in terms of the race, its effect on the Black community, the Whites who get
drawn in, and the damage it causes the overall society. Although, I found much
of his references to Christianity to be limited and far from the transformative
life of grace that Jesus challenges us to live, one cannot deny that there is
too much truth in that the Evangelical church, can have a very rigid and
domineering dogma. In chapter six, he talks about the need for “separation of
church and state.”</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/The%20Post%20Christian%20Religion%20Woke.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">
Here the author takes a hard-line separation, but as one who follows Jesus, as
an agent of his love and grace, what does this look like? As a public educator,
I walked this delicate line like a diplomat. But after enjoying many years of
teaching in Poland, where Jesus was an accepted and welcome topic in the classroom,
I might find it difficult in this less tolerant climate of today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the zealot behaviors that seem to silence many gave me some handholds on who
may be open to conversation. He helped to identify those individuals that still
remember that we are one society and that in our face-to-face conversations we
can find a way forward to a better life for us all, and those who will not for
any reason be seated at the table with a person from the other group. Professor
McWhorter also brought to the forefront that the religious thinking of the woke

linguist and award-winning writer John McWhorter argues that an illiberal
neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening
the American social fabric. Americans of good will on both the left and the
right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the
conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We're told read books and listen
to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is
\"appropriation.\" We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege
and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we'll be
seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the
problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become,
not a progressive ideology, but a religion-and one that's illogical,
unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals
the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of \"white
privilege\" and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to
the evangelical fervor of the \"woke mob.\" He shows how this
religion that claims to \"dismantle racist structures\" is actually
harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black
students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage
Black communities. The new religion might be called \"antiracism,\"
but it features a racial essentialism that's barely distinguishable from racist
arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it's
not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and
encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most
importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt,
Black America\"--","call-number":"E185.86 .M4273

actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people,
setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately
damage Black communities. The new religion might be called

distinguishable from racist arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black
America, and for all of us, it's not too late to push back against woke racism.

linguist and award-winning writer John McWhorter argues that an illiberal
neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening
the American social fabric. Americans of good will on both the left and the
right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the
conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We're told read books and listen
to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is
\"appropriation.\" We hear that being white automatically gives you
privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear
we'll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John
McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism
has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion-and one that's
illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism,
McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of
\"white privilege\" and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban
heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the \"woke mob.\" He shows how
this religion that claims to \"dismantle racist structures\" is actually
harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black
students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage
Black communities. The new religion might be called \"antiracism,\"
but it features a racial essentialism that's barely distinguishable from racist
arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it's
not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and
encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly,
he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black
America\"--","call-number":"E185.86 .M4273

truth to power was avoidance. In my eyes this phrase triggers an image of someone
screaming their personal truth at anyone that disagrees with them. James O’Toole’s
article “Speaking Truth to Power: A White Paper,”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> dislodged me from my high
horse to my own personal realities of the risks and consequences of
highlighting corporate missteps that compromise the overall integrity of the
organization. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">James O’Toole a distinguished professor of Business
Ethics at the University of Denver, author of a number of books and articles<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> on confrontation of
leadership, and transparency within the workplace. O’Toole conveys the reality
that this is an age old issue of leaders who have deaf ears to their subordinates
who “speak good sense.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> The author cites a number
of modern corporations that exemplify the characteristics and consequences of hierarchical
rigidity, while contrasting those with a culture of openness that encourages
and demands tough challenging questions and “constructive dissent.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> It is leadership’s resistance
to questioning “behavior-driving assumptions” that leads to “group think, a state
of collective denial or self-deception.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> O’Toole, cites his
co-author Warren Bennis’ notes on transparency and the creation of a “culture
of candor, one in which followers are free to speak truth to power and leaders
are willing to hear it,”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> is the key to organizations
remaining competitive and growing. It is interesting that this concept of
corporate vulnerability is in stark contrast to the traditional leader who is “decisive,
tough, take-charge men who quickly fire those who are not ‘team-players.’”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>The remainder of the text provides
examples of the risks and responsibilities of messengers, listeners, and
organizations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jesus was the master of speaking truth to power. He skillfully
confronted the religious leaders of the day, being fully aware of the cost. He
graciously spoke the truth of people’s sin while inviting them into a life of
freedom and hope. He empowered the women, slaves, and outcasts of every kind
while challenging the accepted thinking of the day. I have this sense that there
were times through levity he revealed hard truths similar to O’Toole’s “corporate
fool.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> Jesus modeled, and the early church pursued a
life, community of egalitarian openness, empowerment, and service. The
disciples were often asking questions, and the women were allowed to do the
same. Although Jesus desired obedience, it was not to be blind, rather a
response to the love relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If I had more time and space a study of the Beatitudes
in light of speaking truth to power could be very interesting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">What does this have to do with my context? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I am perplexed in how my church context, though they say
all the right things, in terms of openness and transparency, there is a
significant gap between the expressed values and behavioral execution. Upper
leadership seems to be out of touch with the reality of those leaders in the
trenches.<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> This is compounded by the
lack of meaningful relationship between the various levels.<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> The corporate purposes
are often misplaced or contrary to the values and purposes of the denomination.<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> This makes it difficult
for corporate leadership to clearly identify all the stakeholders and value their
input.<a href="file:///C:/Users/denis/OneDrive/Desktop/There%20Is%20An%20Elephant%20In%20The%20Room.docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> All this results in group
think that those closer to the top know best. Individuals that point out issues
are told that they are out of alignment with the organization, though they may
not be out of alignment with scripture or the expressed values. Those who have an
voice to speak and be heard by leadership prefer to back away, saying it is not
their responsibility or they do not want to get into the politics of it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There is a very large elephant in the room that many well-meaning

