Leadership: A Morning Person

I am not a morning person but I have learned the value of taking better advantage of the time that God has given me.

You CAN learn how to be a morning person.

Michael Hyatt's podcast addresses that here. Enjoy and I will see you early in the morning! :)

Love: Avengers

grew up loving comics (and the Avengers in particular). If you enjoyed the most recent movies, I thought you might want to learn more through a printed medium (it's how I loved learning to read growing up). Here is an article that might help guide you:

So You Liked The Avengers Movie... Which Comic Books Should You Read Now?

Wisdom Wednesday: Family Systems Theory

Studying Bowen Theory and Systems Theory this week in class. Realizing that some of the responsibility for what goes on with my family begins with me.

Life: New Year, New Adventures

The new year has begun.

I have transitioned from being the Lead Pastor at my church to "a" pastor so that I can concentrate on my ministry with the SDB General Conference.

Tabatha has reduced her hours at work so that she could spend more times with the kids and so we don't have to enlist so much help during the week picking up and dropping off kids.

We have purchased a new car so that we have a reliable vehicle to travel with and to help re-establish credit.

I have increased my course load in my doctoral program at Denver Seminary so that I might graduate sooner.

I am traveling to Ethiopia (my first mission trip and time outside of North America) at the end of the month.

All in all this may be one of the most adventurous Pethtel years yet.

Leadership: All Glory Be to Christ

The first rule of leadership is to know that you own nothing and do nothing for your own gain. As those who follow a Christian worldview, ALL glory goes to Christ!
