		<description><![CDATA[Because of my compulsive nature I&#8217;m consistently look for tendencies in behavior of different groups. Average verses top end comparison consistently catches my curiosities. Baseline comparisons are no exception. How the super stars connect as opposed to the average.

		<description><![CDATA[No one likes to think of themselves as common or average. In fact I have never asked someone &#8220;how they are&#8221; and had the response, &#8220;I&#8217;m just average.&#8221; Yet mediocrity is more common than commonsense. Most individuals are okay with mediocre skills, results, and experiences. But if most don&#8217;t think themselves mediocre or aspire to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know phrases like &#8220;deprecating people&#8221; may not be politically correct, however it is much less divisive than my original title. It is incredibly naïve to believe that these people will not derail your day, week, month or life. If you are committed to growth it is important to leave fantasy-land and be realistic.

As I go through my day without the upfront &#8220;I&#8217;m a pastor&#8221; disclosure I am finding life a little different. Is evangelism really the work of pastors?
