Restoring a Sense of Wonder

Friday night on the Hill was largely worship, but Bob introduced the topic of man's role of leadership to the group and our failures throughout history to be leaders.

I've been reading about 360 degree leadership which involves leading up, leading across and leading down. You can lead anyone at any level until you lead yourself well. This is very consistant with Bob's fundemental emphasis on knowing who you are in Christ before you attempt anything in life.

Here are a few of the notes I took on Friday night:

The Goal of a Teacher

• To make the simple profound
• To make the profound simple

Trust in man ( any man ) is futile, man is free to fail and he will.



Faith restores a sense of wonder that we need at every stage of life. As men, we need to steer and fan the faith that restores the sense of wonder in our children to the right amplitude, direction and purpose.

• From birth to age 3, children are amazed at what is beyond an open door
• From age 3 to 10, children are amazed by their ability to open a door
• From age 10 to 100, children wonder why the door is opened for them

What a privilege we have to watch our children progress through these stages only a few years behind us.
