CCDA Insight
In being here at CCDA I have had a personal insight, not really directly related to any of the topics that have been addressed, but emerging in the midst of the presentations and workshops. The insight is this, I listen to different people for different reasons now than I did 5 years ago.
5 years ago I tended to listen to people based on their beliefs — tell me what you believe, then I’ll listen to what you have to say. Today I tend to listen to people based on their character — show me how you live, what kind of person you are, then I’ll listen to you.
So, yeah, there ya go.

Hi There…
Hey, I'm JR - welcome to the blog.
I'm just an average guy trying to shape his identity around God's dream for the world and his place in it. This blog is a place for me (and you!) to reflect on and discuss all that might mean. Looking for a bit more on me? Check out the about me. Peace.
