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Buffalo Wings & A Beautiful Woman

My girl, Shannon, is currently a grad student at Georgetown University so we haven't had a lot of time to hang out like we used to. Thank God for spring breaks though!

Even though her spring break is only a week or so...we still appreciate the time we have to share together. She has little over a year left in school until she graduates so times such as these are cherished when they arise.

Let me get back to this large variety of buffalo wings...and Shannon. Lol

Until next time... I'm getting off this phone because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs. :)

Daily Bible App: Fear Not!

Psalm 27:1

of whom shall I be afraid?

Bible Study gets me from Sunday to Sunday!

Sometimes when I get off work, I don't want to go anywhere but home...even on Wednesday which I have carved out for Bible study.
I get comfortable and don't want to leave and honestly, sometimes I don't make it but when I do, like tonight, I receive so much from God. I believe God appreciates one's honesty.

Sometimes you just don't feel like going to church...but its funny because when those times come and you still push your way out, it seems like those are the very times God uses the preacher or the choir to speak to you concerning an issue you're struggling with. Push your way to be in the presence of the Lord!

God is good and I'm done typing on this phone because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs. :)

High School Championship: Gonzaga vs Dematha

The two best private high school teams in the DMV are on the hardwood right now. Its kinda bittersweet though. Its a good game to watch but I really hoped my lil cousin, Kelsey, who plays for Bishop McNamara, was playing. Unfortunately, they fell short last night to Gonzaga. Its cool though, he has another year of HS.

Now back to the game...because I'm getting cramps in my thumbs!

Cubicle Swag! Lol

I figured I'd make my first ANDROID POST dedicated to the place I spend most of my time during the week. As you can see I have plastered my cubicle with family/friend paraphanelia. And I know I'll get brownie points for my computer screen. Lol. Shout out to Shannon. Lol. If you look closely, you see that I have some very meaningful pieces that decorate my overhead cabinet.
You can see that I have my beloved grandfather's obituary, my cousin's grandmother's obituary, the program for my grandma's 80th birthday party we threw for her on the Spirit of Washington, among other things.

I'm done typing on this phone. I'm getting cramps in my thumbs. :)

The world has the wrong definition of "SUCCESS"! How do you define it?

Have you ever asked the question, "Why do famous people who blatantly reject God... prosper? Why do people who clearly worship other gods such as money, sex, drugs, and violence seem to be the ones who gain all of the wealth in the world while we who try our best to do the will of God...struggle?

Recently, I made a commitment to God! I told God that I would read and study the bible, more consistently. Well, lets take off the words "more consistently" off the previous sentence and just be honest. I need to get in the Word and stop making excuses! "I'm too busy!" "It feels like I have homework!" "I don't know where to start!"

What are your excuses???

I'm honoring my commitment! Even though I wasn't sure where to start, that didn't stop me, finally! lol In keeping with the question that inspired this blog post, I wanted to know what God had to say about this subject...so I googled "success in the bible" and clicked one of the top links called "Success According to the Bible." It is so on point. It has inspired me to really dissect Deuteronomy 8:10-20 and strategically apply it to my life. Check out the blue text below! A MUST READ!!!

The world defines success in terms of achieving one's goal, acquiring wealth, status, prestige and power. Successful people are those defined as people enjoying the good life. In short, dollars, power and status is the central definitions of success in the world today. Such definitions have many fatal flaws when we consider the lives of the rich and famous whose lives are wrecked by pain and tragedies.

Success According to the Bible God's measurement of success is defined differently from that of the world. God's measure of success involves our obedience and faithfulness to Him, regardless of the opposition and trials we face. In short God's measure of our success is whether or not we are being loyal to Him and obey Him.

The determination of whether one is successful or not is answered by whether or not one is satisfied with one's life. It should not be based on or measured by someone else's standards. We should determine what our success is by God's standards for He is the one who has created us and He is the one who will judge us and by His standards.

Success is much more than just money and status. All others is temporary. When we leave this world, none of it will be of any use to us nor will it guarantee us eternal life. So should we define money and status, which is temporary, as real success? Who amongst the rich today can guarantee their happiness on earth and in heaven?

Does God Want Us To Succeed?
God is not in the failure business. The scriptural truth is, God wants us to succeed. God's condition for success is simple - Obey Him and Obey His Laws.

God Wants Us to Succeed
Proverbs 16:3 - Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

God Wants Us to Prosper
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God Gave Us the Ability to Produce Wealth
Deuteronomy 8:18 - He gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!!! A MUST VISIT!!! www.RemoteRide.com

CLICK!

http://ChristophJenkins.blogspot.com

Begin again!!! ...updating blog as requested.

It is amazing how the picture above portrays what I've been hearing since the day I took a break from blogging. I just "googled" three words, "back to blogging," and came across this perfect-for-my-first-post-in-a-while post. I like making up compound-sentence-words, as you can see.

Many things have occurred sine, April 6, 2010, the last time I've posted to this blog. And instead of listing all of the events and occurrences, I think I'll just back-blog. For all of the readers who don't blog and aren't familiar with blogging terms, I simply mean that I'll post about things that happened during my blogging hiatus.

Not only have I missed blogging but I missed browsing and reading my fellow blogger's blogs. The community of bloggers, affectionately known as the blogoshere, is like another world that people who don't blog will never know exists unless they begin. It's absolutely amazing.

Poetically speakin'.
I have decided to begin to blog again for the same reason I poetically utilize a pen; to express the feelin's that lie within and to inspire all dreamers to dream again...and again!

Until next time ...continue to recognize how blessed you are!
