For Valentines day, I took Steph out for dinner at the Beehive in Abilene for the first time. I had escargot for the first time ever - I like it. The Fillet there is ranked 4th best in TX by Texas Monthly magazine, and they aren't kidding! It was a beautiful night. The atmosphere there was probably the best in town, and HappFat poked fun at me with a wee serenade. 'Wee' meaning small, like a 'tad'.
We should go some time!
Anyway, after dinner we went to the late viewing of I Am Legend. I didn't really have any idea what it was about before we went, but I jumped out of my seat like a girl several times.
A wonderful evening all the way around!
Ali, owner of the Beehive has agreed to let me shoot a tour of the restaurant.

Only Joking!
Ok, so you don't have to call me CHIEF! I am interested to see what all of blogvilles personalities come out to be.
I prefer this test to the DISC test, because the disc test tells me that I can be an ass, and this test tells me why!

Call me CHIEF!
This is about the 5th time I have taken this test, and each time it comes out the same.
I am in very Good Company.

ENTJ - The "Chief"
Myers-Briggs Personality Types (Free Test)
ENTJs are strategic, organized and possess natural leadership qualities. They are master coordinators that can effectively give direction to groups. They are able to understand complicated organizational situations and quick to develop intelligent solutions. ENTJs are outspoken and will not hesitate to speak of their plans for improvement. They are decisive and value knowledge, efficiency and competence.
"ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments."
- Portrait of an ENTJ (The Personality Page)
"...have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are -- to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals."
- The Portrait of the FieldMarshal Rational (Keirsey)
"leader, ambitious, hard working, dominant, prepared, hates to be bored, confident, opinionated, analytical..."
- Jung Type Descriptions (ENTJ) (similarminds.com)
""Unequivocating" expresses the resoluteness of the ENTJ's dominant function (Extraverted Thinking). Clarity of convictions endows these Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a penchant for argument. The light and heat generated by Thinking at the helm can be impressive; perhaps even overwhelming."
- ENTJ Profile (TypeLogic)
"At work, ENTJs contribute a wealth of energy directed toward the goals and those of the organization. Their sense of identity is closely tied to how they carry out their responsibilities. They are curious about new ideas and theories, evaluating them in terms of their goals. They are very efficient, competitive, strategic, and task focused."

Voice Of Truth
Friday night I had the opportunity to go to the Casting Crowns concert...did anybody else get to go?
I love live concerts especially when it is a night of worship. This concert was nothing flashy, but God was there and He was lifted HIGH and glorified.
A couple of really cool things that they did was they had a splatter paint artist that did a painting during 2 songs - it was rehearsed of course, but the effect was powerful and anointed.
Another thing that they did was they all sat on stools at the front of the stage and one by one prayed over the audience, each praying over a different dynamic ie: the men, marriages, mums, addictions, etc.
This was very powerful!
I was especially excited to go because their lyrics are incredible and have been instrumental in lifting my head up and giving me strength over the last few months.
At the beginning of the year the Lord told me that the lyrics to 'Voice of Truth' would be the mantra for my life for this year.
"Voice Of Truth"
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"You'll never win"
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!
"You'll never win"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Last Day!
YAY! No more early mornings for Tim.
I am extremely excited about being free to work during the day and persue my business and relationships at night. I look forward to socializing after hours without the stress of having to wake up at 3:00AM every morning.
The last month has been excruciatingly tiring as I have worked KTXS, Business Records Management and Lowe's and I have not had the strength to work on my business.
January Re-Cap
In January, my transmission died, my water pump died, my starter motor just died, and I had an attorney to pay. All of my bills were late, but they are being paid. I finish the month with a further $1500 of debt. What a year 2008 has been.
However, today is February 1, it is a new day, a new month, a change of vocation and God IS still Good!