with a new chapter on Inclusive Leadership Adopted in thousands of courses in
89 countries and translated into 15 different languages, this market-leading
text successfully combines an academically robust account of the major theories
and models of leadership with an accessible style and focus on how leadership
theory can inform leadership practice. Peter G. Northouse uses a consistent
structure for each chapter, allowing readers to easily compare and contrast
different theories. Case studies and questionnaires provide students with
practical examples and opportunities to deepen their understanding of their own
leadership style. Key Features: A consistent chapter structure outlines each
approach, how it works, and the major studies behind it, followed by an
analysis of the strengths and criticisms for each approach Three case studies
in each chapter help students to apply leadership theories in real-world
scenarios. Questionnaires within each chapter provides self-assessment and
reflection opportunities for each theory presented. New to This Edition: New
Chapter on Inclusive Leadership provides a model of inclusive leadership that
examines antecedent conditions, leader behaviors, and positive organizational
outcomes associated with inclusive leadership 18 new real-world case studies
profile leaders around the globe including cases on New Zealand Prime Minister
Jacinda Ardern, a mental health program in Zimbabwe, and how a university in
the US responds to crisis. New discussion of leadership and morality explores
leadership as a neutral process and leadership as a moral
process\"--","call-number":"HM1261 .N67

Change money? Dollar? Marks?”<p> “Change money? Change money? Dollar? Marks?” This phrase
still haunts me when I am in certain places in Poland. These persistent pleas
of individuals with hopes to unload the local currency for a more value stable
one.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span></span></a>
Every Westerner knew these cries, as the hard currency they had could buy their
way out of any challenging situation.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a>
The long lines of people waiting in line in anticipation of acquiring a long-awaited commodity they do not need, were another standard feature of the highly
controlled market system. The long lines due to government control of production
caused every item regardless of individual need to have an elevated value. Every
product was a means of direct exchange of that item,<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span></span></a>
which was necessary because the money in their pocket no longer retained its
value. Meanwhile, those hard currencies were the golden ticket to a more secure

purchase at the dollar store. These are very real imagines in my mind of a
person’s desperate attempt to gain some control over the economic world around
them. My longitudinal observations of Polish friends attest to the stifling of the
human spirit that “government(s) can cause…by controlling monetary policy.” [<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">4]</span></span></span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

Ammous’ clear explanation of the “benefits derived from an economy that grows
in a rational and sustainable way.”<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
Dr. Ammous uses his engineering and economic background to lay the foundation for
the need of an independent currency that is “without inflation or the negative
consequences of the nationalization and politicization of fiduciary money.”<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
He also points out why, in his opinion, the Keynesian economics is deeply flawed.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
Although, it is the preferred theory of universities and governments, it
neglects to consider human behavior while in times of scarcity.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
Individuals who have options will find a way to overcome the scarcity they encounter
if the system does not get in their way. He argues that a free market exchange
of goods within a stable monetary system is necessary to produces the futile
ground for healthy investments, entrepreneurship, and personal control of one’s
financial future.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
Ammous sees Bitcoin as the cryptocurrency with the greatest potential for being
an “international decentralized liquidity network based on sound money principles” [<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Change%20money.docx#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn13;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">13]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
that can compete with the centralize banking systems of the nations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This book definitely gave me a crash course in economics
that made sense to me. However, the high risk and uncertainty of Bitcoin have
not convinced me to jump into that pond yet. Overall, there are a number of
questions this book has stirred in me:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Given the high global inflation that many
nations are experiencing as a result of Covid 19 measures, economic recovery plans,
fuel shortages, and war in Ukraine are we looking at another great depression?<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Today, I wonder if there is really a hard

