There are times when a leader is out in front staring down opposition and looking at options. The leader cuts a path for others to travel with direction and even protection. Sometimes the leader is the last to be honored and blessed. If a leader is not a servant leader, I’m not sure he can…
This is a word with a double meaning for sure. It can mean that I’m going to take a general view or an in-depth view of a situation to determine options regarding use or value. It can also mean the scientific measurement of land to determine boundaries and topography of the land. A good survey…
I am so blessed to be a Dad to a sweet daughter. I am Dad to 4 boys and 1 girl. I’m not sure I can explain it the bond I have with my daughter. It’s not that I love my sons less, it’s just different. Some of my dear friends have only daughters and…
