My Prize is Salvation

 
The greatest Christmas present I ever (or evar) received came 2000 years ago, before any of my predecessors were even born. Thank you God for being the Creator of the Universe, and humbling yourself to human form in order to come here to earth and provide us a route to Salvation. What a prize you have given us. Thanks to shoeless mike for helping me to realize the great joy I get to experience by living free during this Christmas season. Thanks to all who provided hope in many ways, shapes, and forms to people that I have come to love in the D. Thanks to my wife for loving me so and for my God giving me the gift of breath and the gift of free grace through his Son, which is the reason we even have Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. God bless us everyone. Thank you Jesus, for loving me still, and for loving me even when I don't deserve it. Thank you to all my incredible friends and family that have supported the kkft over the last year and a half on the crazy journey that God has led us to. Your love, prayers, and financial support have meant more to us than you could ever know. We look forward to 2009 with much anticipation and hope in Jesus Christ, who will guide us in all things good. Praise to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Amen and amen.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
