1) Understanding how He uses crisis to transform character. James 1:2-4 = embracing the trial.
2) Humility - being willing to serve from underneath, do work that is "beneath me".
3) Other-centered - what God is doing in me is for others around me. Open up and reach out.
4) Obedience problem is really a love problem - stop keeping sin around like you might return to it one day. Get rid of it.
5) Transformation is a God-sized task. I can't do it myself. He must make up the difference.
"Time is a tyrant, words our best and only weapons." - Lyndsay Faye | Here begins a new decade. As I enter my sixties, I use this space to assess life: how I have lived it so far, how I might finish my working life and move into retirement, and what I might share from the experiences I've had. The concept of the Renaissance Man has been an aspiration of mine, often without realizing it, hence the title. So much to experience, so much to think about, so much to enjoy and be grateful for!
