We do not grow by knowing all of the answers, but rather by living with the questions.

We see a decline of civility, and, sadly, it’s often modeled by the very people from whom we have the least right to expect it.

Leaders who keep promises and followers who respond in kind create an opportunity generate enormous energy around their commitment to serve others.

Understanding the diversity of our gifts enables us to begin taking the crucial step of trusting each other.

We can go through anything because Jesus goes before us.

A short term view will lead to a partial and perhaps twisted view of the whole picture. A crucial element may be missing. We may not be running the entire race. A friend of mine described a colleague as great at running the "ninety-five yard dash." That is a distinction I can do without. Lacking the last five yards makes the first ninety-five pointless. In fact, serious runners thing of it as a 110 yard dash so that no one will best them in the last few yards. You've got to think beyond the whole.

In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