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Is it really possible to have an independent

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Have we been too eager to replace God’s gracious
provision that requires faith in the unknown, for a quick fix of a powerful,
self-serving government?<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Is Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies really
hack free?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a lot to wrestle with in terms of governmental
controls in finance and personal independent control. I have seen how extreme
government control of economics snuffs the life out of the eyes of individuals.
I have watched the same individual gain new life through a free market system
with an ever-stabilizing currency become creative entrepreneurs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Those morals and values connected to sexuality have changed
dramatically from my childhood. Going for a routine doctor visit results in me
being an anomaly of profound proportion, because my virginity is so rare that I
usually have to explain it. Then there is the young person, who has gone
through drug therapy to be male and now is pregnant, only to be angry that he
cannot participate in the male chorus because of complications with the
pregnancy. I am confused. Or my friend who recently closed his church because
his understanding of how to best be Jesus within the LGBTQ+ community is in
conflict with church doctrine. I am sad and confused. In the midst of this fog,
I find myself asking how these examples are different from the individual who
defines themselves by their obesity, overcommitments, profanity, indulgence in pornography
or indiscriminate sex? Is it possible to live a holy life that is gracious,
accepting, without giving a green light to sin? What does that look like? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Part one of this four-part book provides the framework
for understanding the lines of connection to today. Trueman lays this
foundation on the works of “sociologist Philip Rieff,” “philosopher Charles Taylor,”
and “ethicist Alasdair MacIntyre</span>.” [</span><a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Finding%20Identity%20Within%20Today.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> He skillfully links the
thoughts of these men to explain humanity’s focus internally to define morality
“by one’s sense of therapeutic fulfillment and authentic self-actualization</span>.” [</span><a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Finding%20Identity%20Within%20Today.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In parts 2 and 3, Trueman reveals his historical intellect
by using: Rousseau, Nietzsche, Marx, and Darwin to reveal the “lineage of the modern
conception of self</span>.” [</span><a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Finding%20Identity%20Within%20Today.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> He further broadens the
readers understanding by including the perspective of the poets: Woodsworth,

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I found myself reflecting of Christ’s call to individuals
to follow him. Those invitations were huge steps into the unknown. Steps out of
stability and comfort into a lifestyle of risk, and process of transformative,
or refined resilience. I cannot help but wonder how often, we as church leaders
actually invite people into a life of all in risk taking with Jesus? Or has our
“need to something”</span><a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Disciples%20of%20Jesus%20are%20Antifagile.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" title=""><sup><sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[2]</span></sup></sup></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">

called to serve?</span><a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Disciples%20of%20Jesus%20are%20Antifagile.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" title=""><sup><sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[3]</span></sup></sup></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The disciples of Jesus were invited to a life of
growing in antifragility. It was an invitation into a life that is totally
reliant on one’s Creator (Luke 5:1-11). This was a life of adventure,
randomness, volatility and insecurity in the tangible world (Luke 9:57-59). Yet
somehow the risks and loss, produced a resilience of character that was sustained
through faith, and an inner peace beyond comprehension (Luke 10:4). Those who
embarked on this journey experience great joy and empowerment, as well as great
loss, and pain (Luke 10:17, Hebrews 11:35-38). What makes this an adventure and
not just some spiritual masochistic endeavor? Could the answer and strength be
found in the relationship with the master? In the daily interchange of thought,
daily life, and watching him navigate the random disruption with a surety and
peace the disciples had not encountered? Could this possibly the value Taleb found
in the “apprenticeship models” of the Swiss education system?<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Disciples%20of%20Jesus%20are%20Antifagile.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s vast background in mathematics,
probability, and philosophy is reflected in his writing in <i>Antifragile</i>. This
comes through is numerous references to mythological gods and events. He has a
statical approach to the nature of randomness and volatility. The overarching
theme in the book is that all things, including people, benefit from “shock”
and “volatile environments, because as they’re stressed and put under pressure,
they get better.”<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Disciples%20of%20Jesus%20are%20Antifagile.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That being said, I do find myself being challenged to reevaluate
my leadership in terms of stealing the struggle from those I serve. There is
definitely great value in exploring more of a mentor model within the church
that is active and interactive while allowing for lessons through both failure
and success. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

