Trying to follow

I keep on having aspirations to post all sorts of long and thoughtful thoughts on this here blog, but the time keeps on slipping away. Here are a few of the things keeping me busy:

1. Work, and thoughts and research about work-related stuff.
2. Cutting up carrots, doing dishes, and cooking chicken.
3. Getting the oil changed.
4. Cleaning my desk.
5. Working on my taxes.
6. sleeping in.
7. going to bed before midnight.

There is time on the horizon though don’t you worry. And I have this feeling that when I do post again, you’ll be there. Now that is a comforting thought.

Alex McManus said today:

The role of a leader is to describe the world we live in and to show others how to live in that world with moral authenticity.

I’ve never thought of the role of the leader being “to describe” but in a lot of ways I can see the truth in that. I think the leaders I have in my life are ones who are describing the world in way that moves me by it’s truth.  People like Mother Theresa, John Piper, Martin Luther King Jr., Shane Claiborne, Dorothy Day, Jesus, Mindy.  The thing that I find so awe inspiring really is the way they have “described” the world, and then, by their example, show me how to live in that world.

Alex is planning on writing more on leaders in the days to come and I look forward to reading it.

I got antsy again and updated my blog layout. It looks mostly the same and I hope you enjoy that, but I had to update to the new K2 just cause I could.
I spent the last half hour updating the tags on my previous post, starting at number one and making it to number 61. I had to take a break there and I’ll do more another weekend. Hopefully it will make your browsing of the Tag Cloud below more enjoyable. At some point I’ll also try and condense the tags a bit also.

As I was doing the tagging I noticed a number of post I had written that had solicited a number of comments. Two series that got a lot of comments where: Consider Church and Thoughts on War. I’d recommend you read through some of those post and the comments because the comments are very insightful. Starting this week I’ll do my best to read through a couple of those post and comments and then try to respond to them. Let me know which ones your interested in.

I might change the layout of this page at some point, I hope my readers don’t mind, I’m sort of nutso like that.
