Inspiration Revisited
My last post on inspiration needs some follow-up, I think. My intention was to speak to inspiration with regards to skill-sets and art. People I look to when I am trying to discover how better to do something (like make web sites, sing and lead a band, or preach). But there is one category that I don’t believe falls under art or skill, because none of these traits have anything to do with the skill or abilities of these men, but rather the Grace of God. But they are still an inspiration, and I wanted to give some honor where honor is due.
Godliness:
In no particular order:
- Dave Bovenmeyer (his emotional awareness, and manner with people are both something I aspire to, and am sorely lacking in)
- Tim Borseth (this man embodies the word faith and his boldness in evangelism is a model for me)
- Brad Barret (his example as a husband and father, and his obvious growth in humility give me hope)
- Gary Harris (A gentle giant of a man, his humble leadership as a husband, father, and leader of men give me good direction)
- Paul Johnson (his faithfulness and humility as a brother teach me)
Amen to that! These men have all been Spiritual Giants in the way of fathers to me… in their own way! Praise God for putting them in our lives!
