Acts, Chapter 20, Verse 20
I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and
Greeks to repentance before God and to faith
in our Lord Jesus.
Paul here is exhorting
the Ephesian leaders to have the heart of an effective leader which is “being
before doing.” Leadership begins with the heart.
A Leader’s Heart[1]
Paul had a heart that
was:
1.
Consistent-he
lived steadily while moving among them.
2.
Contrite-he
acted humbly and willingly showed his weakness.
3.
Courageous-he
didn’t shrink from doing the right thing.
4.
Convictional-he
communicated his convictions boldly.
5.
Committed-he
left for Jerusalem, willing to die for Christ.
6.
Captivated-he
showed that a surrendered man doesn’t have to survive.
Saint Josaphat[2]
National Pizza Day[3]
National Pizza Day is
dedicated to appreciating pizza, a baked flatbread that is topped with tomato
sauce and cheese. Many toppings and sauces can be added to pizzas,
including vegetables, meats and seafood. Pizza was invented in Naples,
Italy around the 10th century, and has since grown to become one of the most
popular foods in America. In 1905, America’s first pizzeria, Lombardi’s, opened
in New York. Since then, pizza consumption in America has increased
greatly and many pizza chains, such as Pizza Hut, Domino’s and Papa John’s have
emerged. The origin of National Pizza Day is not well understood although
accounts of National Pizza Day began to emerge around the 2000s.

If I could eat whatever I wanted every day, I would have Domino's pizza with pasta carbonara inside every slice. And at night, I would have Neapolitan ice cream until I felt absolutely toxic. And then I would drift off telling myself, 'It's going to be O.K... It's going to be O.K. you're going to train in the morning'.- Robert Downey, Jr., Actor
