A friend was recently telling me about a job interview and how you always get asked to share your greatest weakness. As a manager I've heard people answer that question by saying, "I work too hard."or "I care too much." Those aren't weaknesses. Those aren't even answers.
When I am asked that question I know immediately how to answer. I fail to communicate often enough about events. A wise man once told me, "When you get tired of hearing information, the people around you are just starting to hear what you are saying." As a pastor I'm surrounded by activity and most of it is really good stuff. The kind of stuff I want everyone to know about.
When I look at how Jesus lived and led I notice he consistently stayed on topic and communicated clearly. Even when those around him tried to change the conversation Jesus brought them back to the good news of the kingdom of God. I've got a lot to learn. Thankfully God works best where we are weak.
