To plan or not to plan, that is the question!

Sometime ago a friend and I headed to a meeting and stepped into an elevator, still chatting. We stood there engrossed in conversation waiting to be delivered to our destination. Finally, when the elevator wasn’t moving, we glanced at one another thinking that perhaps it was malfunctioning. Sadly the malfunction rested with us. We burst out laughing as we realized that neither of us had pushed the requisite button. Talk about missing the obvious.
As you can discern I am basically a “now” person. There’s nothing more enjoyable than sitting or walking with a friend and catching up on life enjoying a stimulating conversation and mostly ignoring anything else going on. Yet, surprisingly, God sometimes calls people like me to lead in His kingdom work. That presents some unique challenges. While it can be difficult for thoughtful and forward thinking folks to imagine, thinking ahead just doesn’t come naturally to me. Yet it is needed in leadership to maintain clarity and focus. Remember how Nehemiah carefully considered the conditions in Jerusalem before stepping into the leadership role to which God was calling him …

In my position as an auditor, I am required to get 80 hours of continuing professional education every two years. One of my favorite types of classes or workshops to attend are ones related to interviewing. I am always on the lookout for fraud and get positively giddy at the prospect of catching someone lying in an interview.
Honestly, anyone can pick up on clues that people are lying if they know what to look for. Some people instinctively know the signs of someone who’s trying to pull the proverbial wool over their eyes. One big clue is something that I call a modifier. For instance, if someone prefaces their statement with “Honestly…” or “To tell you the truth…” there is a pretty good possibility that they may be lying. Of course, we know that lying is a sin and is a sin not only against those we tell an untruth to but ultimately against God. Just like we see today, people who lived while Jesus walked this earth also tried to perpetrate falsehoods for whatever reason. The sad part is they tried to use God’s word to their advantage while they sinned …

“‘We Three Kings of Orient Are‘ –The Bible doesn’t say how many wise men there were. Traditionally the songs and stories only say there were three because there were three gifts. Wise Men, or Magi, were not kings. They were advisers and magicians for kings. As for the Orient, they were from the middle-east, not the far-east.”

“Flip to your favorite passages to see if you can catch them singing, and you get surprised by the total lack of musical terminology …”
