I have a lovely wife and two lovely daughters. They all three possess a beauty that flows from who they are.
I regret that the message our culture sends to females is to strive for an unattainable, perfection in beauty that leaves many women convinced they cannot, and will not, ever measure up.
This well-done clip by the folks at Dove reveals the artificiality behind the myth of attaining beauty perfection... a myth that, as a youth minister, I saw crush the spirit of far too many adolescent females.

- Husband of Susan, Pop of Katie Lea and Caroline, adopted Dad of Serge, part of the Rwanda Children leadership team. Rwanda Children doesn't preview or approve this blog. My views are my views.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

God is looking for those with whom he can do the impossible- What a pity that we plan things we can only do by ourselves.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.

The great illusion of leadership is is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.
... Henri Nouwen
Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.
