Vulnerability as a leader

Book title or just a great reminder? “From Theory to Magic”.

 

One hour and fifty minute phone call. Rough at the beginning but worth every minute to get to the ending.

We are both better off for staying the course, speaking openly, and never loosing sight of the blessings beneath all the surface struggle that will become something we will joke about in years to come.

Entrepreneurs should be testing “theory” daily.

All theory looks good on paper. Until you are running your own business, you’ll never realize how theory and reality are often polar opposites.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Note to self, remember everything is a gift

Note to self, remember everything is a gift.

Serve like you mean it: Why it’s so challenging

Dear Son, we talked about the obvious, common, and glaring Christian faults – the stereotypical definition by which non-Christians view the Christian world (this sentence is a perfect example of my own stereotype).

This means people like me, a quiet, open-minded Christian who doesn’t profess faith and love with words, are labeled and grouped in without consideration.

Labeled the same way gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgenders are stereotypically labeled – without consideration.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

We talked about how those who label are guilty of the very thing they despise – labeling.

Is there an antidote?

Serve like you mean it is done through our observable behaviors and the first victory is over self. The second ministry is won at home, in the kitchen, the garage, the hallways of our dwelling.

There is no greater wisdom than kindness. Thank you for yours – your generous donation of your time to read all five daily blogs.

Yes, it’s taken two hours a day for the past 2,290 consecutive days. But the way it’s changed the writer is beyond a miracle.

It began with an impossible challenge to write two hours a day for 100 days in a row, back in 2009.

These types of impossible challenges are available to everyone.

Houston, would it be a time management problem if we thought Church was every breath we take?

Would our heart withstand the constant strain from constant faith, hope, and love?
