What next?
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. -Winston Churchill¹
If anyone is familiar with change, it was Winston Churchill. The worlds owes him a large debt for his efforts in resisting evil on a global scale during his day. Courage and leadership allowed him to change the mind of a continent and bring together a global unity the world has not seen since. His grandson stood about 20 feet from me speaking at Brown's palace in downtown Denver.
A hotel full of history, it has changed many things to maintain modernity without sacrificing the affluence and prestige it is known for. His grandson, Sandy, really did a beautiful job imploring us to never settle for a national leader who does not measure up to his grandfather. A tall order.
Today , Reasology is following this example of courage and planning to embark and grow in to some exciting new directions next year! We have planned to launch a new initiative based on recent and exciting partnerships. We also plan to launch a marriage series next year, expand our professional series and continue to go deeper into God and Nature. God has called us to this, we gladly and humbly follow where God is leading us. Shakespeare and Solomon both recognized that life has seasons, make the most of your time when it comes. This is illustrated beautifully in one of Shakespeare's most famous poems, "All the world's a stage".
All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -William Shakespeare²
