Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation.
With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.

God’s goal is not to make you happy. It is to make you His.
From Psalm 119:76: “Let Your steadfast love become my comfort according to Your promise to Your servant.“
Fragile, yet unbroken
Remaining soft-spoken
Perplexed, yet answers found
Feeling free, homeward bound
Deadlocked, yet finding key
Moving on, let it be
Homeless, yet seeing light
Making nightly campsite
Troubled, yet finding peace
Forging life’s brand new lease
Hidden, yet discovered
Finding future covered
Misplaced, yet always found
Sleeping on softest ground
Wounded, yet walking free
Earning final degree
Useless, yet finding worth
Flying high above earth
Hungry, yet always fed
Tasting life’s daily bread
Shortchanged, yet now fulfilled
Making steps, always thrilled
Forgotten, yet now loved
Sharing days with beloved

Waking up on a cold, frigid, winter morn
Looking like one more day with a storm
Pulling the warm covers over my bare head
Let’s fast forward to a new season instead
Always dreaming big at night
Never alone, perfect delight
Fast forward to a hot summer day
Sensational, unblemished blue sky
Feeling an urge to jump up, shout and say
Have you ever seen a more beautiful sky?
Seeing a Big Montana Sky
Morning sun climbs high
Traveling to Montana brings pure pleasures
Experiencing a saddlebag full of treasures
Shining high above, a cloudless view
Bringing a smile to God, always true
Always dreaming big at night
Never alone, perfect delight
Western hospitality, the Big Sky way
Filled with warmest smiles, no haste
Be certain to come back as we always say
Montana’s Big Sky, the Last Best Place!
