Limps are interesting things. They can arise from all sorts of situations, some good and some bad. Regardless, they show you have been somewhere. You did not escape unchanged, unscathed. You will bear the mark for as long as you live.

An Excellent Strategy
“Whatever you do, do it with excellence to the glory of God, and do it strategically for the mission of God.” – J.D. Greear
Being a believer in Jesus changes how I view work. Work isn’t about profit, although profit is nice. Work isn’t about approval, although I like to hear that I’m doing a good job from time to time. Work isn’t a burden, although some days—like today when it’s gloomy—it’s hard.
Good Leaders Are Balanced
“Good leaders are balanced and require balance of their employees.” – J.D. Greear
When work is an expression of love for God and others, I don’t worry about the work-life balance. I am balanced. I don’t get pulled into workaholicism. I don’t set standards of perfection. I aim for something else entirely: glorifying God and blessing others.
