Reflections and ramblings on leadership....

Leaders... they are so important I mean where would we be without them? but what makes someone want to be a leader in the first place? I myself have a Phlagmatic personality so by defalt I'm a sit on the sidelines and watch or do what im told kinda guy. It's wierd how some people are born with an innate ability to attract and lead others, while some of us can do the job if its pushed on us but would rather someone else get the job and the glory. But here i am prepareing to be a leader in a ministry and still not knowing why. I know God has called me to the ministry and I'm pretty shure its to do with youth, but why did He call me to do it? The other day I was looking at the news on the internet and saw aclip of the news about the plane that crashed in BC. And in that new clip there was a interview with one of the SAR Techs that first responded to the crash site. When i seen this and the pictures of the crash site i really longed to be there. It doesn't help to see articals in the "Maple Leaf" newspaper for SAR Techs either. i know there is a reaon why I'm here, but it would be nice to know what it is. I guess God just wants to let me know a little at a time to hepl me learn to trust Him more with my life. He knows I'm a person who likes plans that are well laid out and in advance as far as possible, so he's streaching me to fit the position that he has prepared for me...

Right now I'm listening to Switchfoot's song "this is your life" and when i think about it in reflection i really like how my life is going in most respects. I mean i'm not the biggest fan of school but I'm on my internship right now so I just have the homework and none of the classes until april so i really don't have to worry about it much....

ok this has turned into anouther reflection blog.... how does it happen.... anyways back to the leaders thing. Its kinda wierd but I really like learning about leadership stuff. Maxwell and Cordiero are some of my favourite authors right now and I really enjoyed the Mod clas on developing church leadership... I ENJOYED A CLASS!!! since when does that happen? I find it even weirder sence I'm not exactly the kind of person that jumps for the oppertunity to lead anything. ok I'm running out of coherent things to say....

Maybe I'm Just weird....

Thoughts of a Smart Guy

I thought these were interesting and figured I would pass them on...

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."
-- Albert Einstein

"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure." -- Albert Einstein

"Gravity cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." -- Albert Einstein

Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied:"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein

If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is work. _ Y is play. _ Z is keep your mouth shut. -- Albert Einstein
