This past Sunday as we talked about the key ingredient of "vision" for our families we saw from Genesis how God's vision for human beings needs to get inside us and become our own. I found this article, which is available for download online, searching "finding your child's calling". I thought it had some very helpful insight I ...

3 Critical Leadership Lessons from a quick glance visit to Liberty University I had never seen Liberty University and, like most people, had only a caricature knowledge of its founder Jerry Falwell. Standing in Lynchburg and seeing a campus that is now reaching (with internet) some 50,000 students, I couldn’t help but be inspired. ...
