What I'm Learning from Speaking

By hgoodman - Posted on July 11th, 2008
Tagged:  •  
  1. I need to choose my topics carefully. God will first teach me what I intend to teach others. This began even while I was in seminary taking preaching courses--God wastes no opportunities!
  2. I can't be, nor should I try to be, any one else no matter how amazing, spiritual, and used-by-God they may be.
  3. I can't make the audience see who I am or who I want to be. I can work at seeing who they are.
  4. When I am weak, God is strong.
  5. My image is not nearly as important as God's: whom am I working to glorify?

Camping 101

What I learned from camping:

  1. It's best to spoil yourself when camping: steak and salmon for dinners and the like. It helps if you pack a Master Chef with you for just such an occasion. This is why I take my husband with me.

  2. Coffee tastes better percolated outside.

  3. Full moons are just as bright as the dawn.

  4. Also bring with you a pyro. They make the best campfires (um, my husband again).

City on Fire *

Chris (my husband, not the fellow Misfit) and I went camping this past weekend. Camping teaches me. Camping gives me a chance to draw closer to God in his creation.
Today I want to share with you my thoughts of fire.
Chris (again, my sexy husband) is a pyro. Pyros make the best campfires. Chris is an expert fire-maker.
Staring into the hypnotic flames, rubbing my hands near the warmth, I learned something.

Three Completely Unrelated Thoughts

Well, in some way, they are related, but to take you to the depths of my thought synapsis would be more frightening than a journey through Pan's Labyrinth.
1. I finally, finally finished a project that consumed mucho time, and I learned one major thing: stupidity covers a lot of brilliance.
2. Lisa Samson has some great advice for letting our Christ-light shine, so hop, skip, or jump over to here.

Going Tribal

My husband TVoed a couple of episodes of Going Tribal. I love studying other culturals, how they work, what makes them tick, etc., etc., etc. This particular show is about a guy who travels via foot (I feel for the poor camera-man who has to go on foot shooting all the while and heaving all that equipment) to different tribes in Africa. The episodes we saw were in Ethiopia.
Here are a couple of things I learned:
