Earlier this week, I had a guest post over at Paul Sohn's blog.  I have gotten to know Paul, virtually, over the last several months and his blog is one that I've come to enjoy reading regularly.  He has a heart for God and for helping others get better at leading. This post is over […]

I've been reading Susan Cain's book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking and it has impacted me profoundly.  I will be doing a review of this book in a future blog post.  But, today I wanted to write about the common mis-perceptions that people seem to have about introverts.

Well, here we are.  Another Memorial Day.  A day where we take time to remember those that have fought so bravely in the Armed Services.  A day where we take the day off to spend with family and friends.  A day where we visit cemeteries to honor those that have passed on before us.  It's […]
