building or no building…is that the question?

It appears that my family is going to be out of our house for a bit with some needed repairs due to water damage. In fact, every wall that touches the outside will need to be gutted and replaced. Awesome stuff. We practically live in a piece of poop house. Funny thing is we really [...]

Bob Carlton at BLOSSOM 08

Bob Carlton shared this afternoon on “discovering leaders.” He asked three questions:
1. How were you discovered as a leader?
