Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

FAMILY MATTERS

Time does fly as some folks say and here we are beyond the Y2K.

For some it took a while to come, for others time has just begun.



Time is either friend or foe. It may run too fast or crawl too slow.

But whether it scolds or flatters, one clock is constant - Family Matters.



Lives intertwine and then unravel. Some dive in while others dabble.

And whether it be choice or chance, We're all adorned by circumstance.



We pay our money and roll the dice. And perhaps we win once or twice.

But whether in riches or in tatters, one bet is sure - Family Matters.



God sent us here. He has a plan. God looks beyond the mortal man,

into the depths of what can be, beyond what the eyes of man can see.



If to reach God's viewpoint we aspire, then each day we must climb higher.

Together each day we climb that eternal ladder, because forever is a Family Matter.

Waking Up

I did my first (of many I hope) radio interviews today with our neighbor and friend Steve Evans. Steve owns and operates KVEL 920 AM and KLCY in Vernal, UT. I believe it went quite well but with room for improvement. Preparing did give me pause to reflect on what brought me to write my book. There are any number of significant influences but the overriding factor was simply that one day I woke up and realized I didn't believe in who I was. I won't say I was living a lie, but I was not living my truth. Once that realization occured, I became focused on finding out just exactly who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing.


Paul Brady, who helped me through the early development stages of the book expressed it best when he said, "I have never read a compilation of so much truth so well and astutely organized. I suppose the highest compliment I could pay you is not that I am better-informed or that you have certainly assembled an impressive amount of well-researched information, but rather that I am a better person for having read the book. I feel elevated and feel a strong desire to be a better person, neighbor, father, son and brother. I feel like my mind has been opened to possibilities I have never considered but which are real and true despite my ignorance of them or my laxity in pursuing them."
