What I Value….

September 19th, 2005 · 5 Comments · 13 views

As we are interviewing candidates for our teaching pastor, this question has come up alot….

And here are my answers.

They in no way are endorsed by Grace Church and probably will lessen your chances of getting hired…anywhere.

I value questions more than answers - thanks marko.
blue jeans over dockers
coffee over power breakfast/lunch
raw over produced
stumbling over smooth
rock over liberace praise music
failure over safety
risk over status quo
asking forgiveness over never offending anybody
guitars over organs, pipes or otherwise
abandonment in worship over proper
erring on the side of grace over having the right answer
giving the last 10% over playing it close to the vest
changing my mind over ‘consistency’
adding to my list (or subtracting) over stability

What do you value?

    Yeah, you’re probably right. They’ll ahve to learn the hard way like every body else.
    I hate to tell you this but…….you’re probably the only………..let’s just say “non-teenager” who read’s my site and………i like the green on green……..and i’ll probably leave it up just to annoy you….either that or change my whole scheme (hehehe)
    Yeah, i definitely did not buy “the 3 disc newly released DVD” Didn’t even know there was one. I actually just borrowed the movie because my mom has this thing against movies about the undead………..
    But i did have the 2 disk thing and i liked the special features. And i’m glad to see you appreciate Pirates. I’m pretty stoked about the new one that’s comin out next year. I so hope it’s good.
