Being an Example      

      Actions speak louder than words. This is a great truth for all to remember. It is especially important for parents, as children want to learn and are very watchful of a parent’s every action and listen carefully to all that is spoken. They are learning.

Foundation Values

       What principles do we value? A couple of weeks ago we participated in a small workshop conference that included a discussion on foundational principles for our organizations.

Mike Lewis with recent trial team

       During our discussion, we identified quality, loyalty, character, integrity, and excellence as foundational principles upon which all other or future successes derive. Certainly this list is not exhaustive, and perhaps in some ways may be redundant.

       The principles we discussed were similar to wh ...

Law Day, Plus a Graduation

     Fifty years ago President Eisenhower established May 1 of every year as "Law Day." Law Day is a national day of recognition of the principal of government under law, as opposed to rule by individuals.

     Government under law is essential for a free society. We will discuss further next week how the law is the founding principle of our country. It is important for us to review our commitment to the ideals on which our country was founded in order for us to have liberty. This foundation is the basis of all opportunity and equity within our American society.

     This past week we also celebrated a law school graduat ...

     Having a heart for others seems to be a prerequisite to having a transforming impact. This is where we are so proud of our L & D team. They are able to step out of their daily jobs in order to make a difference. They have a heart for students - I’ve seen it!

The Unexpected

     How often do really face the unexpected? Of course, many times the unexpected is a pleasant surprise, or even something beautiful. Last Thursday morning we woke up to an unexpected covering of snow. While we may have had to adjust some plans, it certainly was a beautiful morning!

     Unexpected beauty, unexpected surprises, unexpected visits, and unexpected treats are all fun to experience. The unexpected is many times part of what makes life so much fun. Presents during the holidays are always better when unexpected.

     Of course, as with most ...
