Angry, but OK

I am really bumbed out and a bit frustrated and a smidge angry. I wrote a huge post while I was on the plane, saved it as a word document so I could copy and paste. Since I got to nyc, I have been having much difficulty with my computer, my files, the network at work, etc. SO I will post that one later. Also had many other inclings to post things, but couldn't get on, broke this, that, etc. But I have food to eat and a place to sleep, so I'll be ok.


Here are some topics you may want to hear more on-just let me know:

  • Taxi drivers-This is a most interesting group, and I now have some interesting stories about cabbies.
  • Homeless people-It is neat to be able to bring food to them, sit with them, and share a meal.
  • Jogging in Central Park is one of the most incredible things I have experienced.
  • God has certainly called me to be here.
  • Waking up to look out your window at this city, and then going to sleep after looking out your window at this great city is something that will forever be engrained in my psyche.
  • Using your imagination when encountering Jesus opens your soul to new experiences.
  • I love people.
  • I love the kkft more than ever.

Much love.

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
