Nothing Like Being Chauffeured In Tokyo
A CEO friend sent me back to our Tokyo office with his car… And driver.
The chauffeur was upset when I opened the door to get in. A Lexus LS460.
When we arrived he asked me to wait for him to open the door for me. If I would have had my assistant waiting for me at the entrance. When I arrived I could have really felt like royalty as I walked from the car to the building.
Nice experience to be pampered.
Look at the kids

Titus 1:7-9 (NKJV)
” For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.”
Titus 1:7-9 (GWT)
” Because a bishop is a supervisor appointed by God, he must have a good reputation. He must not be a stubborn or irritable person. He must not drink too much or be a violent person. He must not use shameful ways to make money. Instead, he must be hospitable, love what is good, use good judgment, be fair and moral, and have self-control. He must be devoted to the trustworthy message we teach. Then he can use these accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word.
