Life scheduling is the anticipation of God???s working in my life so as to benefit from it.??In this paper I suggest that we anticipate in four ways: What; When; How; Import. I have gathered some excerpts together which show some of my planning for Afterglow ministry???using these 4 anticipating prompts. In essence, I am suggesting some of my Life Scheduling concerning this important closure Phase of Ministry???AFTERGLOW. (28 p.)

Structural time is a way of viewing happenings with a long enough linear span of time so that actual cycles of repeated events can be identified. Having identified these structural stages one can then use the list of repeating cycles to both explain what has happened in an organization or movement and to somewhat predict what may happen next. This is an important concept in ???Change Dynamics??? theory, i.e. used in strategizing to implement change in an organization. (27 p.)

From time to time, I collect all the material I have amassed on a topic and do a position??paper, that is, a paper summarizing what I know about the subject. This article does that??for the important leadership notion of,??Ministry Flows Out of Being, which was discovered as I did biographical study on how God develops leaders over a lifetime. Having discovered the three major concepts:

??? ??Core of Beingness
??? ??Force of Beingness
??? ??Rationale of Beingness

I continued further research into beingness and began to devise materials that helped clarify the constituent parts of these major beingness items. The paper. which follows, describes the major concepts and their constituent parts. Further, I suggest materials for further study that will further define these important beingness items.??My desire is that leaders would minister out of being and thus accomplish their God intended??destinies.

This is a collection of individual items about my discipleship concerning prayer. The Navigator Wheel???which is the major discipleship paradigm that was taught to me??in 1964???has a Hub in the center and 4 four spokes radiating from it which led to a??Wheel Circumference. One of those spokes is labeled ???prayer.??? This position paper is a collection of all that I have done to develop myself in the discipleship spoke of ?????prayer.??? (182 p.)

This position paper gives invaluable perspective on what to be aware of as you finish your lifetime of ministry. The heart of this paper deals with four Consolidation Categories of things you should do if you want to finish well and leave behind a legacy. These include: 1.) Nine Ministry Activities often seen in Afterglow; 2.) Deliberate Modeling; 3.) Strengthening Lasting Achievements; 4.) Passing the Baton. Afterglow, the major word in the title of this position paper,??is a picture word???it takes us to a fire, which has burned down to a large set of glowing embers. Light and heat are still coming from this fire, which is in its finishing stages. May you glow brightly as you finish well!

Reflections from Dr. J. Robert Clinton about how leaders complete their legacy and empower others to continue to utilize and carry on their influence. Afterglow is the final stage of lifelong development and involves both empowerment of others, and the reflections from the life of a leader. (28 p.)

“As a teacher, one of my hoped for outcomes of my teaching career is that some folks who have studied with me will be able to carry on what I have begun – and thus continue the leading concentration that I have developed over my thirty years of teaching at Fuller Theological Seminary.”

Isolation processing is an important shaping activity. 90% of the leaders Dr. Clinton has studied experience the shaping activity of isolation. Dr. Clinton begins this paper by defining and describing isolation. What is isolation?
