I am so proud of her.  She has known that God has a call on her life for years and is finally surrendering to that call to go be a missionary to Mexico for at least 1 year.  God has done a lot in her to prepare her and I know that Mexico will never [...]

I was going to take several months off of twitter/facebook.  The reason was 1) I was becoming too addicted to it and 2) I needed to simplify and think through some things and didn’t want to be distracted. The reason I am back earlier than normal is that as I was processing some things I [...]

A creative way to break down some leadership principles I have learned over the years… EYES – Always look ahead.  Prepare your ministry/organization for what is coming next.  The only way to do that is to be aware of coming trends, models, environments etc…  Keep focused on the task at hand.  Don’t glance to the [...]
