Tension

So, I am a dude that wares a lot of hats.
Husband, Dad, Pastor, Public Relations and yep! a bus driver!
With this portfolio comes tension.
Tension is healthy, tension is hard.
Like heat forming a metal. Tension forms my reactions.
I love being in a room where there is healthy tension. I am the one who will expose it. I don't like controversy, but, I do like to use it as a springboard to get to another level of communication and leadership.

When tension enters our life it will push at our limits at times. So I wrestle with it and use it for the good. As a dad its the tension of my boys. As a husband its the tension of communicating. As a pastor its the tension of leadership. As a bus driver its the tension of stupid drivers!! As a public relations dude its the tension of trying to connect a product to the buyer.

I don't pray for no tension. Why? Because with out tension there is no gravity. With out gravity we would all just float around.

I don't invite tension, but when it comes i use it and I try not to let it use me!

Oh yea! I do have one more hat. The hard hat. I ware it because of the tension of being a human.

Just a thought.....
