Our ministry is the bowl underneath the cup that represents our own spiritual life. If we wish to see our ministry being filled, it must be through the overflow of our own personal walk with God.

Cliche
As cliche as it sounds to open with where I am and what I am doing, I believe it fits the scene quite nicely; you will understand shortly.
Amos’ Southend, music venue in Charlotte, NC, listening to one angst-filled, misinformed group of teenagers destroying one aesthetic I thoroughly enjoy: music. I have visited this venue several times, and paid good money to hear some of my favorite bands...

“In leadership, success is succession.”

Devotion and Harry Potter
Scouring around Tumblr, one finds several “devoted” pages. Some are devoted to sports, others to politics, literature, but the one that I keep stumbling upon are these Harry Potter devoted Tumblrs. I do not follow any Harry Potter tags; I do not search them out, they simply keep on popping up.
