    Day 13 - The Circus Act

    Jumping on a plane with four kids for a month is a sight to see. People must be able to feel the intensity of the parents as Carie and I think through all the details it takes for such an adventure, then wield our way across the terminals to arrive at our final destinations. The clothing, travel equipment, and items to keep the kids attention while on a plane are only a few of the things that need to be thought through. But here’s the rest of the story...

    Day 12 - A Day at the Beach

    This got me thinking that everyone’s “Amazing” is someone else’s hard work. That movie that you loved and saw on IMAX last weekend? Someone’s Hard work. That painting in the museum that brought you to tears for its raw beauty? Someone’s hard work.

    Day Ten

    The music started playing, the worship leader beckoned everyone to get to their feet (in Spanish of course), and the female singer started belting out a Hillsong tune called “Not Today”.

    Day Eight

    In order to be most effective with any great idea, we must learn how to organize ourselves around ideas and not brands. Brands, in their organization always point back to the organization and keeping it alive. Ideas, if they are good ones, always point back to spreading those ideas without having to manufacture them. If they are good, they are good. No one has to tell others they are good. Good news is good news.

    I’m sure there are a ton of differences between the American culture and the Spanish (and in particular Valencia) culture, but I wanted to share a few of the glaring ones I noticed this week.

    Day Five

    Wonder leads to knowledge and then knowledge leads to wisdom. Unfortunately stale wisdom leads to the lack of wonder. It leads to control. Nothing keeps us from understanding how small we are like having control of everything in our world.

    Day four - You are good enough

    Sitting in a huge city like Valencia Spain and soaking in days at the beach with my family, I realized that what I was doing on an administrative level was so insignificant, I basically lied to myself over and over.
