One of the reminders of the summer, as I prep to lead my campus next year, is that a principal is first and foremost an instructional leader. As principals pour energy into this priority, campuses are lifted up! #gocardinals

Welcome to "Silent Saturday!" The tomb is sealed and not even a whisper echoes from Heaven.

The truth about silence is silence sometimes shouts!

One of the indispensable qualities often missing in Christianity is holiness. He is holy and the resolve to imitate him is a transformative gesture that comes with great cost. This explains its absence, too pricey.

The words of Jeremiah stir my spirit! The cause of God within him was a burning fire that could not be contained.

May the cause of Christ move me with such fervor and determination. The barrier, however, to a burning fire within is the complacency of security without.

Jesus stands out for so many reasons. He is God! But, what strikes me today is He stands apart from the crowd because He saw what all others dismissed, a self-destructing soul, hurt cripple, a desperate party host, a diseased outcast. Anonymity is lost when Jesus enters the room!

Belief in god is not as rare today as is the particular God you believe in! The God you believe in shapes who you are, what you do, and how you do what you do.

Faith is personal and independent, but it is also interdependent. What I believe makes an impact on others!

[Jerry Nelson @jerrywnelson]

Truth! Believing it, professing it, and rejecting the antithesis of it is a challenging proposal in today’s world.

However, Christians are designed to be and commissioned to serve as the truth beacons!

As we move into the Easter season it is a time of anticipation. Most of the year is lived in the presence of sacrifice, disappointment, and finality; but at Easter we discover Divine hope! Walk the journey to Easter with prayer and discover anew an empty tomb and a filled hope!!

Little League baseball last Saturday and a special night of worship at our church tonight. And I found God in attendance both places. Life is not intended to be a separation of the sacred and secular. The Divine makes His presence known in every place!

Trip to the coast and noted this chemical tanker from the world’s largest fleet. Slowly, methodically moving from one point to the next. In moments it had travelled miles. Faith is less a matter of a big event and pivotal moment, than it is the steady step forward today!

Metanoia, change of mind, is the word Peter Senge chooses to highlight “what happens in a learning organization.” It is more significantly the word in Christian tradition for the experience of changing directions and walking toward and with Christ. It is giving Him control.

As the new year begins resolve to be confident, considerate, and convicted.

1) Confidence will allow you to take on what you would otherwise avoid.

2) Consideration is the action of a grateful heart.

3) Conviction empowers you to be bold and authentic.