A part of the work I am doing requires me to write a blog post every week on a leadership book we have read. So, to better include you on my journey I decided to start posting them here as well. Below is this week's post.</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I moved into my place in Sequim nearly a year ago, and
with moving comes the seemingly endless unpacking. For me, every box was an
adventure of new or a rediscovery of a different life. Some boxes revealed my
life before I had a passport, while others were filled with treasures from
previous generations. One of the most revealing discoveries I found was in the numerous
boxes of old documents. You know the ones, those that you have to keep until
the appointed time when they can be shredded. There among the decades of papers
doomed for destruction I found notes, old journals, and random thoughts that
echoed the themes running through my NPO. At that moment I had no words to explain
the connections.<a href="https://d.docs.live.net/8a9df56eb1c69de2/Desktop/Tacit%20Knowledge.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>

It is a place where planting a church or "expanding" the Kingdom in numerical ways is difficult. I have to continuously remind myself that Jesus has asked me to be obedient to His voice & all the results are in His hands. And He will fulfill His promises, as well as, accomplish all His plans. Because that is what His Word says.<br />
Nonetheless, it is difficult to not compare oneself with others. Or to somehow feel that you have fallen short when you can't/don't "produce" the "numbers" that are expected.<br />
For me the beginning of 2018 has been just that...disappointing. And the mental battle has been great as I have been ill since December 27, 2017. Physically, weak & sluggish, and unable to start the new year well.<br />
Today I'm finally beginning to feel a bit more like myself. I'm growing in Hope that I can finally start this year and get some good traction for the tasks the Lord has set before me.<br />
<br />
Thanks for sticking with me.<br />
<br />
Below is an article that has encouraged me. <a href="http://www.alifeoverseas.com/when-your-missionary-stories-arent-sexy/" target="_blank">An Article of Hope for Faithfulness</a>journeyofhearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07658178150659408893noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7680300.post-76347661711642714002017-09-25T03:07:00.000+02:002017-09-25T03:07:26.020+02:00Embracing the Large Pot of Mixed EmotionsMy bags are packed again...mostly. The cat sitter is arranged. The bills are paid. All is left is the final walk through to make sure I have all my cables & my bags aren't overweight. You would think that 8 weeks at "home" I would filled with excitement. It is hard to describe the strange bag of emotions that I have learned to keep at bay. Joy, sadness, homesickness, uncertainty, feelings of being overwhelmed, not enough time to see everyone & do everything....and many more.<br />
And there are all those thoughts & feelings about leaving my HOME, my friends, my sweet kitties, my bed. To spend 8 weeks living in a different bed, home, city...enjoying sharing all that Jesus is & has done. All the time hoping I don't forget where I am, who I am with & what I've just said & what I hope to say.<br />
I always struggle with the word "furlough"...I looked it up once & learned that it means "relieved" of duty. Yet we use that same word to describe a missionary returning to their home country. For me it doesn't feel much like "time off".<br />
This trip I'll be in 4 states in the 1st four weeks. Four of my supporting churches have had a Lead Pastor change in the last year. Although I'm excited for each of these faithful servants of the Lord & the new adventure with Jesus they are embarking on...my own heart knows the reality of uncertainty...even more than that starting over. Building a new relationship with a new Pastor.<br />
Will they like me?<br />
Will they have the same commitment to the work here?<br />
Will they cut the churches financial support?<br />
<br />
But of all these the most challenging is having to start over again building a new meaningful relationship with the new Pastor. The hardest thing is trying to establish a significant connection in which you/me feel known.<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing many of you very soon!<br />
<br />
I'm attaching an article that I think does an excellent job expressing what I've attempted to share here.<br />

Living abroad has filled my life with so many blessings, adventures & enriched me with amazing relationships. But there has been a cost...the reality that all my nieces were born since I've been here & my nephew was 2 when I left. I've done my best to try to be in touch & involved in their lives but there just hasn't been much face time. So, you can imagine my mix of emotions when my niece Reilly asked if she could come to visit for 6 weeks.<br />

