Kayak Trash - Ball

Kayak season has begun! That means I'll be starting to pull trash out of the river every Wednesday morning for my weekly Venture Outdoors paddle. I plan to post pictures of my finds. Mostly it will be plastic bottles, but this week I found a soccer ball!

Meetings

by Despair, Inc.

hehe, just kidding. We are having 2 full days of meetings at work to plan for the upcoming year and I think we'll actually accomplish what we set out to do. But man, it's hard to get actual work done when your day is full of meetings.

Prayer

Does it work?
Can we really "change God's mind"?
Or is it an illusion?

Are there certain words to say?
Should I say nothing?
Is it an advanced form of listening?

Am I the answer to my own prayers?
Do I have courage to be the answer?
Do I pray for that courage?

Can I feel a change?
Do I see it work?
Or do I feel like I'm hitting a wall?

Do I get to see results?
Or grow closer to the mess?
Realize that it is bigger than myself?

Is it done alone?

Or done in community?
Does "where 2 or more are gathered" apply?

Approach with humility?
With anger?
With a rote method devoid of feeling?

Do you answer questions God?
Are you listening?
Are you there?

Mentoring

Thought of the day:

Successful mentoring or tutoring is about relationships and building trust. If you go into it to impart knowledge, you will likely fail. Become a mentor if you want to have a healthy lesson in humility.
