In the midsts of all my growth, I also like to look at the role of the church (since most of us go to one), and see how things get done. I know, I know, this is a loaded discussion, and one in which I haven’t yet started to really pick up a book on, (just found some interesting blogs and websites on the topic). It’s a rather complex topic as I am finding out. So many different ways of “doing church” and believing; (really, we, “the church”,do tend to make things way more complex than really neccessarry) that it can kind of make your head numb if you think about it too much, but I wanted to at least talk about something different here for a change. I found an interesting blog that stole a post from another blog, that stole a post from another blog; so I left a comment on his and said, nice blog, and by the way, I am stealing this too. Enjoy a bit of refreshing change today from all my “profound deepening of the soul, lol”. Oh, and check out his blog too, I find it pretty interesting. I know that I am very much more a Servant Leader today, and thank God for humility, because we all have a little bit of the Leader Man in us, I think.
