Your advise resonated with me personally and professionally and have shared many of the things you shared with us with our Management Team. All great reminders ... We're glad your experience at Northpoint was a good one. There are many things that make attending NPCC a "magical experience" ... we have a leader in Andy Stanley who has a vision, we are reminded each and every week that our mission is "to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ" and it is hard to argue that God's presence flows in and through the place in our worship, our baptism and our service. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us both professionally and personally and I appreciate NPCC inviting you to come speak with us! ps - I loved your wife's letter to Rush Limbaugh. Please tell her so for me! Mr. Cokerell,

I am very new to training a horse and for some strange reason I find myself the owner of a 2,000lb, 6 year old deaf clydesdale. Talk about a challenge. I have been reading how to best train him, deal with him, treat him and found that the Natural horsemanship the way to go. Your blog here was quite similar to what I have been finding. Be careful of your response because you don't know how your 2,000lb animal will react. Earn his respect and trust. And for the last piece of truth for me is "Be careful what you say and do as they are watching everything you do and everything you say and judging you.” And just because he can't hear me, doesn't mean he doesn't understand how I am feeling. A horse doesn't lie and you can't lie to a horse.
