Fuji? Moonshots?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I found a paperback book on the sale rack, a bit dog-eared, but still a good read. Thus began my relationship with <em>How Would You Move Mount Fuji?<\/em> by Richard Poundstone . (He\u2019s recently published <em>Are You Smart Enough to Work for Google?<\/em> but since I know the answer to that without reading it I haven\u2019t been tempted.) <em>How Would You\u2026<\/em> is about thinking outside the box and looks at some of the questions Microsoft used in interviewing prospective employees. With my limited math training I was soon out beyond my depth, but conceptually it fascinated me and was a good counterpoint to my life in Japan where following the rules, both written and unwritten, and fitting in with the group are strongly encouraged in both church and society. The book reminded me of my western intellectual heritage and reaffirmed that I\u2019m not necessarily stupid, immature, or crazy just because I have a different viewpoint than those around me.\u00a0 However, just about that time in our lives, sudden tragedy hit. The next few years were intense ones, focused on the daily challenges of living with loss and caring for self and family. During this stretch of time, the title question dimmed in my mind as a lingering memory of a curious puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The last few years have seen a new normal, thanks to God\u2019s healing, friends, and time. Instead of a constant focus on putting one foot ahead of the other and trying to remember to breathe, often I am able to hold the problems of my friends, my students, and their families in my heart as I pray, and wonder how certain seemingly intractable societal problems will ever be solved. As I pray, I\u2019ve noticed that something inside of me is beginning to stir.<\/p>\n<p>This thing inside of me &#8211; I\u2019ll call it hope &#8211; is rousing, but isn\u2019t quite fully awake yet. It\u2019s in partial hibernation mode, unable to completely shake off the numbing darkness even though winter\u2019s grip ought to be loosening. Perhaps it\u2019s age-related. Or perhaps it\u2019s just a fact that after a few hard kicks in the teeth by reality, it is hard to hope. Staying open to hope takes energy, and it leaves me exposed to the possibility of even more pain. What if I am disappointed again? Can I survive? Sadly, I sometimes find it easier not to hope, not to dream about what could be, and instead content myself with few plans, small dreams, and little prayer. Faithfulness to the tasks in front of me, I say to myself, is more important than grandiose schemes of my own making. And this is true, if the two items being weighed are faithfulness to the presenting tasks and duties on the one hand, and my own wayward ideas of what I want on the other.<\/p>\n<p>Many clear days, I see a glimpse of Mt. Fuji from a car window or train platform, and with each glimpse, the dimly remembered question has slowly moved front and center in my mind. Mt. Fuji seems immovable; but if it needed to be moved, how could God and I do it? These big problems that my heart aches over, isn\u2019t there something I could be doing to change my anger and frustration into prayer and action rather than apathy? These questions roll around in my mind, much like a silver ball in a pre-electronic pinball machine. The questions score points as they bounce off of activist tendencies which make me feel good as long as I\u2019m \u201cdoing\u201d something visible, then accrue penalties as they ricochet off of the awareness that I have less energy, less mental acuity, and more failures on my ledger than when I was young. I come back to the question: Shouldn\u2019t I just be faithful to the tasks ahead of me each day and quit dreaming about unreal things?<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly the air of my winter den becomes charged. I smell and feel the tingle of energy, and I hear with newly waked ears: My dilemma is a false construct. The choice is always and only this: to follow Jesus today, or not. Where the call leads, and whether the effort \u201csucceeds\u201d or \u201cfails\u201d is not my concern. I am called to follow Jesus, step by step, day by day. It may look like a choice between the safety and security of the known, concrete, justifiable ways I\u2019ve settled into, or the challenge of moving in new directions without a roadmap. \u201cFaithfulness to tasks\u201d is a well-accepted excuse to avoid \u201cfaithfulness to follow God into new territory.\u201d Prayerful discernment is needed. But the essence of the choice isn\u2019t between new or ordinary, big or little, scary or safe; it is always and only a choice to follow (or not follow) the voice of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Google Blog post for February 6, 2012. Recently, <a href=\"http:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/whats-your-x-amplifying-technology.html\">Google sponsored \u201cthe solve for X gathering,\u201d<\/a> a place to enthusiastically engage in \u201ctechnology moonshots,\u201d efforts to address seemingly impossible problems with creativity, cooperative problem solving, and technology. \u201cMoonshots live in the gray area between audacious projects and pure science fiction; they are 10x improvement, not 10%.\u201d As I read this, something jumped inside of me: hope, now fully awake, breaking out of its self-imposed prison. Mt. Fuji can stay where it is until the Microsoft people or God move it; It looks quite glorious right where it is, but there are other seemingly impossible problems which God is calling me and you to pray and creatively cooperate with others to address in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your \u201cX\u201d? Is there a wild, radical dream God has planted in your heart? Or perhaps you wouldn\u2019t call it a dream yet, but a concern which has tugged at you for a long time, but it never seemed to really \u201cfit\u201d with your current tasks and responsibilities? Maybe you hear the whisper of the Spirit to faithfully follow the Lord, even in new directions. Neither solving for X nor moving a mountain is impossible for those who live in the faithfulness of God. And besides, the question is really only this: Will we follow the voice of Jesus today?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2012\/02\/Mt.-Fuji-Book1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-959\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2012\/02\/Mt.-Fuji-Book1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/tajohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2012\/02\/Mt.-Fuji-Book1.jpg 500w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/tajohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2012\/02\/Mt.-Fuji-Book1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/tajohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2012\/02\/Mt.-Fuji-Book1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/tajohnson?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=949&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I found a paperback book on the sale rack, a bit dog-eared, but still a good read.
