  Recently I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing Nancy Orberg’s latest book called unleashing the POWER of rubber bands: lessons in non-linear leadership.

  [management by God] relentless pursuit

  authentic christianity, ministry 2 comments

  One sentence is all that was recorded about his time as a leader. And one comment about his era of leadership was made later by another leader. The third recorded Judge in Israel’s history barely gets a mention. This makes me wonder what this man Shamgar must have been like. [...]

  I’ve recentlyhad the pleasure of watching a feat in college sports that may be difficult to ever do again (originally written in May 2007). I particularly enjoyed this because I am a big fan of the University of Florida Gators, but regardless of who you like, or if you’re even [...]
