the pookies began a study of Hebrews last night with a new bunch of people our age, mostly married couples. A lovely couple hosted in a lovely home in a lovely Brookside neighborhood, with a lovely dinner to boot.
At work, I've been thinking about the network of management and how much more difficult it must be to maintain a godly servant's attitude when you have people under you. I've never really had that responsibility, and credit that, in part, as something that's helped me to be more easy-going and humble. What's humbling, however, is how much more difficult it would be if I had power. I find I like responding to requests, and doing the best I can for whomever asks, even when they conflict, but this is far easier - this reactive life - than balancing gentleness with effectiveness as a manager or officer in a company. When I used to play capoeira, my disposition handicapped my game. My playfulness did not the fight aspect serve well.
that's all. just the musings of an aspiring servant.

dude, you use too many big words in a row:
"my disposition simultaneously informed and handicapped my game."
That's a tongue twister. You should stagger your big words, so you can have more flow.
just a thought.
I read your blog every time you update it.
:-)
