Hey followers. Wow, what beautiful weather for November! I can’t remember the last time it was this nice this late in the year. Maybe the mice (at home) I am catching know something that I don’t.

Drawing On Courage and Christian Faith to Overcome Failure
There is a very damaging and scary “F” word out there that we don’t like to talk about. Do you know what it is?
That would be the word Fail. I don’t like to talk about my failures, do you? I didn’t think so. On the whole no one likes to talk about, draw attention to, or even think about their own failures. Here’s the important thing to remember though: how you think about failure will define you just as much as how you define success will. Those people who steward failure well are going to be happier and more succesful. They will ultimately be the keepers of the future.
