Heroic Venture

I stayed up late again last night. After watching the season finale of Tyrant on FX I returned to my reading for TUMI. Read pages 96-109 of Elders & Leaders, then read the first chapter of The Heroic Venture by Don Allsman. I've read a lot about heroic journeys so the title already had my attention.

The book is a fast read, so I kept turning pages. I got through the first chapter, then noticed the Questions for Discussion at the end of the chapter. I must be a nerd because I enjoyed the questions. They helped me put some of the jewels I had read in the chapter into the context of my own life. Because I want to be better, to give service that leaves an impact, questions that help me contextualize what I learn are like valued jewels. When I come across them, I get amped. Today I will knock a big chunk out of this book. Someday I'll have to thank Don Allsman in person for writing it.
