Of myths and giants (and team)
Myth David defeated his giant Goliath alone, so I must defeat my giant alone. Reality David had a king and nation at his back. David had a God at his side. David defeated Goliath with a team. David stepped forward, picked out 5 smooth stones and walked out to to face the giant, but he was never alone. When […]
How to ATTACK
Word of the Year 2015 Earlier, I shared my 2015 Word of the Year – ATTACK. 2013 and 2014 were more theory than practical – TRANSFORM & VISION. I’m excited about ATTACK because it’s practical. Here is a list of things I will practically attack in 2015: Writing. I’ve committed to write here 3 days a week. I […]
Single. Uno. Solitary. Solo.
The American Dream. The myth is its possible and probable to be successful on your own. You pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. You do it alone. No one helps you. No one gives you a break. That, of course, is a myth. We all need help, and we achieve so much more in tandem than when flying solo. […]
Immeasurable Resources
The 8 State Lake Several weeks ago, I visited a cattle ranch in Hoxie, Kansas. If you’re not familiar with Hoxie, you’re not alone. Hoxie is a small agricultural town about 20 miles from Colby, Kansas (the Western Kansas stop along I-70 with a Starbucks). Blink and you’ve driven by the exit at 75 miles […]
It’s the end of the world as we know it!
…And I feel fine! I love that REM song (It’s the end of the world as we know it [and I feel fine]!). It speaks a lot to and about my generation that grew up believing the world was ending at any moment (both from the secular and religious points of view). In the end, […]
One day while hiking a volcano…
Overwhelmed Sometimes life feels overwhelming. Too much is happening. Not enough time is available to get everything done. The job is too large. The resources are too small. Not enough help is available. Too many people are involved. If it’s not one thing it’s another, and you feel like you are underwater. You’re left gasping for […]
Where have all the great followers gone?
You are a follower. You read that right. You are a follower. You can’t help it. Don’t worry…I’m a follower too. Truthfully, I like to follow. I want to pay attention to people who I value and trust. I want to know what they are thinking. I want to know what they are learning. I […]
The Focus of ALL Hope
Zero to Hero in 3 days The story of King Saul in the Old Testament is pretty amazing. Saul is promoted from overseeing his father’s donkeys to king in a matter of days. “And I’m here to tell you that you and your family are the focus of all Israel’s hopes.” -1 Samuel 9:20 Samuel the […]
What to do when it’s a grind.
The daily grind. Steady hard work; labour of a monotonous kind, esp. close and hard study; an instance of this, a dull and laborious task. -The Oxford Dictionary Some days are harder than others. Some days everything is hard. Nothing is fun. Ever notice that? Today, is one of those days for me. I got up, […]
