Here we go!

This is what I’m thinking about today:

• How do I verbalize to high school kids that the Gospel is a person, not a story? (Reading Speaking of Jesus – Carl Medearis).
• Wondering what I will learn from my friend Sam today, and also what ‘my plenty’ is and how I can offer that to our friendship. (II Cor. 8:14).
  • Who is a friend, customer, donor, family member that you need to connect with today? Give them a call – your life and their life will be better for it.
• Why do people still buy and eat canned meat? I love it! Octopus, sardines, smoked oysters. Fresh is usually best, but meat in a can is something that still sells. We must pay attention to the ways of the past as we innovate the things of the future. What really works? What motivates my desire to re-create? There are some things that do not need innovation or re-creation. I vow to listen to those that have gone before me, to ask real questions and not to create unless there is a direct need.
  • Where are you attempting to create? Does the world want or need that project? Do people want or need that project? If the answer is “no” then stop!
