First jobs included lawn mowing
and at Christmas Tree lot, and in college worked for ESPN for
$11
Got saved between 2nd and 3rd grade at VBS. Rededicated my
life in Junior High and High School
Went to college at Oral Roberts in Tulsa, OK. They
offer 65-70 majors. I started out Pre-Law but fell in love with
Accounting
It's a great place to hear God's voice and follow in
it
Recent example of hearing from God's still small voice was
in when to retire
First job out of college was with a Big 8 Accounting Firm,
Price Waterhouse Coopers, as an auditor
Spent time in Europe as a child and wanted to return and an
opportunity came up with a Foreign Missions Organization.
Spent 4 years there and met his wife
Then took a job in Boise, Idaho with JR Simplot and worked
there for 30 years in 14 different jobs. That company
produced 35-40% of McDonald's French Fries worldwide, using the
Russet Burbank potato
My career goal was to be in a position where my wife could
work but didn't have to and I wanted to be with a family friendly
company and to rise to a level where I would have the flexibility
to participate in my kids events
When the Lord has asked us to do something, there's a
reason for it and it will ultimately be for our benefit
Break 1: 28:19 - next talk about Christian's role should be
with politics
We should be watchful and actively involved but not
obsessed with politics. God sets up the leaders in our land
and will judge them
The Lord is in control and our hope comes from
Him
We should be open to make changes when we get negative
comments in job reviews, but not try to be someone we're
not
There are ways to share your faith that will cause people
to come to you
