I want to introduce you to our newest family member. Meet Tali (Hebrew for ”my lamb”). We have been given a gift from God, in Tali, that we will treasure every day.
Trivia note-Tali was also the name of Ziva’s sister in NCIS (which was the name of our yorkie we had). 😉 #grateful

@KennyLSU So sorry to hear your recent run on issues. It sure makes you think everything is timed to break down when it all happens at once. Sorry, my friend.

So true! It’s important to face and admit who we really are. Freedom starts with admitting.

Leading with character, care, and a common goal is indeed what leadership is all about. Great stuff, @LeonLeeEllis!

[Leon (Lee) Ellis, CSP @LeonLeeEllis]

“Becoming a skilled, emotionally intelligent, honorable leader trying to keep a team of people focused on a common goal isn’t for cowards; it’s dedication and courage personified.”

So true! God indeed takes our deepest pains and shames and does His best work. What the enemy meant to destroy us, God turns for good. The amazing power of our loving and active God.

[Dr. Henry Cloud @DrHenryCloud]

God can use our trials to make us better people and bring good out of even the most horrific tragedies in our lives.

Eternal life is knowing (in a personal and intimate way) the only true God.

If that’s what eternal life is, we need to know the truth of this true God.

Let's not be satisfied with reform of religion but look to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The longer I live the more I realize the truth of this statement.

The enticement of this world fades with an increasing desire for the presence of God.

@TozerAW

[Dean Cross @deancross1]

What a great truth to know and embrace.

Do you believe God loves you most though knowing the worst about you?

No matter what is going on in your life and our world, know that God is still God and is with you every step of the way.
