I loved hearing the body of this message and kind of like the way I read it. Perhaps the 2:46 reading is worth a listen :-).
Everyday Leadership. That’s always been my mission and delight. Check out this reminder. Jennifer and I heard our pastor this morning recite a moving prayer. Well, that’s what authorized leaders are supposed to do. I tried to transcribe it, but there were a couple words I couldn’t pick up. So, I wondered: well maybe he’s quoting someone else. Indeed, Google led me to Rev. Dr. William Barber II. OK, a bigger authorized leader; my wife told me he’s the head of The Poor People’s Campaign. Ah, so now I get the eloquence; no offense to Fr. Leo who is inspiring to his parishioners. But wait…
At the bottom of the Barber quote at TheNation.com, I noticed the reference to the real author, Cameron Bellm. Turns out she’s “just” a contemplative mother of two little ones. But, man, can she write. What little things can you write, share, say, or do this week – perhaps inspired by Cameron Bellm – to pierce these long dark days with Leadership Light? Without further ado, Cameron Bellm’s words and emphasis. She is an everyday leader, surely leading with her best self:
Thank you for sharing her writing.
May we who are self-confident enough to assert the primacy of our rights enshrined in the Constitution over the inane one-size-fits-all mandates of some state governors and mayors help the victims of such mandates disobey them when government tries to enforce them.
Hi Dan Thank you for sharing this deeply moving message. I hope you Jen and your family are all safe and healthy. God Bless

So beautiful! I too enjoyed hearing the body of this message. Thanks for sharing, Dan!
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
