“Make promises for the future, then deliver.” Sounds like a good definition of leadership.

P.S. Way to go Lifechurch in delivering on the promise of taking good news to the people of Nashville. Praying for the Church as she reaches out during this time.

Craig, Praise and Blessing goes out to the staff at Life Church for reaching out to our local community!!!!! “Whooo-hoo! Raise The roof! Churn that butter! Roger Rabbit Ole school style!” Lol :)

I arrived on the scene of a devastated neighborhood to bring lunches with others and Tony Young, Missions Pastor Rolled up (like a force) with a team to hand out ESSENTIAL needs to the community donated by Life Church! BTW…Tony (your local staff) has truly been an example of Selfless Giving and Leadership through this hardship… so much so that TEMA personally called him and asked if HE was up and operational…LOL He said “ummm no I didn’t know I was an actual drop point? We are going to Lowes and giving what we can through Life Church!” Life Church is being a Bright Light in our Local community! Thank You SO Much!!!!! May God shower all of you and your families with “off-the-chart” blessings! Going back out today with a group from church… We Cant wait to Give!

That’s really wise.

It helps you focus on your strengths. Because you could start everything off immediately, but it would be really crappy :)

I’ve always loved how LifeChurch.tv has taught me to play to strengths - focus on the necessities (remembering that it’s not necessary to do everything).

This is great teaching for me because I always want to be good at everything. Here at the Univ. of Ok, I’ve wanted to take piano, violin, vocal, speech, religious studies, nonprofit, business, non-western culture and more classes! But I’ve realized I need to focus on what my God-given strengths are and work on those.

That’s what I see is happening at the Yukon campus and I love it! Focus, focus, focus! “You don’t have to do it all today.”

“You don’t have to have it all today”… AMEN to this Craig! I have LEARNED that personally this week!

Please everyone pray for the Nashville Community..its is so much worse than what the National news has given us coverage. Nashville will Survive…Just SO much lost! “We quite probably experienced the costliest non-hurricane disaster in American history” The national news has given us on average 15 minutes…. please watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFjaQoOdJvI&feature=player_embedded#! To see the real damage!
