Thank You.

As I approached our meeting yesterday, I realized I had no idea how many paople would show up. It could have been 6 or 60...as it was totally your choice on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. When I scanned the audience and saw in the neighborhood of 100 people sitting there...I couldn't help but feel extremely humble.
Thank you. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your concern over this program we've been building. Thank you for sharing your time with me. Thank you for YOUR hard work in bringing this program to the strong, powerful, level it now rests at. This team is a statement by you, for you, about you. This team will give you memories you will never forget...friendships that will last a lifetime...and lessons that will carry you through the tough times that will come your way.
I am extremely proud of my connection with this team, and I will always be it's biggest cheerleader. Yesterday's meeting opened a new era for this team. What do you want it to be? What do you want it to become? This is your charge...this is your decision. What will your legacy be?

Finish what you started...

Happy Easter to All

The Easter celebration is in my opinion a day celebrating change. Maybe the most significant change this world has ever experienced. Changes have of course occured since then, but none of that magnitude. People have experienced changes in their lives since the day they were born. Many of those changes you thought were unfair, painful, and too much for you to bear...but guess what...you survived. Not only did you survive...but you became a better, stronger person because that situation.

Change can be painful, but on this Easter Sunday, let's try and remember, there have been bigger changes on this planet than ours...and things turned out ok then. God has brought us to this place for a reason...we'll find out what that reason is someday down the road. Until then, try to appreciate each other, and be thankful that BIG change about 2000 years ago happened.
