Just made an observation I’ve never noticed before. I wasn’t able to put it into words until now. I just spent an hour with my mentor, Dick Foth. Dick is a former church planter and college president. He currently traffics in congressional circles doing ministry under the radar with people in high places who need a confidant. Dick has been a friend and mentor since we arrived in DC.

To be honest, this has been an incredibly hectic day! I have a ton of meetings and deadlines. But I noticed something as I was meeting with Dick. I wasn’t in a hurry. I’m never in a hurry when I meet with Dick. His wisdom has a calming effect. His friendship is a de-stressor in my life. So grateful for someone who’s been around the sun a few more times than me. When I’m with Dick it seems like my RPMs slow down!

Not even sure that I’m making a point. Just making an observation. And expressing gratitude for a ministry mentor.
