With My Own Eyes

Leading With a Limp by Dan B. Allender, PhD

“God calls leaders to tell a story of redemption through their lives as they lead others in the redeeming story of God.  Leaders are primarily storytellers and story makers; and troubled people are called to be leaders because they create and tell compelling stories.  Sane, reasonable, play-it-safe people are not sufficiently engaged in life to generate great stories.  Instead, they sit back and wait for a leader-storyteller to come along and get them caught up in a life worth living.  Troubled leaders live with their weakness on their sleeve, and it is through their weakness that grace comes to be magnified (54).”

After 7 months since my last post, I am reentering the blogosphere.  Why?  The truth is, I need this outlet to process some of the really great and painful lessons God has been teaching me lately.  Blogging encourages me to slow down and engage in some much needed reflection, so that I don’t miss the significance of what God is doing.  Not every post will be profound.  I’ll share pictures and family news as well as some quick hitting updates via Twitter.  These will help to give context to the deeper posts.

Thanks for taking this journey with me.  I welcome your participation and look forward to what lies ahead.
