Transform - Love - Serve

October 1st is the kickoff to the best three days of my year. Not only do I get to hang out with some of my best friends in the world, but we will spend the next three days talking about how we can become better leaders. The big takeaway I hope, is that we all leave with the theme of one of our event sponsors, The Redwoods Group: Transform - Love - Serve.
Got to love the SWAG

Our guest speakers will be Journey Johnson, the retired YMCA CEO from Nashville, TN. He will talk about leadership challenges. We will also spend time with Pam Davies, the President of Queens University, and  have discussions around creating big visions. We will close our sessions around creating an entrepreneurial spirit in our teams with Scott Cochran, VP of the Mungo Center at Wofford College.

YMCA CEO's from NC, SC, VA, TN and even two from PA will be in Shelby to play golf, hear speakers, eat great, and most importantly, help each other.

Helpless and Hopeless

I spent most of last night and early this morning praying for a young family going through the tragedy of the loss of their young daughter. Some things are just hard to comprehend and something like this can just leave you almost helpless and hopeless.

While reading the paper this morning, I read of the passing of Chick Fil-A Founder, Truett Cathy. I smiled when the image came in to my mind of Mr. Cathy holding this little girls hand as they walked into heaven together. Maybe for a quick stop of nuggets and waffle fries!


I know My Redeemer Lives!
