A lot of Americans dismiss royalty - but in contrast to the modern American politician, here is a woman of faith, unashamed of the gospel, humble in demeanor even though raised high by her situation. Os Guinness reflects on the faith, humility and service of Queen Elizabeth II

Yes, He CAN Be Trained! A Monday thought - about the crucial role of wingmen. The stunning realization of a disciple in progress (that's me...) , that my wingmen - in this case a mentor from 40 years prior - can look inside me in seconds and see what I cannot! That's a long-term well-developed benefit of discipleship. Check it out.