Of course I was excited...but what if she doesn't really like me? Or we don't get along? Will I be able to keep her "entertained"?<br />
It didn't take long for me to realize that my fears, though very real, were ill founded. We had a <br />
wonderful time really getting to know one another. I treasure the time & the opportunity to share my amazing world. The only down side was that my hip was acting up & I was in a lot of pain. But we managed to do & see everything.<br />

About the 4 week mark I thought that Reilly might like to meet your relatives in Northern Sweden. I tested the water with my cousin & she came back with a heartfelt welcome to both of us. I was thinking that I would just send Reilly but it had been so long (more than 25 years) since my last visit that I decided to cease the opportunity to go on an adventure together.<br />
Even though the trip originally was intended for Reilly, I think that the Lord planned it for me. It is hard to describe, but it was like a healing balm to my soul. Being together with "BIG" family was just what the doctor order for me. So much had changed since my last visit, yet somethings remained the same...Family! <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/re5eqgla9rc31d1/Reilly%27s%20Big%20Adventure.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click to see the Pictures</a><br />
Being in Maria's mom's home was like going to my grandmother's. The same decor, food, atmosphere... I was home. Seeing my grandmother's brother, Martin & his wife, Ingrid was a particularly special gift. My grandma has been gone more than 20 years now so it was a miracle. I got to meet Maria's 3 daughters & their families, attend the youngest daughter's handball match. As well as, spend time with old friends.<br />
It was like going home...especially now that my mom is gone..."home" is a bit more illusive.<br />
<br />
I will be blessed to have 2 of Maria's daughters for a visit in September.<br />

