Some Things I Learned in 2010

  • Plumbing is not for me
  • Growing spiritually doesn’t happen outside of community
  • Forgiving and forgetting isn’t easy, but it’s necessary.  It’s a sad state of affairs when you let someone from your past dictate your present demeanor.
  • Listening and discernment can make or break a ministry.  If you aren’t aware of what’s going on around you can’t lead effectively.
  • Car repairs: I hate them and they put me in a foul mood.
  • Some things just don’t happen quickly.  Waiting is OK.
  • It takes pain to grow.
  • I’ve decided I don’t care about politics.  I’ll be an informed voter but I’m not going to waste any mental energy on it anymore. I have better things to do.

Time seems to stand still when…

Time seems to stand still when…

  • I’m in a hurry and I’m stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
  • When I know I don’t have to get out of bed for anything on Saturday morning
  • The day before vacation.

How about you?

How about you?
