I have come to believe, with experience, that when we are recognized for something we do WELL, or for someone we are that's respected, there is a "CERTAIN PRIVILIDGE" to be "BOLD FOR CHRIST", where people will listen to us, and we're allowed to say certain things about our faith and OUR GOD, that may not have been allowed before.
For me, building models without Christ is pointless.
I'm not saying anyone else should feel that way, for we all have things we do for the mere enjoyment and relaxation, which we all need. I have other things.
For me though, model building is a ministry, and I want to enfluence as many as I can for Christ, for their personal wholeness, enjoyment of life, and their salvation, here on Earth.
That's why I invest my time and $$$$ so heavily, as I believe that being the best you can at something for Christ's sake, will cost us a lot, just like it did GOD.
God gave everything for us, but no matter how much I give, it's nothing compared to the Grace and Mercy HE has gifted me through HIS SON.
My return is merely my Gratitude for HIS LOVE.
