The stone could not hold Him. The bribed guards could not stop the Truth. Rome’s might proved insufficient, Heron’s power was impotent, and no government sponsored blasphemy can defeat this one great, transcendent, ultimate reality…… HE IS RISEN INDEED.
Believers need not be shaken or surprised when powerful unbelievers mock and desecrate
the Resurrection of Our Lord. Even on that first glorious Sunday the wicked in positions of power sealed His tomb and bribed the guards to lie. Nothing worked. Hallelujah! He arose!
Many say “Never quit.” Never? Great leaders know when to quit. There can be a correct moment to cut your losses. How can you do a better thing, the RIGHT thing while persisting in the wrong thing? Don’t quit easily but know when to move on.
In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.
30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.
Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.
Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.
An elderly man rear-ended a guy driving an expensive sports car.
Enraged, the guy hops out and confronts the old man.
"Look what you did to my car" he yells.
"You're going to give me $10,000 right now or I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
"Oh my" says the old man, "I don't have that kind of money.
Let me call my son, he trains dolphins and he will know what to do."
"Dolphins" the other driver huffs, while rolling his eyes.
The old man pulls out his phone, dials his son and just as his son answered, the irate man snatches the phone away from the old man.
"So, YOU'RE a dolphin trainer, huh? Well, Your old man here just rear-ended my car and I need 10 grand right now or I'm going to beat you AND your old man to a pulp."
"I'll be there in 10 minutes," says the voice calmly on the other end.
Exactly 10 minutes later a Jeep pulls up and a guy hops out and proceeds to pulverize the bully, leaving him in a heap on the side of the road.
When he finished, he walked over to his father and said….
"For the last time dad, I train Seals, Navy Seals.....
NOT dolphins!"

Great leaders reduce stress and anxiety for all around them. They exude an infectious calm assurance. Emotional lightweights and manipulators keep those around them stirred up and anxious.
