true leadership

Attended in order to support and assist with transportation a number of students from here who participated in true-ne.com recently.  We traveled 1200 miles to do so - all safely.

Leadership, of course, isn't always "safe".  Sometimes a true leader has to step up - after all, she/he is the one with a vision for what could and should be!  Whatever the cost, even if it leads to sacrificing one's self, a leader must... well, lead!  As a coach once quipped, Who's going to take one for the team?

I took one... for the team. And please don't be asking, as has nearly everyone that I meet since last Sunday evening, What did you do to your eye?  I didn't do it.  The head of the player guarding me did it.  My cheek bone.

We won.  After I had substituted out.
