We are part of the best story there is. So how do we cast a compelling vision for our community and connect with the people – even those who don’t believe as we do – in a way that excites them, assures them we care, and connects our story to theirs in a way that shows them the depth of meaning THE story can bring to their lives!?
Stephen Covey on vision and beginning with the end in mind

On associating with the anxiety too many feel

Jonathan Edwards on purpose of life
“God’s purpose for my life is that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.” ― Jonathan Edwards

“Hello world!” Seems fitting…
We’re all screaming for satisfaction from start to finish. Maybe nothing really changes?
