The Measure of a Man
Happy 43rd Birthday, Joe!
On December 4, 1968, the future tallest 5’5″ man in the world was born.
The lyrics of an old 4 Him song state that a measure of a man “is not how tall you stand, how wealthy or intelligent you are.” No, that’s not a pun on your height but I certainly agree with 4 Him.
The world may measure a man by these standards but I know that man is nothing without God. God saw enough worth to send His only Son to die in man’s place. That said, how is a man measured?
I don’t know if I can fully answer that question but I know this—you are worth more to me than any earthly treasure. You stand taller at 5’5″ than any other man to me. It’s not the amount of money you make or the knowledge you’ve gained in this world that makes you who you are. It’s the knowing who you are in Him that makes you who you are. It’s the integrity you’ve allowed Him to grow in you. It’s the character you’ve gained as you’ve allowed Him to work through your personality.
Women so often measure themselves against the Proverbs 31 Virtuous Woman. Though we should forever seek to follow after those virtues with the help of His Spirit, we often fall short. It’s not the perfecting of the virtues that make a woman virtuous. It’s the determination to allow her Lord to work those virtues in her life. Though she falls, she gets back up.
Likewise, a man of integrity isn’t a perfect man. He’s a man who will persist in seeking his Lord to develop out integrity in his life. Though he falls, he gets back up. A man who knows his faults and weaknesses will do this more readily than one who sees his own greatness and falls from pride.
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? ~ Micah 6:8
Over the years of watching you grow and growing with you I’ve seen you fall and I’ve fallen three times for your every one. I’ve watched you struggle. And I’ve watched you get back up. What makes me so incredibly grateful to be the woman standing by your side is your willingness to see weakness and run to Him and your determination to seek Him not only on your behalf but ours.
Though this year has been difficult in so many ways I’m forever grateful for the trials and the struggles. He is using them to cement our marriage. Your hard work, loyalty and determination for not only me but the girls as well has always been evident. But this year I’ve watched your character grow tremendously. Jesus stressed that worry certainly won’t cause a man’s stature to grow. But you know what? I wonder if the opposite could be said by having faith because this year you’ve grown taller than Goliath in my eyes.
I love you more than ever before. Your price is worth far more than chocolate and Diet Coke.
You ROCK!
Your Angel
P.S.
I love that your height has never bothered you.
That is so sweet!
Happy Birthday Joe!
Happy birthday Joe!
This is too sweet! I love the diet coke and chocolate part, though, lol!!

Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your website in internet explorer, might check this?
IE nonetheless is the marketplace chief and a big portion of people will
leave out your excellent writing because of this problem.

more helpful than ever before.
Hi to every body, it’s my first go to see of this blog; this weblog contains awesome
and truly good stuff for readers.
Having read this I thought it was really informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put
this information together. I once again find myself spending way too much
time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Bei allen drei Produktarten muss man die Haare in Passagen teilen und jede eremitisch tönen bzw.
färben. Auch eine Mousse sollte man nicht wild, wie beispielsweise Shampoo, im Haar verteilen. 3.
Wie bereite ich mich vorm Färbeprozess richtig vor? Sonst wird die Farbe nicht gleichmäßig.
Ganz wichtig: Vor dem Färbeprozess aufs Haarewaschen verzichten und die
Farbe oder Blondierung immer auf die trockenen, nicht gewaschenen Haare und somit auf die Ausgangshaarfarbe auftragen, da der leichte Talgfilm
die Kopfhaut schützt. Ratsam außerdem: die Haare einige Tage vorm Färben mit
Pflegekuren zu verwöhnen, damit die Farbe gleichmäßig angenommen wird.
In den Tagen davor auch mit stark festigendem Styling sparsam umgehen, damit die Haarfarbe bombensicher gleichmäßig wird.
Sollte später doch was danebengehen: Kleckse auf der Haut sofort mit
Wasser wegrubbeln und auch Farbflecken auf Keramik
gleich mit einem feuchten Tuch entfernen. Damit man beim Prozess Flecken vorbeugt, die Gesichtskonturen und Ohren gut mit einer Fettcreme einreiben, das vermeidet das Anfärben der Haut.
Aus der Kleidung lässt sich Farbe nur bei Temperaturen ab 60 Grad entfernen – und Flecken der Blondierung bleichen die Textilien leider ein für alle Mal.

Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?

Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Appreciate it!
Das Holz einer Kiefer ist dem einer Lärche, die Farbe ist fast identisch und ebenso harzreich.
Das Kiefernholz ist etwas weicher als das einer Lärche und
wird auch gerne als günstiger Ersatz zu Lärchenholz verwendet.
Für den Fensterbau ist es die einzig relevante Laubholzart.
Eichenholz ist ein sehr hartes, schweres und stabiles Holz.
Die Eiche besitzt Inhaltsstoffe, die das Holz dauerhaft machen. Merantiholz wird als eine Gruppe der tropischen Laubhölzer bezeichnet.
Durch den höheren Preis von Eichenholz wird es
selten für Holz-Alu-Fenster verwendet, sondern eher
bei Türen oder im Portalbau. Je dichter das Merantiholz ist,
desto intensiver sind die Farben. Das Holz weißt
eine Festigkeitseigenschaften einer Eiche auf. Eingesetzt wird
das Holz neben der Verwendung bei Fenster und Türen noch bei der
Möbelfertigung, sowie der Furnier- und Speerholzherstellung.
Achten Sie bei Fenstern darauf, das der Rahmen und das Fenster aus dem gleichen Holz gefertigt werden und das ein leichte Behandlung des Fensters möglich ist.
Die Farbe des Holzes reicht von einem rötlichbraunen Kernholz bis hin zu
einen gelblichen, grau-rosanen Splittholz. Ansonsten kann auch bei minimalen Ausdehnungen des Holzes die Dichtbarkeit beeinträchtigt
werden! Denn jedes Holz arbeitet unterschiedlich.
Trotz erheblicher Verbesserungen in den letzten Jahren erkennt Google immer bis jetzt nicht alle Arten von Bildern. Zudem
geht’s bei der Bildoptimierung nicht nur darum, Suchmaschinen bei der
Interpretation der Bilder zu helfen. Eine Optimierung kann einen entsprechend großen Einfluss darauf haben, wie schnell Ihre Website geladen wird und wie
hoch Ihr PageSpeed-Insights-Score ist. Man muss ganz ehrlich sagen hört die Bilder-SEO jedoch oft schon bei dem Hinweis auf, dass Alt-Tags Keywords enthalten sollten. Schlecht optimierte Bilder sind der Hauptursachen für lange Ladezeiten.
Dies ist tatsächlich ein Teil des Prozesses,
aber eben nur einer Teil. Alt-Tags und Alt-Texte sind jedoch ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um das Gebiet der Bilder-SEO
als Teil der Onpage-Optimierung zu verstehen. Was ist ein Alt-Attribut?
„ALT” heißt „Alternative”. Es wird bei den Attributen der Bilder
auf der Webseite eingegeben. Wird ein Bild nicht
angezeigt, wird der Text aus dem entsprechenden ALT-Attribut angezeigt.
SEO-Verantwortliche sprechen häufig über Alt-Tags oder Alt-Texte, Alt-Beschreibungen oder auch Alt-Attribute.

Gerade in Zeiten von Bank- und Währungskrisen findet das Uhrensammeln deshalb vermehrt
Anhänger. Tatsächlich lassen sich mit dem nötigen Fachwissen und einer Portion Glück mit Uhren erhebliche Gewinne erzielen.
Ein gutes Beispiel ist die Rolex Daytona hierbei Paul-Newman-Zifferblatt, die man Ende
der 80er-Jahre noch für 900 Glaube kaufen konnte. Wer
das Sammeln von Uhren a fortiori als Investition versteht, sollte,
so der Rat von Experten, vor allem auf bekannte Marken wie Rolex, Patek Philippe und Audemars
Piguet und Exemplare mit limitierter Auflage setzen. Heute wird ihr Wert auf etwa 50.000 bis 60.000 Euro geschätzt.
Doch Vorsicht: Solche Uhrmodelle sind nicht nur bei Sammlern und Reichen, sondern auch bei Fälschern zunehmend beliebt.
Uhren haben eine lange Geschichte: Schon im 3. Jahrtausend v.
In Ägypten wurden in der Antike neben den Sonnenuhren auch die lichtunabhängigen Wasseruhren entwickelt, im Mittelalter gab es in europa sogenannte Kerzenuhren.
Chr. versuchten Menschen den Tag mit einfachen Sonnenuhren in Zeiteinheiten zu
unterteilen. Im frühen Hochmittelalter begann die Entwicklung der Zahnräderuhr, bis ins 14.
Jahrhundert setzte man bei der Schifffahrt und in anderen Bereichen aber
auch die billigere Sanduhr.
