Reaching The Top Is A Monumental Achievement,

The Goal Of The Pastor Is Not To Get People To Show Up But To Get People To Grow Up.

My Leadership Began To Take Flight When I Allowed Myself To Press People To Change-whether They Thanked Me Or Cursed Me.

Nobody Wanders His Or Her Way To A Dream, And Nobody Achieves A Dream By Accident. Don't Shortcut The Process And Risk Cheating Yourself Out Of Your Dream!

By The Time I Went To The Pulpit, The Vision Was Never On The Same Level As When God First Gave It To Me; It Was Clearer And Bigger. It Was Better Because The Body Of Christ Complemented What God Had Given Me. So When I Gave The Vision To The Congregation, The Influencers Already Bought It. Then After The People Have Heard My Message, And Migrate To The Influencers, These Influencers Are Already My Allies And Help Me Communicate The Vision To The Congregation.

Poem By Howard A. Walter (character) I Would Be True, For There Are Those Who Trust Me; I Would Be Pure, For There Are Those Who Care; I Would Be Strong, For There Are Those Who Suffer; I Would Be Brave, For There Is Much To Dare. I Would Be Friend Of All--- The Foe, The Friendless; I Would Be Giving, And Forget The Gift; I Would Be Humble, For I Know My Weakness; I Would Look Up, And Laugh, And Love, And Lift.
