Re-Start in 2012


As this New Year begins, I choose to Re-Start my life. 

Re-Start.  “To start anew.”  Much like rebooting a computer system, halting the operating system and then starting it up again so it can begin fresh.

So to, for me, 2012 is a Re-Start.  All that has happened for the first 60 years and 42 days is remembered and from that certain areas of focus become clearer for me.

I re-start my life by letting go of some things:
  • The excessive worry about finances 
  • The distractions from my focus on my passionate work of coaching 
  • The clutter I allow in my life.
In re-starting my life, my main emphasis is on:
  • My life with my wife Betty and sharing new experiences together 
  •  My health, though sleep, exercise and healthy eating
  • My passionate work of coaching clergy globally.
My Re-Start is prompted by God’s continuing call upon my life to be in ministry to others.  I was privileged in November, 2011, to participate in the Grubb Institute’s leadership event entitled Passion,Purpose and Potency Conference in England.  There I experienced the clarity that at this time my sacred calling and passion is coaching and developing clergy leaders throughout the world.

So, I begin 2012 with this as my ministry focus:
  1. Coaching clergy leaders 
  2.  Training coaches 
  3.  Co-creating a Global Clergy Leadership InitiativeEmpowering 21st Century Clergy Leaders through Coaching & Community
And, always being open to where the Spirit may lead me.
