Today we walk up to the front of the church were the conference is and there stands an elephant next to the heater. Yep a real live elephant trying to stand warm in the cold temperatures, here we are in Dallas and it is only in the 40s where it is normally in the 70s.
So back to the elephant, the first topic of today was “The elephant in amongst us, Betrayal”. Betrayal is the topic that no one really wants to discuss, but we all go through it many times in our lives. What you do after being betrayed determines your character.
The last session of the day by a different speaker was “Can you see the elephant?” He did not know that there was going to be a live elephant on site today so that was really God to tie the theme together around something as unique as an elephant. This session was about as leaders we need to make our selves smaller some times to get out of the picture so you can see the elephant that is the potential of those you are leading.
As we left tonight, the elephant was gone and only a few strands of straw remained, but the mental picture will remain and I for one will look at elephants different from now on.