Family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFEQB-c_ZrSy_jgLG3InebjCWkpBWAfiVwJe8BYfO2rVzbnrAOlQ9Km0yjsUNH93E_Z2eGGy6XDWXWuwEwCq4rhyNUABH8NjGPOj7rVypp30Nv2oO9BGGlub-gy0U5uDf82_MEw/s1600/DSC_0203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1063" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFEQB-c_ZrSy_jgLG3InebjCWkpBWAfiVwJe8BYfO2rVzbnrAOlQ9Km0yjsUNH93E_Z2eGGy6XDWXWuwEwCq4rhyNUABH8NjGPOj7rVypp30Nv2oO9BGGlub-gy0U5uDf82_MEw/s200/DSC_0203.JPG" width="132" /></a>I'm always amazed by just how strong the bonds of family are. As a School Counselor I often was interjected into some of the most unhealthy families & yet the members were devoted to those ties regardless how unhealthy they were. I guess it is the most basic need of belonging & the family is the 1st place where we belong.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since my Mom passed away in May 2015, though I wouldn't say we were tight, I have had that gapping inner hole that I'm missing "Family". I'm now the oldest living member of our clan. I live on the other side of the world, with no biological family of my own. I have no regrets & I wouldn't change anything but that doesn't change the reality of my heart's longing for family connections.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUI-myPOCi4ERUQ9DbgmzQAlBrkC6YLI4NKg9sKk74-ABRS_Z7-yaCJpEq5sQETo5ekaatTVavFjIZDc1Twstxu7vfTXvAR2xhJdSfc2jTt70VpQ4tbNeoLHJukP1qGInRejTwxw/s1600/DSC_0207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1063" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUI-myPOCi4ERUQ9DbgmzQAlBrkC6YLI4NKg9sKk74-ABRS_Z7-yaCJpEq5sQETo5ekaatTVavFjIZDc1Twstxu7vfTXvAR2xhJdSfc2jTt70VpQ4tbNeoLHJukP1qGInRejTwxw/s200/DSC_0207.JPG" width="132" /></a>I'm so grateful that my Heavenly Father cares so deeply for all my needs, even when I'm not even able to verbalize them. Sometimes I don't even know that they are there or what those needs are. In the last year I have had guests at least 3 days every month except April. Most of them were church family, which isn't surprising, but Jesus also brought family into my world as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Warren & his wife Jill went on a Mediterranean cruise that dropped them off in Venice. This prompted me to take a road trip vacation. I mean how often does your brother get to Europe? Well, lets see I've been here 20+ years & this is the 1st time...so I went. I also took this opportunity to visit my friends in Europe who are like family.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't you just love it when Jesus plans your itinerary? Each stop was about 6 hours from the next one. The 1st stop was in Vienna with my dear friends & mentors. It was a great visit & uplifting fellowship. So much so, no pictures...oops.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then on to Venice...the road trip was so beautiful I wish you were all there. Or at the very least someone else was driving through the Italian Alps so I could take pictures of the Fall colors. It had been a long time since my last visit to Venice so it was great to see it with my brother. It was kind of funny because I usually have a hard time keeping up with him (he has LONG legs), but he had injured his leg on the ship and though I was limping due to a bad hip we were pretty equal. It's too bad they only had a couple of days in Venice before they were on their way back to the USA.<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/syuenuach0qq97z/Venice.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click to See The Many Colors of Venice</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From Venice to Bern Switzerland. I love spending time with my friends in Switzerland. I used to go a couple of times a year because Foursquare Church in Switzerland used to oversee the work in Poland. And since I spent so much time going back & forth to the USA for Mom there hasn't been much time or money to travel around Europe. To be honest I can't remember when the last time was when I was in Switzerland. I got to spend time with my good friends Elisabeth & Erika...just hanging out & being friends...going for walks...cooking together & of course lots of talking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Elisbeth also took me to see one of my Polish friends, Paulina who now lives in Switzerland. It was a great time to see her & encourage her in her new role as Mom. Plus, who doesn't love loving on new babies?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next stop on my journey was to see Nathalie & Francois in Strasbourg, France & to rejoice with them over their new building. God is so faithful to give us just what we need when we need it. I loved seeing their city & the blessing of their new home & church home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The finally stop in this European loop was with my long time friends (The Schroths, nearly 30 years) in Chemnitz. We have seen & experienced communism, its fall, the rise of a different world. I've walked with them through the childrearing years & we have both (Basia) have lamented over the challenges of caring for sick & dying Moms from a long distance. (They are coming next week for a visit)<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpgxb3i2wfg0o0f/European%20Adventure.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click to see the rest of the Trip</a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpgxb3i2wfg0o0f/European%20Adventure.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank"> </a>I love road trips & this 2.5 weeks really helped to recharge my batteries & bring much needed restoration to a weary soul. Thank you Jesus for sending my brother to Venice!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>It was an amazing time of fellowship, worship, prayer, knowing & being known by one another.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>I really want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who contributed to this amazing & unique event. And for all of you who faithfully prayed for me as I put this together. It was a much bigger challenge than I thought it would be but my heart broken state after my mom's passing took a much larger toll then I imagined.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I'm so grateful for all the help Linda Stapleton provided and the fantastic job she did hosting all of us in her "home town" of Liberec in The Czech Republic.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>We had the honor & blessing to have Joy Russell, Stacey Schaub & Christine Hall Brown as our core ministry team for the second time. It really helped to bring continuity to the week, while </b><b>quickly </b><b>creating a safe environment, ensuring that the women would feel comfortable sharing their stories.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Our goal for this event was to help the women to find their voices, give concert skills to assist them when they have opportunities to share. Each participant was given the possibility to make a video that they would be able to share with their network of support.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thanks to Bree Ann Lasher who so skillfully took the videos, photos & put them together into something amazing.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The ministry team was rounded off with Becky Castell, Marion Ingegneri & Cheryl Harris who so professionally & with such care equipped us with the skills necessary. Kathy Lasher provided the prayer support. We were blessed to have Debbie Roper, Melinda & Jim Scott from FMI.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>We worshipped, learned, overcame personal challenges, each person had opportunity to share their story & be prayed for, as well as, we covered each person of our group that was absent. Many of us found their voices again. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ec5bjgmnbglbuzu/Fellowship.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click here to see how we Fellowshipped!</a> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thanks so much for investing in us! You are helping to build a strong community among us, as well as, ensuring that we are at our very best mentally, spiritual, & relationally.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b>One of the main goals of these retreats is for the hostess to share her world. For the rest of us to get to know their people, places, culture & how history has impacted the people of the place where they serve.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Here are some photos from our time at Herrenhut the place where modern missions started <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/dq5tr8zo2e7lcdm/Hurrenhut.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click here to see Herrenhut</a> </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>We also like to spend time in the main city near our host location. It helps to give context to the work being done in the region.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>As expats we often miss out on things like birthdays & holidays. In many of these countries if you have a birthday your are to be responsible for organizing the party. This year's ministry team organized a birthday party for all of us <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/06yzxne367on58y/The%20Unbirthday.m4v?dl=0" target="_blank">Click here to see the party</a></b><br />

<b>Dispelling the Darkness - Awakening Europe</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is something that has been on my heart for about a decade. I am so grateful & blessed to have so many pastors & friends that believe in me. You all eagerly jumped in with both feet together with me. You connected your missionaries, you prayed with knowledge, you partnered with them as they sought God for the funds to make the trip. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please continue to pray for all who will be attending that the Lord would continue to keep them & their families safe. There have already been a number of situations where either the missionary or a member of her family has had a health issue. Most people will be coming by plane but 3 will be traveling by car.</div>

I will attempt to keep you updated throughout the week on this website.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It will probably be mostly pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But like "they" say... a picture is like a thousand words.</div>

She conceptualized a gathering of young leaders from countries throughout Europe to learn how to work more effectively with children & youth. To communicate better & more positively with one another.

