Educational Speaker gets VIP Treatment

I arrive McAllen, TX to spend a few days with Sharyland ISD - Teen Suicide and As I get off the plane I see this big welcome to an elementary speaker and author. 

A humbling experience when you realize again it's not always about you. 

Sometimes you wish it was. Especially when traveling in pain realizing you're about to go through Spinal Surgery in a couple of weeks. Times like this you wish you had family with you taking the journey alongside you. 

I head to Edmonton and Nashville, TN after this visit to Sharyland. I'll make it. I'll do my thing. Nobody notices accept the audience you present to that day. It's not why we do it though. It's not about the pictures, hugs, standing ovations. It's about the lives we save and the hearts we touch. 

Just sometimes, you need that hug. Especially when it's a Sunday.
