Changing Lanes

Here we are again. Up until now, we have taught on this blog on the soul and spirit of man. Today I just want to just want to share what is going on in my soul.

Last Sat. I was installed as the president of a small association of schools and colleges. Although I have taught school, helped set up a school, and set up my own school, to come into an association that is already functioning is a new experience for me. To function within your own vision that you feel God has given you, and to pick up on another's vision, are two totally different matters.

As I take most of this month to get the reins in hand it is important that I catch the spirit of what this organization,(The Institute for Strategic Christian Leadership)[ISCL] is meant to do in the Body of Christ. Courses I have written, school functionings I have done, but to lead in this capacity requires skills only the Holy Spirit can teach me. It is with this in mind that I approach this new position.

I am convinced that to be in this position is God's hand on me. Therefore, after I have taken time to assimilate the vision of former leaders, consulted with those who have gone before me in this position, I will proceed to gather together what is placed in my hand and move forward. Just how that will look at this moment is not clear, but there is already a moving forward and doors opening up.

It would seem that roots are to be put down here in Atlanta, GA. With that in mind we are setting our hearts to be here for at least 5 years or more.

If any of you know of small schools who are struggling and might need some help or counsel, please let them know of ISCL. The web site is iscl.org .

Well I will sign off for now, but more will be forthcoming.
