7 Degrees!




Notice the temp in that pic above...


7 degrees! 

That was taken from my car's dashboard.

Let's just say it was a bit of a brisk run this morning! 

Remember me telling you that I taught a brief church security workshop the other day?

Well, I did. If you didn't read it, go back a couple emails and you'll see it. 

Anyway, I love having the opportunity to spread the word on this PeaceWalker approach with people. 

It's great to hear feedback once in a while... So, it made my day to hear from Jim, the Private PeaceWalker member who brought me in to his church to train his team. 

He went to the trouble to write a very thoughtful email to me of what some of the attendees said about using the concepts that they learned in our session together! 

I thought you'd like to hear it...

Craig,

At last night's Cor Valor class, I was closing the class (in Craig Gray fashion) with a little reflection about the difficulty of respecting and appreciating people who are "different".

Dan (57) is a supervisor trying to get one of his people to just fill out a time card, completely and on time. The person, for weeks, has not come even close to doing that simple task. Dan said that, prior to Tuesday's seminar, he was planning to give a "Do this, or else" mandate. Now he's strategizing how to use some of the tools you described to help it resolve well. More to come on that one....

In another connection, Debbie shared that her women's prayer group was last night talking about the Old Testament story where God is trying to get Moses to be His spokesperson to Pharaoh in Egypt. Moses is not buying it. "I have a speech problem!" "Can't do it!" Apparently Moses didn't think God would be much help :). Then..... God proposed "Plan B" - "We'll have your brother Aaron be the spokesperson." Even GOD uses "plan B" when Plan A doesn't work!
In short, you're making a impact! (and all the rest of the students got to hear about it through Charles' and Dan's examples)

In short, you're making a impact!

All In a Day's Work! 

I am always grateful to hear how this PeaceWalker message is changing and protecting lives in small and not so small ways. Thank you Jim for bringing me in and sharing the stories from people using the training! 

It's amazing the impact of even a short training session can have on your life, let alone knowing (and using) the whole approach!

If you want to hear more about this approach, now's your chance!

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
