tom – hey great to hear from you here. thanks for commenting. i am wondering how you found this blog? oh yes, just another story that makes my heart sick. i would love to hear more.

lisa – 7 steps…boy do those books sell! i love that that is what you were drawn to about jesus, “God relating to people who were confused, who didn’t know who they were yet and didn’t feel like they fit in.” that is one of my favorite parts about him & it definitely doesn’t fit with the typical leadership models, that is for sure.

I was at the library today and a friend came up to me with a book about 7 steps to a happy you…or something like that. I sometimes wish there were 7 very well laid out steps that would grab happiness for me. But then again…maybe that would be boring. I guess in retrospect, I’ve had some good laughs over the lessons I had to learn, as well as some cathartic tears.

I liked your breakdown of some of Jesus’ leadership ideas. I remember as a 13 year old girl really falling in love with the idea of God relating to people who were confused. Somehow I connected Jesus’ leadership traits with a belief that he understood people who didn’t know who they were yet and didn’t feel like they fit in. I’m glad I made that connection. I still like to think of him that way….when I think of him.

Kathy: Thank you for this excellent, transparent, and truly well spoken blog entry. It gave me hope and encouragement. I spent the last 2.5 years loving the poor, marginalized, and disenfranchised people that society and more often then not the church has treated like throw-aways or too-far-gones for even God to transform. They were resident of a residential motel in one of the poorest and toughest urban areas of the county I live in. Then 3 months ago the motel closed, plus I left an institutional church I had been part of partially because the leadership was becoming less and less like Jesus. So again thank you it is nice to see I’m not the only one who thinks this way and attempts to walk this way. So for such a long comment.
