Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We, along with the Osborn's, always host people who are far away from their families. And in Utah, that can be a long list! We've had as many as 44, although this year we only had 21.
The Hogs vs. LSU was a great game! For some reason LSU just has our number. Two bright spots: Darren McFadden & Felix Jones both had monster games (should make McFadden #2 in the Heisman voting) and we are still in the SEC Championship game with Florida. Arkansas has yet to win an SEC championship, so this could be the first!
Been reading "You Don't Need a Title To Be A Leader" by Mark Sandborn. I love his discussion of leaders versus managers:
Managers have employees. Leaders win followers
Managers react to change. Leaders create change
Mangagers have good ideas. Leaders implement them
Managers communicate. Leaders persuade.
Managers direct groups. Leaders create teams.
Managers take credit. Leaders take responsibility.
Another list is the difference between "others" and leaders:
Others tell. Leaders sell
Others impress. Leaders influence.
Others try to be heard. Leaders strive to be understood.
Others explain. Leaders energize.
Others inform. Leaders inspire.
Others relay only facts. Leaders tell stories.
Seems to me that, in the church anyway, we have more "managers" than leaders. The church today needs leadership!!! The church needs bold faithfilled leaders who are sold out to bringing in the reality of the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Does your church have honest to goodness leaders? Are YOU a leader or a manager?
