A Thin Layer of Arrogance
Just the other night, Linda and I were talking about leadership and
humility. One of the things I have had to learn about being a Pastor
of a Church is that I need to develop a deep humility yet wrap it up
in a thin layer of arrogance. Without the humility, I set myself up to
really hurt people and damage the Church. Yet without the layer of
arrogance, I would wimp out and never say anything of substance. I
would never seek to do anything new or original. I would never do
anything for which I would be proud.
I think this is a good area for thought for my first foray into online
journalling (called blogging). I have to begin with the idea that
there might be something marginally interesting about what I may be
doing or thinking on any particular day.
For those of you from my churches reading this. Don’t worry. I will
uphold strict confidentiality in my journalling. I will just open up
my heart and soul, not yours.
Blessings, David
