A quiet day

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I'm in the midst of the final details for my plans for this new year. It has been both a time of excitement and of anxiety.

I'm excited with the possibilities that my involvement in the emerging movement towards Social Entrepreneurship provides. While it is an old concept it has been rediscovered in Europe and Asia.

A social entrepreneur identifies and solves social problems on a large scale. Just as business entrepreneurs create and transform whole industries, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss in order to improve systems, invent and disseminate new approaches and advance sustainable solutions that create social value.

While at the First Summit for Social Entrepreneurs in Hong Kong last November I saw and met people who are loving their neighbors and accomplishing the works of the Kingdom of God as proclaimed by Jesus.

I sense that this will become a new trend in this "change seeking" world and I have the opportunity to help lead the way for this among youth in Asia.

Today was a day of silence and meditation. It was an enriching time and I was blessed with a beautiful sunset. Enjoy the moment with me!

Is Social Entrepreneurship a vehicle to show Christ to a spiritually starving people?
Is it be a by product of showing Christ to spiritually starving people? Should we show them Christ first? What comes first?
When I am physically starving, do I want physical food or something else?
When I am spiritually starving, do I want spiritual food or something else?
Does the emerging church believe the Bible is in-errant? Will it satisfy spiritual hunger? Or will social entrepreneurship satisfy spiritual hunger?
So much to figure out and know what is the balance.
