Keeping Up With Jones: The Lonnie Jones Podcast Adventure

The problem with problems is that we don't like it when people point out ours.  But if we listen, accept responsibility and act appropriately we won't end up with a refusal to change or the incorrect change.  In fact we end up with the correct change.

Life lived is life learned.  Every experience has facts, concepts and applications.  These are stories from the eclectic life of Lonnie Jones, Licensed Professional Counselor, Minister, SWAT Team Chaplain, Outdoor Enthusiast and Quixotic Jedi.

Loosing my temper has never been an issue.  I've always known right where it was and kept in a polished holster.  Anger is not a sin but can lead to sin.  Anger is not always destructive but can destroy things you aren't even mad at.  Careful how you aim that particular emotion.

It was not much to look at.  It had no redeeming qualities but it was a very special old Chevrolet. That old car would take me to Backwoods Camp, be my ride during my first two years as a youth minister and eventually take me to Harding.  The only thing that made it special...was that I acted like it was special.

I was shocked by his response. The shocking part of it was the fact that he could retain his composure and admit he had been wrong. I guess that one of the qualities that allowed him to be a general.

I don't have the gift of languages.  I struggle to speak English much less Spanish or some non-native language...but I did learn to speak the common dialect - as in the value of finding out what we have in common rather than focus on how we differ or what we don't understand.

I like being nice but it is easier to be confrontational.  I placate myself with phrases like "assertive but not aggressive".  Sometimes it is more important to live up to our covenants rather than just fulfilling our contracts.
