I am a firm believer that the Lord sometimes has to short-circuit even our best plans for our benefit.

The Lord has a plan. We always think the plans are A, B, C and D, and everything is going to be perfect for us and it may not be that way, but it's still His plan.

Things will go wrong at times. You can't always control your attitude, approach, and response. You options are to complain or to look ahead and figure out how to make the situation better

Once we had become locked in on a schedule, he (Coach Denny Green) often created a disruption (artificial adversity) to that schedule just to see how guys would respond.

You need togetherness because you don't always win, and you have got to hang though together

And if God has given you a lot of ability, I believe you should be held to a higher level of expectation.

Remember that mentor leadership is all about serving.
