I like to set goals and accomplish them. There is a

great sense of satisfaction in reaching a personal, occupational or

even financial goal. I wish I accomplished all the goals I set.

Often times I try to reach my goals on my own. After 41 years of

life I've discovered that goals are best achieved when I invite

someone on the journey with me. The Christian life is no different.

As we strive to become more like Jesus, we can attempt it on our

own, or we can invite someone to walk with us. On Sunday, we're

going to see how the Apostle Paul walked with many people in his

life -- even some who fell asleep on him.
