Last night I watched one of the most inspiring news segments that I have seen in a long time. I am not sure where the story took place, but the coverage was about two softball teams. Now you may be thinking, “What is so special about softball teams?” Well, let me tell you. These teams [...]

Why Are You Here?
Posted in Formation, Hope, Leadership on April 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever wondered why you were born where and when it happened? I mean, why was I born in Texas in the mid-60′s? Why not in Europe in the 1800′s or Israel in 12 AD? I read this earlier this morning and it reminded me that God has a plan for each of us. [...]

Thoughts On Tim Sanders’ Book – Today We Are Rich
Posted in Leadership, Motivational on March 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to hear Tim Sanders speak. He grew up in Clovis, New Mexico, but he made a name for himself in the midst of the dot.com era working for a time as an executive with Yahoo! I was pulled in by his charisma and passion for communication and then [...]
A Simple Thanks

Sometimes the simple things are the most powerful. Take for instance the single word Thanks. Have you stopped to think about how powerful that little 6 letter word can be when used with meaning? I am reading a new book by Tim Sanders entitled, Today We Are Rich, and in the book there is an [...]
Visionary Leader or ADHD Idea Generator?
Posted in Leadership on March 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The other day, a friend of mine described a few leaders she has known as ADHD Idea Generators. You may know the type. They have a new idea for every staff meeting. The staff leaves each meeting not knowing if they should complete the steps to carry out the vision of three weeks ago, or [...]
The Power of Multiplication

Yesterday’s post began the conversation about the importance of relationships in leaving a legacy. Today, I want to expand on that idea. If we truly believe that relationships are the best way to impact the world, then how do we make the most of our efforts? I want to make a suggestion that on the [...]
The Legacy of Relationships

Last week we finished our class on Wednesday nights over the book and study series by Max Lucado entitled, Out Live Your Life. Over the past 6 weeks, I have done a lot of pondering about what I am leaving behind. When I am gone, will people say, “I am glad he was here.”? [...]
The Effective Leader

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 principle? I am sure you have. If you haven’t, you may be in the 80% group. The 80/20 principle states that 80% of the work gets done by 20% of the folks. That applies in most any organization – but especially in a volunteer organization. 20% of the [...]
Heed the Call
Posted in Hope, Leadership, Motivational on January 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I have mentioned before that I am reading through the Gospels with this specific question in mind: ”What was important to Jesus?” I have made it all the way through Matthew 4. As I read of Jesus’ calling of the disciples, I am reminded of the fact that Jesus called common folk. Jesus didn’t approach [...]
