Pondering the "niche list" from Matt Bacak

From http://www.mattbacak.com/articles/tips-for-identifying-your-niche/ I find very little to motivate me towards any of these... Which explains why I feel burned out on the idea of "internet marketing" in general... 1. Real Estate 2. Weight Loss 3. Network Marketing ??? I???m not saying network marketing to be in network marketing; I???m saying telling people how to make money in network marketing. 4. Wealth Building 5. Internet Marketing

Education?

Answers in 1st Peter

Tim got me pointed to 1st Peter and I think meditating on chapter 1 will give me my answer for how we balance "fighting the evil one" vs. "letting God's will reign"...

Thwarting God?

Pondering discussion questions for our worship pastor (who'll be talking to our little adult Sunday school this week, health permitting -- join us; ping me for details if you need them). And I'm wondering about where he falls on the "can we thwart God?" question. He's a Calvinist (but we love him anyway) so I suspect the answer is "No"... But as he said last Sunday (listen to episode 126 at www.ericast.com for the quote) he felt he had more good years of service to God in him and is surprised that he's going to die at just 51. So... What does God think? "Yeah, it's a shame you built all those model airplanes as a kid and the xylene in the glue hosed your gall bladder; too bad that Satan can use that in the fallen world?" Or, "No, its my prerogative and I'm taking you home now?" Or, "Well, that's just how it happened to go and I'll work around it because I'm God and I'm that good?" Thoughts?

What does this mean for us (me) today?
