Instead of my usual classroom duties today, I met with a team of staff members from our school. Our assignment was to brainstorm ways to help communication and leadership relationships at our school. The morning session was a little frustrating as we danced around the critical issues that need addressing; but in the afternoon, we were able to cut to the chase and construct some steps for improvement.
This evening I led the junior high group at our church, as the youth pastor was standing in line to see the midnight showing of Star Wars with high school students. We played a Star Wars dodgeball game and studied what the Bible teaches about angels, demons and the devil. It was a good reminder to me of the reality of these spiritual beings, because our culture interprets events and ideas soley in terms of physical and psychological dynamics.
Maybe our staff should play dodgeball too.
