Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Feb 27, 2011. Origen, "On Prayer".

Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. May 28, 2011. Potentially) on going thoughts about social sector leadership. You can add more of your own examples- there is no shortage. But once more I ask, how is that different from the business sector?

The following video clip by Francis Chan was emailed to me a couple of weeks back and has had me thinking. Chan's message in the video reminds me of a memorable line from C.S. Lewis' Narnia books, which warns that while the lion Aslan is good "he's not a tame. You say, "God is so much greater than you, who are you to judge his choices or actions?

Time was, when a poet sat upon a stool in a public place and mused in the sight of men." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. Mar 1, 2010.
