A refreshing twist
Recently I was introduced to a Gallup Poll book: "Strengthfinder 2.0" by Tom Rath. The book contains an online code to take an inventory to find a person's five top strengths. (There are 36 in all.) Rath then gives personal pointers on how to live into those strengths. The basic premise of the book is that people typically waste too much time focusing on their weaknesses and trying to improve them instead of honing in on the areas of their natural abilities. This is a refreshing twist on self-examination.
Asking "Huh?"
No, we do not always have to come up with something to say, but a smile or a wave or a thank-you is far better than nothing. These too are ways that we can be better "loggers" for Christ.
Love,
Pastor Esther
