Evendays

I spent the week doing assessments of students who are in their last semester at the Glion Hotel School located about 40 minutes away. They’ll receive their BBA in six months. My friend (boss for a week) is a partner in a consulting firm that handles the orientation for students’ future employment, counsel based on interviews and psycho-metrics. I’ve told you about it before. It’s a great opportunity for me to make good money real fast in a legal way. What came across this time more than ever was the difference between self-confidence and arrogance. I’d always thought the two were difficult to distinguish. Not so. The arrogant no longer sees himself as a learner. Pride certainly does precede the fall. Even in our confidence in Christ, we must see ourselves as learners… Of God (in his fullness)… Of the Bible… Of others. Continually observing. Continually asking questions. – Loaned Blue Like Jazz to one of the consultants with whom I’ve spent time conversing about God. In his hotel room that first night, he read the first 50 pages. He came up to me the next morning and told me he’d learned that HE was the problem. (Does THAT ring any bells?) Enjoy the weekend.
