Reflect

    • Happy Monday!

    I hope you enjoyed a peaceful Christmas weekend. Today we begin a week traditionally dedicated to  our word-of-the-week…

    REFLECT

    During Rich’s Ride I used this photo in a post titled The Right Rear View. The gist was that the rear view mirror should be small. Most of what’s important is ahead.

    You shouldn’t stare at the mirror, but a wise rider doesn’t ignore it, either. There’s a time to look back. The point is to use what’s in the mirror to improve the ride.

    This week is my time to reflect.

    I base my reflection process on one of my absolute favorite metaphors: Lessons From The Jar. I just re-read this important message—I invite you to take a look.

    This year I’m also meditating on the passage that inspired me during Rich’s Ride:

    Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
    See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
    I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

    I’ll re-examine my core values:

    I’ll look back at my three key words for 2011 and the goals they represent:

    • Readers
    • Workshop
    • Ride

    Then I’ll look forward, because that’s the reason for reflecting.

    God’s doing a new thing–I want to perceive it.

    Have a great final week of 2011.

    An Empty Kindle …

    … is a terrible thing.

    If you or someone you know found a Kindle under the tree, how about adding Relentless Grace to your reading list–at a special reduced price?
