Words From The Millers

How many of you have ever heard of Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitals? He made his fortune as an exeutive at AOL, but if you really want to appreciate who he is and how he got there, you have to go back just a bit to 1983. He was 25 and was on a flight that lost its ability to use its wing flaps and landing gear. As most airlines do they gave a crash course in crash landing! During all of this Ted began to think about what he would do with his life if he survived this and said that he promised himself that if he didn't die, he'd play offense for the rest of his life. He did survive and came up with a list of 101 things that he wanted to do. To date, he has accomplished 74 of the 101. Here are some of the goals he has accomplished to date:
1) Fall in love and get married.
14) Gain a net worth of $100 million, after taxes.
22)Create the world's largest media company.
24) Own a jet.
35) Give $1 million to Georgetown University.
40)Own a sports franchise.
86) Invent a board game.
92) Hold an elective office.

This was his mission statement if you will for his life: Play offense.

You know Satan wants us to live in a defensive mode and he uses two pretty good things to accomplish that--fear and discouragement. He wants us to turn the other way from fear and uncertainty but Christ calls us to go straight to it. You know doing nothing wrong doesn't constitute doing something right. Goodness is not the absence of badness. Here are some things that scripture says about offense.

"Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil." Ephesians 6:11

"...put on the new man, the one created according to God's (likeness) in righteousness and purity of the truth.

"Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger, and don't give the Devil an opportunity. The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need" Ephesians 4:24-28

So, as a challenge to anyone reading, list 10 life goals (risks). Go out and and stand with the armor of God and challenge yourself to do something you never have before out of your comfort zone. God bless.


Hello, we are Kelly and Robyn Miller. Once a week Kelly leads a small bible study at Foust Feeds to encourage and gain encouragement from those that attend. This is just a small bit of the study taken from the book, "Chase the Lion" by Mark Batterson. Kelly has been employed at Foust for 10 years doing all the commercial feeds sales. Robyn started working there in 1996 and is currently staying at home with 2 beautiful girls, Kenley and Brylee, (left) and working part time from home for Foust. As you can see there isn't a dull moment! This is them taking a mud bath. We are also expecting another baby in November--we find out this month if Kelly will have to deal with 4 women everyday or if he will finally have a little boy! We will keep you posted.
