Thoughts on Data, Culture, and Organizational Development
When I was younger
My parents would reward my brother and I by giving us money for grades. Would would get an amount for A’s and a smaller amount for B’s. The expectation was that we wouldn’t make C’s or lower so there were no rewards below B’s. What does this have to do with business? Continue reading “How do you know?”
The last several weeks I’ve been writing about my blank bible project. If you haven’t had the chance, feel free to go and read the First, Second, and Third posts. Below here you can see the final product. Continue reading “Bible Project – Part 4”
The last few weeks I’ve been writing about my blank bible project. You can read the first post here and the second post here.
Once everything was apart, it was time to build it all back up bigger and better. Continue reading “Bible Project – Part 3”
Last week I posted about the idea for my blank bible project. You can read that here.
First thing was to gather all my materials. Here’s a pic. Continue reading “Bible Project – Part 2”
There’s a phrase the you hear a lot. I’ll start it and you finish it. “You reap what you….”
OK, got the phrase? If not, just wait. I’ll come back to it later.
I was helping someone walk through conflict with another friend a few weeks ago. The hard part in communicating during conflict is Continue reading “Our Just Desserts”
We’ve been talking on Conversatio Morum about developing the ability to gauge how you’re doing, how your team is doing, and how effective you are at accomplishing your task. We’ve described this as a Check Yourself mentality. We’ve talked about several different ways to measure this, and why it’s important. You can see all the posts here. The final thing I want to discuss with this is the need to experiment. By this, I don’t mean, make uninformed decisions. What I mean is that there are always things to improve, things to tweak, better ways of doing things. Continue reading “Check Yourself – Part 5”

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I think I can start posting more now. I think that I can break the silence.
I guess I should start with what God is doing in my life. The only way to do this adequately is to draw back. About two weeks ago I wrote this. For those who don’t know, I got away. I went and stayed in the middle of the woods, alone, for two nights. I needed adventure and could sense it. I needed to get away and wrestle with God on some stuff, and that seemed the remedy for it. That seemed where I could meet Him. It was good. Continue reading “Night and Day”
It’s time for a guest post!! Here’s one from Jonathan Jones. Jonathan is a Doctoral student, Worship Leader, and student of the grace of God. When he’s not being a musical genius, you can probably find him working, teaching on grace, or being that guy playing guitar on campus. Point being, he’s cool AND smart. That’s a 1-2 punch combo folks. You can check out the blog he writes at http://jonathanmichaeljonesblog.blogspot.com/ or follow him on Twitter @j_mjones
I was recently in the context of a corporate worship service where the people prayed for healing of a man with cancer. It is clear from scripture that we should do this. Nevertheless, although God is perfectly capable of healing someone of sickness, we are not owed that. Continue reading “We Are Not Owed”
Happy Independence Day!! Random fact: did you know that the Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 2nd, not 4th? Today I’m taking a break from the old Xanga posts. I’d like to take this moment to remember the brave men and women who have participated in the founding of a nation. Men and women who took a stand and risked, for something they believed in greatly.