Susan proved to be a great addition to the team.<br />
After the 10 days of intensive training with 22 people we knew something special had transpired, but where would it go next? How would/could this continue?<br />
<br />
Since that time the group has remained in contact through a private page on Facebook.<br />
In March, Susan & I were asked to go to Timisoara Romania to teach a one day workshop to the English teachers of the city. Who would have known that more than 120 teachers would give up their Saturday to come hear us. The response was amazing! The invitation(s) are there to return & continue the training. Again...When? What exactly is to be taught?<br />

For me the greatest miracle of it all is to see how Jesus comes & sets people free when I teach these workshops...even in the secular setting.<br />
<br />
He is truly the TRUTH! And the TRUTH sets us FREE. And who the Son sets FREE is FREE indeed!<br />

<li>I now have an amazing relationship with my brother. We never had much of a chance to know each other as adults before Mom's illness. Since then, we have been room mates, we've laughed, we cried, moved Mom 2 major times. Now we talk nearly once a week :) I look forward to talking to him.</li>
<li>I've had the joy of seeing my Mom happy in her Assisted Living Home & her current Adult Family Home. I have had fun taking her to movies & shopping. And most recently being her own personal shopper...never thought that was a skill I had. </li>
<li>I've watched the far reaching arm of my Mom's relationships & how much so many people really love her. I've also had the joy of some of them telling me that I have done a good job in caring for mom. </li>
<li>I'm incredibly blessed to have so many friends of my own & people from my church that have loved me by loving my mom.</li>

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was in the US in April. At that time there were some issues around some pressure sores that mom had. After talking with every doctor I could find, in the end Mom was accepted into the Evergreen Hospice program. Before returning to Poland, we were able to put on a party for mom at Vineyard Park where she was living. Some 30 people came to celebrate Mom. Mom's sister Aunt Patty was able to be there, along with two of my cousins from California & one from Spokane. </div>
<div>
The weekend following the party Mom was able to move to her new home at a wonderful Adult Family Home where she is getting great care. She said that she has never been so well cared for. </div>
<div>
She looks pretty good but you can tell that she is getting weaker.</div>

Which is why, after the Missionary Women's Retreat that I'm hosting the end of the week I will be returning to Seattle for a month.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Well, today I'm sitting in my living room in Nowy Targ but in the last 6 months it feels like I've been all over the globe. Close but not quite.<br />
I was in the US for a month at Christmas. Another month in April & I leave for yet another month in July. Most of which is related to my Mom's deteriorating health.<br />
I've made a couple of trips to Budapest. And one trip to Timisoara, Romania. I've had opportunities to share in Poland as well, with the Baptists, the Catholic community in Krakow, and the Church of God.<br />

After dropping them at their river cruise I took the opportunity to go visit my good friend Elisabeth in Bern Switzerland.<br />
On my way home I got to see Linz, Austria through the eyes of the Foursquare pastor's there. I love getting to know a new place their the experiences & lives of the people who have history in that place. It gives the buildings & landscapes a voice.<br />

Is it BIG enough to partner with God to build an ARK?<br />
Do you believe that God's economy has no recession?<br />
What about ... the Greater the need for God to show up the Greater the Miracle?<br />
<br />
These are all words meant to encourage me as I stick my neck out in faith to share... a hope, and a vision.<br />
<br />
Many of you know that I have had on my heart for a looooong time the desire to open a cafe as a means to reach the community. It seems that that time has come to step out in boldness. As most steps of faith it seems a bit crazy and almost premature. But in this land where pessimism and doubt are around every corner...a miracle has occurred. People who I am in relationship with have come forward with encouragement, optimism, and desire to help in this venture of HOPE.<br />

