Taking It to Work: Remember Clark Kent, aka Superman? Well, even when disguised as a mild-mannered reporter, he never forgot that he had a bigger job than just working at the Daily Planet.

Taking It to Work: There is a story told of two brothers who loved to run and race. Whatever race they entered, these two were on top.

Taking It to Work: We, even as Christ-followers, are so easily tricked into thinking that the end game is just enjoying life in security and comfort.

Taking It to Work: Sometimes, I think I just “know”. I remember one time checking auctions for items needed for my business.
