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, another great video. But at the beginning of the video a young man said something that I disagree with and I wanted to know your opinion on it. He said that we all deserve a second chance. I disagree with that statement. IF we do deserve a second chance, that would tend to mean we have the right and almost the responsibility to waste our first chance. I don't believe anyone deserves a second chance. What I do believe is that anyone who does get a second chance it is because of the grace and mercy of a wonderful person or group of people. I believe we have the right, maybe the responsibility, to give second chances. I believe anyone who does get a second chance received a rare and wonderful gift that cannot be paid back, but should be paid forward. I know I have received a second chance, maybe more than once, and I know how it feels to get that second chance. I am eternally grateful for it, but I never felt I deserved it. I fought hard to earn it, but never took it for granted that I should receive it. Those young men were all given a second chance, and they accepted it and played hard to keep it. May the rest of their lives be so full of mercy and grace! And may they all pass it on!
