That's what this thing called Christian life is all about, isn't it. Going . . . yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction . . . or in pursuit of a precise goal.

All he asks is that we trust Him, that we stand before Him in integrity and faith. God is just waiting for us to trust Him.

On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don't quit, whatever you do. Persevere.

When you pray, pray so that you may know Him. When you seek to simplify, do it as a means of knowing Him more. When you surrender, or behave with humility or sacrifice, do it with the sole purpose in mind to know Him.

Dream big . . . don't let anybody or anything break your wishbone. Stay strong, full of faith, and courageous... keep that backbone straight. And along the way, don't forget to laugh and enjoy the journey.

Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.

The lens of fear magnifies the size of uncertainty.
