Interesting Quote
The following Leo Tolstoy quote was found in Peter Steinke’s Congregational Leadership in Anxious Times: Being Calm and Courageous No Matter What. I wish I’d read this book several years ago.
“I know that most men…can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.”

Wow and … ouch.
Isn’t that the truth? It all falls back on pride and it is so sad to see people that will never budge because of it. Not even for our God. This is a GREAT QUOTE!
Indeed. True. Painful, but true.
I am still so speechless. I will be there Thursday evening, but will be arriving fashionably late. Please don’t leave early.
