We had held one of our many leadership seminars just a few weeks before. Jim and Betsy Hayford had come to speak to some of the local pastors, whom we had gathered together. It was a wonderful time, and everyone learned much.
I was sitting at a table in my office, listening to the tapes from the seminar. I was trying to glean what I could from the time they spent with us, and hopefully, incorporate it into my life and ministry.
Sometime during my listening and absorbing, I experienced a “significant moment.” (It was Joseph Garlington, whom I heard use that wonderful phrase.)
