Living Well requires WHITE SPACE! I have been thinking about a question I have heard a couple of times the past week: What is your ideal week? Of course, my ideal week would include white space time to think and reflect, EXAMEN my day, my interactions with people/coworkers and where I saw God; it would include some exercise and some reading.

Henry Cloud is one of my favorite teachers and authors. I began reading his books many years ago, and I now grab every new one he publishes as soon as it comes out.

I’m sending one of our staff couples to the SRS Fund-raising conference in Orlando this week. Hope you all enjoy the 70’s there…we were below zero this morning, and by the end of the week should have over a foot of snow on the ground.
In His service,
Jack

Thanks for reading Jack! Yes, Terry has done some good research and writing on this topic so I wanted to get her message out there. It is such a critical issue for us as leaders and fit well with my theme of Living Well. Hope you are enjoying the snow. We never see that around these parts!
