Momentum and Leadership

Momentum is extremely important when leading.

There are two types of momentum: the kind that comes from something positive that has happened through no work of your own, and momentum that comes when you MAKE something positive happen.

Momentum is so important to the growth of any church or organization that if you don't have it, it's time to do something to create it!

Remember, momentum has to have a starting place. When something good happens (by accident or with purpose), consider it the beginning of your momentum, and capture the enthusiasm of those you lead. You get the ball rolling, and let them push it. Pretty soon, it'll be going so fast that you can't keep up.

Back in the Day!!!

This is 1989 when Brian and I were dating. This is a pic from my house in Florida. Wow, I had some big hair!

God is GREAT!

I just wanted to share the goodness of God with you today, because He is so good to me. I had a rough morning. We all got up late and of all days, Tayler and Will had bad hair days. I had to fix both of their hair twice. When I finally got myself ready, already 5 minutes late for leaving, I couldn't find one of my shoes. This never happens, because I am pretty organized. I didn't have time to change, so I had to wear some shoes that looked terrible with my outfit. So when I arrived at work, late of course, my boss said " I have an early anniversary present for you, but I want you to have it today ". My year anniversary at work will be September 10. I opened a beautifully wrapped gift that had a pair of zebra Volatile shoes that I have been wanting for months. God used my boss to show me just how much He loves me. I am truly blessed and overwhelmed that the God who created the universe and all that is in it, cares that much for me and my petty problems. We are truly a blessed people.

A Must Read: Bucking the Media Trend on the Global Warming Crisis

NEW YORK CITY - Speakers at a conference on climate change are making the case that the alarmism behind the global-warming bandwagon is politically motivated, has nothing to do with science, and could affect the sovereignty of the U.S.

The second annual International Conference on Climate Change hosted by The Heartland Institute is well under way in New York City. More than 700 registrants have gathered in the Big Apple to hear more than 70 scientists -- representing the views of tens of thousands of their colleagues -- make the argument that media and environmental advocacy groups have it all wrong, that global warming is not a crisis.

One of the headlining speakers to open the event Sunday evening was European Union and Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus, who was welcomed with a standing ovation. Klaus, one of the most outspoken critics of manmade global warming in Europe, says those who propagate global-warming hysteria are like the communists of old Europe. Like global-warming alarmists, he stated, the communists did not listen to opposing views.

"They didn't even try to argue back," said Klaus. "They considered you a naïve, uninformed and confused person, an eccentric complainer....It is very similar now."

Klaus believes that politicians who propagate global warming hysteria only have one goal in mind: control of the public. "It is evident that the environmentalists don't want to change the climate," he said. "They want to change our behavior...to control and manipulate us."

And he warns that those same politicians wish to engage in energy rationing -- all because of a problem that he believes does not exist. Klaus concluded his speech with this remark.

"The environmentalists speak about saving the planet. We have to ask -- From what? And from whom?" said the EU leader. "I think I know [those answers] for sure. We have to save the planet, and us, from them."

Dr. Richard Lindzen, who has been Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT for over 25 years, was one of the keynote speakers on the opening day. He said global warming hysteria is more about a political agenda and has nothing to do with science.

"I think [there is] one point you should notice as one discusses the science, and that is that global warming alarm -- as far as I can tell -- has always been a political movement, a highly organized one," Lindzen observed. "And although it took me a while to realize this, opposing it has always been an uphill battle."

The MIT professor, one of the world's most respected atmospheric physicists, said that many of his good friends and colleagues have subscribed to global warming alarmism because they either fear for their jobs or see it as a way to get funding for scientific projects. He also discussed the use of supposed "climate models," and quipped that as scientists debate intelligent design, climate models are an example of "unintelligent design."

Lindzen contends that climate models are being fed erroneous information in order to get the results that global-warming alarmists want.

Dr. Michael Coffman is the CEO of Sovereignty International, a U.N. watchdog organization. During an interview at the conference with OneNewsNow, he explained that the basis of his skepticism regarding global warming comes from research he himself has conducted.

"During the 1980s and early 1990s, I lead a multimillion-dollar research effort on global warming and found that the data that was being collected just didn't support the hypothesis that man was causing global warming," says Coffman.

Therefore he concludes that any money thrown at fixing the alleged problem is a waste.

"Any amount of money that we spend on it is not going to change any temperatures whatsoever," he observes, arguing that every family in America will be affected. "Because depending upon what legislation is passed, it will actually cause every American family to spend at least two- to five-thousand dollars more a year...to try to support this effort to curb carbon-dioxide emissions."

Coffman warns that politicians are moving towards having an international tribunal established which will regulate carbon emissions. "Which means basically since carbon dioxide is involved in all elements of business in the United States, ...whoever does this controls the economy of the United States, and therefore our sovereignty," he cautions.

Later Monday a keynote speaker from Congress will be discussing the political aspect of global warming in greater detail.
