Window of Opportunity
My children often hear me teach about a window of opportunity. Sometimes a window is open but then it will be shut. Sometimes forever. An opportunity is good chance or occasion to advance in some way. We are all given windows of opportunity in a variety of areas. We have a window of opportunity […]
Grand Central
I’ve often wondered what it is about Grand Central that I love so much. I wondered if it was how “grand” the terminal is, the wide variety of good food, the excellent coffee or Junior’s which was voted best cheesecake in NYC. Yesterday as I was running through the terminal to catch a train it […]
The Deepest Love
I love Valentine’s Day. Before marriage I would speak to women about God’s love for us being the greatest love of all. I enjoy sharing what Scripture teaches us about love…God loves us with an everlasting love. He has drawn us with loving kindness. His lovingkindness is great toward us. Love covers all transgressions. Love […]
Leadership Is Not Manipulation
Genuine regard for people is not something that can be faked. People can not only sense your true sincerity, but they can only be fooled for so long before your actions will expose you. Manipulation means causing others to act for a perceived benefit, though temporary, for the manipulator. The ultimate cost of manipulative tactics […]
Blessing and Curses
Negative words will cause children to lose the sense of value that God has placed within them. A child’s self-image will be destroyed if they continually hear negative words spoken to them.

We explained the rules carefully…only people that we know personally can be accepted as friends. In the beginning his only friends were family, our […]
The Power Of Words
As adults, we can profoundly influence the direction of children by the words we say to them. With our words, we have the ability to mold and shape the future of anyone over whom we have influence. And each of us has influence over people. Last weekend my family watched an excellent movie called Gifted […]
What I’m Reading Again
There are few books that I read a second time but Leadership Gold is one of them. At the beginning of the year I think about my personal growth and development and write down a plan for the year. This book is on my list for 2009 even though I read it last year when […]
Every Decision Has Consequences
Last night we were crossing 7th Avenue to have dinner with a potential staff member at the world famous Carnegie Deli. As I am rushing across to avoid being hit by cars something happened in my leg which hindered me from getting to the other side. The middle of a street is never a place […]
Why Do People Resist Change?
I believe it was Mark Twain who once said The only person who likes to change is a wet baby. It does seem to be human nature to resist change that we are not convinced will be better. The greater our need or circumstances, the more open we are to change. President Obama ran on […]
