We May Not Win The Battle - A Poem

We may not win the battle
That we've all been called to fight;
There is a strong resistance
When we stand for what is right.
May we not be disheartened,
For when all is said and done,
We may not win the battle,
But the war's already won.

    It's good to see 'We may not win the battle' on your blog. I didn't realise my comment that the 'battle for servant leadership may never be won' would provide this inspiration. We'll keep persevering. It is the only leadership to which any Christian should aspire. We are given divine authority to serve! Robert Street

Five For Five

I don't want to write today. It's not that I can't - there are certainly plenty of things that transpired over this past weekend that are blog-worthy, but honestly, my heart can't handle writing a full post about some of them. That being said, I'll continue day five of my challenge with five short thoughts that reflect this past weekend for me. Enjoy. 1. Life and loved ones need to be cherished while we have the capacity to do so. We really never know when the end will come, and sadly, death is no respecter of youth or circumstances. Stop taking life, friends, and family for granted. Love them while you have them. 2. Sometimes a long weekend is all you need for a proper getaway, especially if you have good friends who will bring you into their home and stay up past midnight just to talk for hours and let you unload everything. I am truly blessed to have spent this past weekend with a beautiful family including a couple friends who have really been pillars for my...

I Found Fifty Questions

In preparation for the future of Wise Question Wednesdays, I decided to seek out and complete a "Getting To Know You" questionnaire. Please enjoy! Remember to send your questions to walkwiththeseanwise@gmail.com to have them featured on the blog! 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Sean Connery. 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I cry a lot these days. 3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? As long as no one else tries to read it, yes. 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? I'd rather just skip to dinner meat, but roast beef is pretty good. 5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Yes, two of them. 6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? It depends on which person I would be, I guess, but I tend to get along with most everyone, so I suppose. 7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? No... (He said sarcastically.) 8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes, though I was supposed to get them out about 20 years ago. 9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? If someone else pays. 10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? M...

Adventure With Christ!

The Salvation Army has a program for school-age boys called Adventure Corps.  At my church, we have two sections of the Adventure Corps program - the Explorers, grades 1-5, and the Rangers, grades 6-12.  I am blessed with the privilege to teach the older group of boys for our youth nights. We resumed our youth nights in January after taking November and December off (a necessary evil to meet the logistical demands of the Christmas Kettle fundraising season).  As is my custom in the class, I had the boys vote through the eight categories of Ranger badges bracket style to determine what our next set of activities would include.  After the voting had been finalized, the boys decided to tackle a badge in the "outdoors" category. Outdoors.  In Minnesota.  In January. And so, I decided to do instruction from that category on the Orienteering badge, using as many class periods as I could doing activities that could be done indoors (studying maps, learning ab...
