Motivational Quote: "Failure is a learning experience. It can be a gravestone or a stepping stone." -Bud Hadfield

Thought #1: Failure is also inevitable for human efforts. So, we need to be prepared to handle it well!

Thought #2: I'm flying to Kansas next week to go to a meeting about mission opportunities. I'm hoping the pilot has had all of the learning experiences he needs.

Moving toward the Horizon,
