I haven’t posted too much this week. I’ve been attending the Willow Creek [Leadership Summit](http://www.gospelcom.net/growingleadership/leadershipedge/summit%5F2002%5Fseminar.html?ref=dashhouse.com) since Thursday. I also wrote a [university](http://dce.uwaterloo.ca/de/index.html?ref=dashhouse.com) exam today, on top of some other chores. It’s been crazy.

I almost didn’t want to attend this year’s Summit (conferenced out), but it was worth it – especially the last day. Some highlights:

> "When in revelation has God ever given an easy assignment? Never. God never gives a leader an easy task." (John Ortberg)

> "People want to know, how honest, how true are you? If all we offer is more solutions, people aren’t interested. They know there are no easy answers." (Dan Allender)

> "As a leader, my primary task is to live the Gospel before you. I’m marked, marred, and being remade." (Dan Allender)

> "The more you tell your failure in appropriate ways, the more God’s character can be revealed." (Dan Allender)

> "I would be a seriously abbreviated leader if I only used by logical, rational brain." (Claudia Kennedy)

> "Worse than a bad decision is a bad decision made slowly." (Kirbyjon Caldwell)

> "Resistance, complaints, inertia, will never be overcome by a passionless leader." (John Ortberg)

> "A church can drift from mission to complaint management over time." (John Ortberg)

> "If someone has an emotional cup that’s empty, try to fill it. If it can’t be filled, try diversionary and distractive activities." (Claudia Kennedy)

> "A low tolerance for boredom does not constitute a strategy for leadership." (John Ortberg)

> "The best thing you can give others is a soulish you." (Bill Hybels)

The song that connected most – [Enough](http://www.willowcharts.com/willowcharts/WCHProduct.asp?arrangementid=1380&ref=dashhouse.com), written by Gary Ferguson, and especially appropriate for those leaders (like me) who feel driven to be and do more than we should, often for unhealthy reasons:

> *My best is all you ask of me*  
> *I don’t need more than you provide for me*  
> *I’ll do the best I can with what I have*  
> *And what I have will be enough for me*
