The vision, the passion, the intensity are greatest at the top. That’s just the way it works. If you are the leader of the organization, you also are the driver of the passion. No one is going to care more than you. Sounds reasonable, right? And yet somehow it’s so easy to forget. We get […]
Just be you. Be who you are. Ever get told those statements? Maybe by a friend, a counselor or your spouse? But what if you don’t know who you are? I’ve been grappling with this question a lot lately: Who is “who I am”? We start being who others want us to be very early […]

Alfalfa and I have one thing in common – the cowlick. Mine is just left of the center of my forward (that’s left for me, right for you.) My cowlick dictates where my hair parts and the overall direction of my hairstyle. I’ve tried to work against it, but it’s fruitless. It’s a part of […]

My Fabulous Friday time is focused on preparing for some exciting things that I get to be a part of this Spring. If you haven’t made your conference plans yet, I encourage you to check these out. And… if you are going to be at any of these conference, please please be sure to let […]
Decisions. Making decisions is one of the toughest things you do as a leader. And yet making wise decisions is at the core of good leadership. If you make decisions too slowly, you frustrate your team. If you make decisions too hastily, you may make an unwise or uneducated decision. It’s the decision trap. And […]
I’ve been a little slow to the party on this one. I just couldn’t get settled on a word and then I wasn’t sure I really liked the word that God kept whispering to me. H U M I L I T Y It’s painful to even type it because to commit to it is […]
Ouchy-wa-wa! It seems that today’s message at Cross Point is a subject that God won’t allow me NOT to hear. Messages of faith, trusting God, relinquishing control, surrendering my will are bombarding me from all sides. I can’t ignore them so I’m trying to listen.