STRANGE....POSITIVELY ...STRANGE...<br />
<br />
Why "The Garden"? <br />
The name of the church in Nowy Targ is "Tree of Life". We have felt from the very beginning that we needed to be a place where the fruit of God's character grows...like fruit on a tree. As each individual bears the good fruit of the Kingdom it will product a sweet fragrance that will attract others. A big part of that fruitfulness is service...meeting the needs of others. Although the actual number of individuals in the church is small, we have been serving children, families, women and youth more and more. We need a place...a GARDEN for our TREE to be planted. Not a place to have church meetings but a place for the CHURCH TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.<br />
<br />
So, here it goes...<br />
<br />
I'm asking you to join with us in prayer for the acquisition of a building in Nowy Targ for the purpose of reaching the community with HOPE. <br />

difficult to win the right to be heard…or even exist. The small group of young,
faithful, believers that I serve have eagerly joined me with a BIG vision to
reach our community with hope. We have a desire to create a center of HOPE
where the church will serve the community. There are 4 aspects to this center<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we are believing for. It is vacant & in a great location for what we would
want to do. There is a “strip” park down one side of the building: 2
playgrounds for small children, a basketball court & a skate park.
There are 11 blocks of apartments that are on either side of the building &
a technical high school across the street. The estimated cost of the basement,
plus 2 floor building, and grounds is <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">$</span>250,000 plus remodel . </span></div>

For me, it isn't vacation if I do it alone or with a group of strangers. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to travel many places but a place without meaningful relationships to share it with is just a place.<br />

It isn't that far from me...a mere 30 min flight from Krakow but I had never been there before. The time in Budapest was a great opportunity to get to know the people on the team without responsibilities. I was also able to further develop my relationship with Dave and Mindy Sebens missionaries there. I'm looking forward to working more closely together in the future with my "neighbors".<br />

It was a bit stressful as my ticket had been changed 3 times by the time I actually boarded the plane home. Coupled with that my home church was sending the 1st short-term mission team since they became my home church. From the time I set foot on Polish soil I had 3 weeks until the team of "11.5" arrived.<br />
I have had lots of experience with short-term teams....some good, some not so good and everything in between. I hate to admit but I have been responsible for teams that cover the whole spectrum. That being said...<br />

This team was an amazing blessing and continue to be. They listened to every word of advise and experience I could share. It is the 1st time in a very long time that I had visitors that everyone who met them eagerly look forward to the next such visit.<br />
Although the team was here only 4 days, everyone of those days was full of preparation, sharing of their lives, prayer walks, encouragement for me and others, ....and.....a BIG St. Patrick's Day Party.<br />

As a result my little fellowship of 4 adults and one child drew a crowd of 85+ people. Most of whom are newcomers to a personal relationship with Jesus and a life that can be both fun and devoted to God. <br />
<br />
We had lots of GREEN....food, punch, clothes, decorations....<br />
<br />
The team came prepared to put on an event...<br />
It was like having an event in a box...<br />
It really was an encouragement to the church as it wasn't "WORK", rather a fun time, with the message of hope being shared and a great time to build relationships.<br />
<br />
Thank you EASTSIDE<br />

Random Acts of Kindness ... and Adopt a Road programs are common place. But in other parts of the world those are the responsibility or have been the responsibility of the government. The current world financial crisis has strained those resources that once paid individuals to "care" for the environment and the individual needs of the most needy. Resulting in unmet needs and societies that have little or no experience with volunteerism.<br />

They have organized workshops for children, youth, women, and whole family. One such activity was to clean up around Lake Czorstyn. These amazing young adults: solicited funds, prizes, advertising, community partnership, and participates from all age groups.<br />
It was truly a proud moment for the whole community when they counted the more than 200 bags of trash that were collected.<br />

I realize that they are just trying to get a picture of my life as a missionary. Sometimes it is difficult to describe because I don't live in a jungle or work in an orphanage. My days vary so much that it is difficult for me to find a rythym. But the best answer I can give is that I do whatever my hand finds to do that extends the love of Jesus and brings hope into the community.<br />

I played some sports in school...but I was more of the encourager than the "star". Like most of us, we have grown up with at the very least a pick-up game of baseball in the neighborhood or that occassional trip to Safeco field to root for the home team.<br />

It is amazing how challenging it can be to explain a game that "no one" has ever seen played. Especially in a foriegn language. <br />

I am always moved by the awe on each face when they hit the ball for the very 1st time or the mystery of a mitt and that it is worn on the left hand.<br />
Some might ask what does baseball have to do with extending the Gospel? HOPE....<br />
Hope that you can do anything...<br />
Hope that people will care about others even if they aren't paid...<br />
