I am in Brasil right now doing some training with Christain school educators and doing some lecturing and seminars with the faculty at our Seminary here. I will be here until the middle of September.
I will be picking up my quest with Strengths when I return. The plans remain as I indicated with using Strengths as a key self awareness process for those in the class - and hoping to grow the process into a full grad program focus. I spoke with our new Dean about this idea and he was very open. I will be putting some pieces together and in writing as soon as I get back so I will forward those to you. You are the expert Doc!!! I hope you and I can connect and really talk some things through. I am on Sabbatical and plan to have this be a part of my focus in preparing for classes in the Spring when I return to the classroom again.
Look forward to talking with you -- I will be in touch as soon as I get back.
Thanks for staying in touch. I want to find out more about your plans and what you are doing as well. I went up to APU and met with Paul Kaak - encouraging. Great to think about connecting with you and folks like Paul and others at APU.
You take care --
Grace and Peace
I recall that you mentioned that you were planning on doing some work in integrating strengths into a grad class on spiritual formation, and I just wanted to check in with you to learn more about what you're doing and to wish you well.
It was a gift to meet you in Omaha in June!
