The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep
through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour,
some heavenly blessings! --Henry Ward Beecher

The Cost of Mediocrity | November 4, 2014
Recently I wrote a blog on an idea introduced by Thomas Friedman who has said “average
is over.” His thesis is simply this: when excellence is only a keystroke away on our mobile
devices, “average is over.” The sources of excellent content are within reach of many people
around the world now. This competition means that educators and many others cannot
settle for average any more. We must capitalize on those things we can do better than
anyone else, and we cannot afford to settle for “pretty good.”
Some readers of this blog seemed to read in my comments that I was encouraging a form of elitism
- that I was arguing that only the greatest pulpiteers in the tallest steeples and only the best known
educators in the grandest ivory towers could now compete for the hearts and minds of people. In fact,
nothing could be further from the truth.
If anything, the digital revolution has actually leveled the playing field. On one hand, it makes it
possible for virtually anyone with great ideas to find an audience. It means that even the most remote
communities can, in effect, find the best spots on the digital highway.
On the other hand, and perhaps more important, the digital offerings of excellent content also
and unintentionally raise the value of face-to-face relationships, especially if we are mindful of the
opportunity their competition represents. The online competitors can actually spur us on to ensure that
the education we provide and the ministries we perform are the very best possible. There are lots of
things only real flesh-and-blood face-to-face communities can provide than virtual experiences can only
approximate. In many ways, the more intimate and direct the human relationships, the better and the
more competitive.

Advent Angel Week
December 1-5
YOU (students, faculty, administrators, staff,
spouses, children, etc.) are invited to participate in
"Advent Angel Week," December 1-5.
If you choose to participate, you will receive the
name of another participant for whom you will
become a secret "angel." On December 1, 2, 3, &
4, you will anonymously place small gifts or treats
– e.g., candy, a note, ornament – in the person's
mailbox (or place on their desk, have someone
else deliver to them, etc.). On Friday, December 5,
bring a final (larger?) gift and reveal your identity
(perhaps by personally delivering the gift). We are
requesting that you limit your spending to $15.00
maximum for the entire week.
To aid your angel in selecting
treasures, please take a moment
to answer the following
questions:
My favorite color is:
My favorite flavor (or food) is:
Things I collect:
My interests/hobbies are:
Other Suggestions:
All interested angels should give their name
(and answers to questions) to Melisa Scarlott
([email protected]; ext. 427) by end-of-day
Wednesday, November 19. You will receive your
"assignment" by end-of-day Thursday,
November 20 (giving you TWO shopping
weekends!).
On December 2, 2014, Louisville Presbyterian
Theological Seminary will participate in
#GivingTuesday to encourage support for the
Seminary’s Annual Fund. In the same way that retail
stores take part in Black Friday and online shippers
participate in Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday allows
people to leverage social media and to participate in a
national movement dedicated to giving.
