Thoughts

Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise.

Agree/Disagree?

A new experience

So I have heard people talk, write, romanticize about this... but it has never happened to me ... until now!!! You know how it goes ... you are standing in a crowded room and a certain person walks into the room. Your both scanning the room and when your eyes meet theres something that stirs you inside. And as you continue to gaze you know thats its a mutual feeling. Fortunately I was able to catch this moment on video tape [although a little shakey- stupid zoom]. Take a look. I have to admit .... my heart melted.


I learned a thousand lessons in those few seconds that transpired. One of them was the desire for a son to have Dad's recognition and the depth that that brings to his life. I can never forget the power of that light that came into his eyes when he saw his dad.
Ethan and Aidan I am your biggest fan and know that I am proud of you, I love you and I will always support you!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!
[PS Love the nose picker classmate too...]

Expectation


In many leadership roles a leader must learn to manage expectations.
What is the greater challenge?

Working through the expectations of those you lead and lead with?
or working through your own internal expectation of yourself?
