Shelter of the Most High

Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Worldview Questions

Four questions for analyzing any worldview:

1) Where do we come from?

2) What's wrong with the world?

3) How do we fix it?

4) Based on our answers to these questions, how should we then live our lives?

The Wisdom of Crowds - by James Surowiecki

Large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant.

Key attributes include:

1) Diversity of ideas
2) Independent thought
3) decentralization
4) aggregation of inputs

Examples: Markets, where price is the decision. Democratic elections, where election result is the decision.

Question: How do you determine the value of the outcome of an election?

Diligent in his Calling

"Diligent in his Calling" is the inscription on Josiah Franklin's tombstone. The elder Franklin often admonished his son Benjamin by quoting Proverbs 22:29:

"Seest thou a man diligent in his calling, he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men."

I believe that God created everyone with a purpose, a calling, a life's work.
