Sqwak...Sqwak...feeling like a parrot!

Read this article from Mac (my pastor) this morning and felt it needed repeating...thus the parrot thing...i mean come on haven't you ever been around a kid and said that he is a parrot because he repeats everything!

Skills of Outstanding Leaders

Perseverance & Persistence

by Mac Hammond

Perseverance is all too rare a commodity these days. Theodore Giesel's first children's book was rejected by twenty-three publishers. The 24th publisher sold six million copies. Years later, "Dr. Suess" died knowing his perseverance resulted in entertaining and educating millions of children.

The value of perseverance is highlighted in many places in the Bible. For example, Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Persistence is a vital quality for leaders today.

My question for you is, "Are you being tempted to quit where you need to persevere?"
