I captured this photo the same night I captured the previous photo (The Golden Minute). Kentucky weather has been wierd this year (yeah what’s new…) presenting some excellent moments for photographs. I committed the cardinal sin of not having my camera with me as a photographer the next morning. The perfect fog was overlaying this same area.
I’ve not seen the Golden Minute in a while but this evening it was perfect. I captured this photo and a few more on my to see Shannon. It’s a barn located on Catnip Road outside of Nicholasville, KY.
Too often, we as leaders get caught up in this idea of vision casting and honestly it is just a way to make ourselves feel good. More seriously, it is not as viable a tool due to our American understanding of vision. Our understanding of vision answers where and why but without direction and navigation it does not matter where and why if we cannot act on how.
Chazown, often translated as vision in hebraic scripture, is an important concept to consider when asking why leader’s matter. The catch is that english speaking people have lost the depth of chazown.
A leader’s passion is their catalyst for momentum. The larger the momentum the greater the impact. I identify two areas of passion from my life. The first is for what I am chasing and the second is with whom I am chasing. I chase after God because I believe He is the giver of life. My passion is two-fold. My passion is the direction I am headed in life and the people that are willing to pursue this direction with me. Passion must be aimed towards direction and towards followers.
