I like the discussion that Mark Sanborn has in his book "You Don't Need A Title To Be A Leader". The comparison is as follows:
Resume - What you've accomplished - Legacy -- What you've contributed
Resume - Results; Legacy -Relationships
Resume - Money you've made Legacy: The difference you've made
Resume - The impression you leave Legacy: The impact you have
Resume - Your career Legacy -- your organization, family, and community
Resume self-improvement Legacy: helping others improve
let's add some of our own;
Resume - building a big church Legacy: making disciples
Resume - developing a name for self Legacy: glorifying God
Resume - relying of self relying Legacy: relying on Holy Spirit
Resume - pleases men Legacy: pleases God
He asks the question: are you building a strong resume or preparing to leave a lasting legacy?

Dusty, Good point! If we intentionally had our minds more on the kindgom, we would begin to God work in new and exciting ways. Hope everything is good in Conway! Coming to Pepperdine this next year?
I'm thinking of going to the Zoe Worship Conference in Nashville, or the Full Bubble Fellowship Retreat with Jerry Jones in Paris,Tennessee, or the National Pastor's Conference in San Diego. I did enjoy the ACU Lectures in Abilene. Oh, so many choices!
