So you want to be a River?

So you want to be a River and not a Reservoir?

To be a member of a club or fraternity you often have to take the pledge!

Whereas, Rivers Not Reservoirs is definately not in the category of a club or fraternity
pledging to Be a River is about letting all that God has given and entrusted 
to me flow through me to others. In order to do this, 

I must first view others as more important than myself.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. 
Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
Philippians 2:3

I recently read a short article that appeared in the 
Christian Leadership Alliance's email/blog site 
by Wayne Pederson,  that spurred my thinking 
about taking the pledge to be a River. 

So will you join me in
TAKING THE PLEDGE



P - Priority. Give the other person top priority at the moment.

L - Listen and learn. Listen more than you talk.

E - Engage. Put aside distractions and fully engage.


D - Demonstrate. Do things, say things that build connection and trust.

G - Give generously. Be generous with time, gifts, resources, even lunch!

E - Enjoy.  Have fun together.  Do fun things that build connection.
