even though it is a great vision, it does leak. which sucks, but that is us being human. we need the constant reminder of why we do things.

I have been through each time you mention - buying into a vision, losing the vision, getting it back, getting new vision. (How many times can I mention vision?) Vision in any format will fade, but it can be renewed. My similar one is about the Holy Spirit - we need to be filled because we leak. Jars of clay, as referenced in the Bible, have a certain amount of porosity which in english means they leak slowly. It needs to be refilled. I should have done a blog about this :-) Is this being posted again for several reasons?
