Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

Orrin, you mention, " Just look at the Bible the president is sworn in on and the oath on the Bible that was originally how you were sworn in - in court cases." How do you interpret Matt: 33-37, " Again you have heard that it was said to those of old ' You shall not swear falsley, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' But I say to you, do not swear at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by earth, for it is His footstool;nor by Jersusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' for whatever is more than these is from the evil one." This scripture caught my attention a few years ago. It seems we violate it all the time from the president all the way down to court cases on the local level. Am I interpreting it correctly? Thanks, best regards
