Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. — Jesus
Dear son, life is hard. You will learn many, many lessons. Some easy, some devastating. It will become your job to pass on the basics to your children, assuming you’ll have some.
Seek wisdom. Seek innocence. And never get bored with the basics.

Last night was our first Cub Scout meeting of the new school year. Roughly a 50% increase from last year. Growth has it’s rewards and it’s opportunities.
Months ago, our Pack leader phoned to ask me to be our Pack’s Chaplain.
Me? A Chaplain? Why?
Perhaps all the others said no. Or, maybe I was the first choice.
It doesn’t matter.
God places things before us sometimes that we neither understand how or why.
It’s the same with you. What process do you follow to discern your next step(s)?
You know, my first reaction was to decline the responsibility, thinking I’m not qualified enough, not experienced enough, what if I look foolish.
So last night, at 7:10PM, it hit me.
In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit….
Leadership is an awesome, and often times sacred, responsibility.
Children delight in the simplest of things. Adults do to, when we slow down enough to notice, but we usually don’t. This video is from last June (2009) and I only had a month of experience shooting You Tube videos.
Looking back, it seems sappy (to me) – the way I told the story.
Oh well, better to try and look silly, than not try at all.
Right?
Hidden in this 2-minute video is a delightful surprise and a child’s hopeful innocence.
What will this do to my career?
“I have a dream, that one day our Nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed – We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
Today in history, 47 years ago.
Why there was ever a time when anyone had to dream such a dream is almost incomprehensible.
What were people thinking when this was not part of everyday life?
Martin Luther King had the right idea. Dream impossible dreams. Great dreams. Dreams that require courageous leadership.
This is what we are called to do each day.
To humbly serve others.
We often get lost in the translation.
Why? Because we are so busy worrying about our career and our money.
