Today's Sermon:

"Room to Breathe"

“Five Guys does not currently have plans to add any items to our menu. We follow the philosophy of focusing on a few items, and serving them to the best of our ability. If we were to add to our menu, then you can guarantee that we would only do so if we could serve the highest quality product possible. For example, there are a lot of great milkshakes out there, and at this point we think that others are doing it better than we could!

A Life Purpose Statement is a personal, specific, statement of your purpose in life, given your gifts, abilities and calling from God, and your present position or circumstances.

I’m reminded of a great line from Jurassic Park. Jeff Goldblum, talking about the creation of these dinosaurs, says, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”[41] Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. It’s a mistake to chase after every opportunity. -Lance Witt, Replenish
