KINDLE Servant Leaders

KINDLE Strand: Stewardship of Self

Practice 10: Stay Connected- For social health, see the mutual conversation and consolation of other Christians.

I love basketball—and it’s hard not to love John Wooden when you love basketball. He died last week at the age of 99. Great coach, but as I heard one person say, “great man”.

This wonderful little piece by Rick Reilly about the love letters Wooden wrote to his wife on the 21st day of each month is powerful (although I do wish he would have mentioned Jesus somewhere in the part about not being afraid to die). Servant leaders stay connected to others. There’s a great nod to Stewardship of Self here, too, when Wooden mentions “balance” as being the second most important word after “love” in the English language.
