Daniel Goleman, a neuroscientist who popularized emotional intelligence, gives insight into mirror neurons, “Mirror neurons have particular importance in organizations, because leaders’ emotions and actions prompt followers to mirror those feelings and deeds. In other words, your actions, demeanor, and emotions, both good and bad, are contagious and impact learning. It’s called emotional contagion." (Charles Stone, If Jesus Gave A TedTalk)
Our emotions and actions, like excitement, stress, discouragement, or negativism, can catch on to others around us. As a leader and a communicator, I must always be aware of keeping my disposition and affect aligned with this Biblical principle: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)

After 40 years in full-time ministry, I try to see how the little things in life speak big things about God. This blog is an attempt to share with you the many ways I see the love of God in the ordinary things of life.
