Academy of Religious Leadership

This year’s theme for the event was, “Innovation and Leadership.”  In attending and participating in the Academy of Religious Leadership (ARL) last month I had one feeling that struck me more than anything, “I’ve found … Continue reading Academy of Religious Leadership

Today is a wonderful day! Today I have the joy of celebrating my wife Allison on her birthday. The day started off very well with her favorite pancakes as breakfast in bed, thanks to friends from church who brought back the Snoqualmie Pancake mix from Washington recently. It will include a visit to a local ice cream parlor later, and hopefully lots of well wishes … Continue reading Birthdays, Memories and Gratitude

Social Leadership

Last week I was greatly humbled by blogger and thinker Julian Stodd when Julian wrote and reflected in “Who is Timothy?” Julian and I have never met in person, but are connected through social media. I have found much of Julian’s thoughts, reflections and questions over the past couple of years thought provoking and helpful for my own thought. So, thank you Julian for last … Continue reading Social Leadership
