#21 I would be connected throughout my ministry with different kinds of people I’d never related to before - mentors who already lived in that field were able to help me significantly.  I would pray for them to come into my life - God would reveal them, and they would always take me to a level above what I had even dreamed of. 

#22   As a newcomer to a field with people intrigued by a “pastor” being involved in some of the things I was they would often try to get me to leave the pastorate to do something else.  It took time, but I began to realize, what made it all unique was, that I was a pastor working with diplomats doing people to people diplomacy, or businessmen doing development projects as a pastor - that was the purple cow.  Had I left my gifting, I would have lost my uniqueness. 

#23 When you are a purple cow - you get more opportunities than you can humanly respond to - just be careful you don’t get the purple spots erased from some who want your milk!

#24 The future is the moment.

#25 God taught me to pull a heavy wagon as a little kid having to pull my brothers and sisters - I was too big to ride!

#26 True worship transcends all styles and formats and traditions.  If I’m worshipping in Spirit and Truth I can do it anywhere, anytime, anyway.

#27 Never be tied to your time and era, understand it AND transcend it.  Some men know the times and respond to them.  Some men know the time keeper and it makes them eternal in their response.

#28 When God makes you fertile - he sends lots of seeds - and then lots of water - and then lots of fruit - be ready.

#29 Religious work always cheapens, slows, and stunts Kingdom work.  Religion is about me and what I believe - God’s Kingdom is beyond me. 

#30 When I was in my 20’s and 30’s I wanted answers.  Now, I love the adventure of watching and observing the mystery.
