One wise person is stronger than ten leading citizens of a town! ~ Ecclesiastes 7:19 (New Living Translation)

Don’t dress that way – people will talk.
Don’t say things like that –
others won’t approve.
The rules of our parents?
The practice of our adult lives?
One cannot rule a country
based on the polls.
Leadership means standing in front and,
well,
leading.

God, help me listen to you
rather than the voices of disapproval
all around me.
Let me know the right
then give me courage
to fearlessly pursue that course.
