Let’s face it.  We all go through tough times in our lives.  For those of you who say, “I’ve had a great life and nothing really bad has happened to me.”  I would say, “Hold on! Your time is coming.” 

The one Latin phrase that I really remember from my two years of Latin in high school is:  “Vita est Dura.”  Life is hard.  I have found it true that scattered among the joyous times of life are the tough times.

I have neglected my blog for quite some time, because frankly the tough times have overwhelmed me.  It is only by looking back at how God has carried me through other tough times, that I am certain He will carry me now.  Both in our personal and “leader” lives we will be faced with tough times.  How on earth can we push through?
