First day on the job!


There's just something encouraging about walking into a job where this is displayed in the front door for every customer to see. This is called a kugal. It is a type of water fountain that literally elevates a marbel globe of the world and spins in any direction that you make it. And for those who can't see the writing on the base--it says "Go into the world and make disciples"...Matthew 28:19. This is also known as "The Great Commission".


JB started his new job today as the Corporate Trainer for this company. He said that it was overwhelming realizing during his "orientation" that he is in a total different environment and career other than banking. JB has worked at a bank in some capacity for almost 10 years. And now working at a furniture store, especially one that is as massive as this one, is very different to say the least. Although, he is not in retail but just learning the furniture business is going to be a challenge.


I have full confidence that he can do it and will be the best at it. JB enjoys challenges and has proven to overcome them throughout his life. He deligently worked hard and trained to remain the starting kicker all 4 years during his college football career. His hard work broke several kicking records. He earned his Master's Degree in Business Administration despite the challenges during those years. His hard work allowed him to graduate as 1 of 3 with honors.

I believe God placed JB in those challenging positions with many others that I probably don't know about in order to grow him for the present and future challenges that he faces.

I am proud of him and look forward to seeing what God has in store as he faces these challenges with His guidance and grace.
I'll keep ya'll posted on his progress.

Until next time, HB
