marginal thoughts
Margins.
Thoughts that have lingered in the footnotes, in the headspace, in the margins, chicken scratch on the napkin.
Still fieldnotes, just not complete, fleshed out writings or ramblings at this point.
Musings dump, if you will.
John 6:29 msg - throw your lot in with the one that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works.
God elevates the late-comer.
The point of the game is not to win. The point of the game is to keep playing. If it was to win, then I need others to lose. If the point is to keep playing, I need others to keep playing too.
Superiority complex - not I’m better than others. But continuously saying I’m better than I am right now.
Fact - interpretation - response. My experience is my choice/my fault. Fact-interpretation is an action-equal opposite reaction relationship.
Every person has fought a battle I never will. Every person can teach me something I don’t know. Every person has had an experience with the Lord I have not. Every person images God in a way I cannot.
Previous victories and current wrestling can occur on the same plot of land. They are not mutually exclusive. Blessing may still leave a limp. There is an intimacy in wrestling.
Relational invitation. What does the pivot from “to me” to “through me” look like? From self awareness to others awareness and contribution?
Ask- what is true wisdom? “True wisdom is a deep understanding of life and the world around us, and the ability to apply that understanding in a way that benefits oneself and others. It involves not only knowledge, but also compassion, insight, and a sense of humility. True wisdom recognizes the interconnectedness of all things and values the well-being of all beings, not just oneself. It is often associated with qualities such as patience, empathy, curiosity, and open-mindedness, and it involves a constant process of learning, growth, and self-reflection.”
What you consume is what you create. Knowledge, understanding, revelation, insight.
Hungry, humble, hustle
Real KPI’s - keep people informed, involved, interested, and inspired
