BRAVO!!!!! You deserve the trophy!! Your blog is like an artesian well....it never runs dry!!! I will check out Pastor Dickie's blog....and I am already a big fan of Chris's blog and Chuck's too! We are hanging on every word....keep it coming guys!!!

Orrin and fellow bloggers,

I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone for this leadership blog. Orrin told us in an article a while back that this was "OUR" blog. I took him at his word and made myself right at home. :)
I have devoured this blog since the very beginning, and not just the articles. There have been so many fantastic comments posted here, too. I have developed a few special relationships with people that I have never even met, and I cannot tell you how much I cherish that. Our Team is very small where I live, (for now) and our support group is quite a distance away. This blog has provided mentorship, friendship, personal growth, and has challenged me to question why I believe what I believe. This blog has given me strength, hope, and an education I would have otherwise missed out on. I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my deepest heart felt thanks to Mr. Orrin Woodward for providing this place for us to be together. For taking the time to share himself with us (or at least as much as legal injunctions would allow) and for providing some thought provoking articles to think deeply about.
Thank you fellow bloggers. I have met one person from this blog so far that has turned out to be a very cool person. I get to see Steve Visser at Seminars in Houston, and since I have met him he has always taken the time to talk with me and lift me up. His comments on this and other blogs have added value to my journey of Leadership Development. I really appreciate Steve taking the time to do that.

You other special people know who you are. We just haven't got the chance to meet in person. I chat via email with a couple of you guys, and I want you to know how special you are to me. It really does prove that the three stranded cord is so much stronger. I look forward to the day we meet in person.

I also want to lift up Chris Brady's blog. Getting to meet him in St. Louis and being recognized as "One of the Three Bloggers" is definately a highlight in the past eight months of turmoil. Chris and Orrin are two of the most intelligent men I have ever had the pleasure of trying to learn from, and the teaching they have provided has really caused me to want to push myself to learn more and be a better man.

I feel they have done their part to lead me to truth.

Pastor Dickie has my deepest respect, and is the main reason I have worked really hard to clean up my language. When I heard him speak in Louisville, his talk affected me on such a deep level that it challenged me to be a better man. I am answering that challenge. If I ever get the chance to meet Pastor Dickie, I would thank him for that.

That is what making a difference is about. I have been led to the Team. There is no doubt.
I pray to do my best to pass what I am learning on to others, and to be a difference maker myself.

Onward to a million and beyond.
I believe it. Lets see it together.

Orrin, congrats! Thank you so much for this blog and the opportunity to be a participant of it. I look forward to reading this blog each and every day.

Just found this article about a freshman at UCLA playing basketball, thought you might enjoy checking it out.

Orrin,
Congratulations to you and to all the rest of us (oops, am I patting my self on the back) well, like Walter Brennan used to say on "The Real McCoys," "No Brag, Just Fact." Now while everyone under fifty or so are scratching your heads over that reference, I have an interesting question. (At least I think it is interesting.) Since Star is the beginning of success in Mona Vie, I wonder how many Quick Stars represent Mona Vie? I can't claim originality for that reference, since I think that it was Greg J or Tony H who came up with it last night in a meeting.
"Fire and Honor"
