The past month saw much driving. My wife and I have traveled thousands of miles to share news about the work of Extension Training.

This is a great contrast to the proverbial “Sunday afternoon drive.” Our travels have been very purposeful with a specific destination in mind…HOME!

Leaders face the task of casting vision and mapping the direction to reach the goal. Unless leaders know where they are going, it will be impossible to finish the journey. Spiritual leadership needs to be purposeful with a specific destination in mind…HEAVEN!

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Never take your eyes off the goal.
2) Remember the map is found in the greatest atlas. (If you do now know what I mean, write me.)
3) There is nothing wrong with stopping to ask for help if you lose your sense of direction.
4) It is vital to make preparation before starting the journey.

Remember, we are not just out for a drive in leading others. We need to know where we are going and what it will take to get there. The results will be worth it!
