  • Hubris

    Is it bad to have it?  Is it hubris if the thing you have pride in is what you are called to?  If you are really called to it, then it can’t be pride right?  It’s hubris. As you can tell, I’m not quite sold on whether I believe it…

  • What the Land Says to You

    I recently heard a talk about how suburbanism is basically making our land ugly.  It is so ugly that it’s not worth fighting for.  We have taken our spaces and just made them functional and they are no longer aesthetically appealing. They said that in the country, you have nature.…

  • LL10: Management Encourages Compliance

    But leadership encourages creativity and change. For all of my Leadership Lessons.

  • Bring Family with You

    Our new students have arrived on campus.  There is execitement in the air – because of the new students as well as the excitement that the new students bring.  I have never seen students so excited to move in and make their beds.  The past few days have been fun…

  • New PQ

    I posted a bunch of pithy quotes recently.  A few friends added to it. Whenever I come across a PQ, I am going to share it here.  It’ll be another series of posts along with my Leadership Lessons and Book Reviews. I heard a great one this morning that I’m…

  • I’m the one called Doc

    A poem about what my brother does for the Navy.  He’s a corpsman.  He shared it and I share it now with you. I’m the one called “Doc” I shall not walk in your footsteps, but I will walk by your side. I shall not walk in your image, I’ve…

  • Mass Cass

    I just posted about Beautiful Love, and now I am going to post about Mass Cass.  I just received an e mail from my brother who is in Afghanistan.  They had a Mass Cass (Casualty) last week.  For those that don’t know – I’ve been keeping another blog to update…

  • Beautiful Love

    I just can’t think of a better title than that. Today was the day for new students to show up on campus and move into their rooms to begin their college adventure. It was an amazing day, and I can write about the day but I want to start with…

  • NSO

    NSO stands for New Student Orientation. NSO for SDCC is tomorrow. I’m so excited about. We are blessed with the most amazing students. I’m stoked about their excitement and their willingness to come and make it such an exciting place. The new students coming tomorrow are not going to know…

  • LL9: Leaders Don’t React

    Leaders don’t react. They make change which everyone else reacts to. If a leader reacts to something – that’s exactly the thing that needs to be changed. I know it’s not original with me. I’ve been listening to so many things and reading so many things that I have no…

  • Against the Grain

    Our NSO (New Student Orientation) theme is Against the Grain.  It was great sharing about it today.  But I took an against the grain perspective on the Against the Grain theme. Being against the grain is a Jesus quality.  It was something that Jesus did.  He did many against the…

  • Brett Favre as a Viking

    I lived in Minnesota for 3 years.  I am in no way a Minnesotan, but Favre as a Viking.  I just can’t see it and I’m asking all of my Minnesotan friends what they think about it.  They do need quarterback and Favre got out of Training Camp.  Actually, I…
