@NilsSmith I think term limits could be a part of the solution

There's a lot I don't understand about politics! A lot! But I think the incident with Mitch McConnell today is just another example of a broken system that is allowing people to stay in office too long or not removing leaders even when they're clearly unfit to stay in office. It's on both sides of the aisle. It's in all aspects of the government. McConnell, Pelosi, Feinstein, Biden, Fetterman... and the list could go on. I pray Mitch McConnell is okay. I also hope he'll take a break and get whatever help he needs as he's clearly not okay. I don't know the answer and I'm just reiterating the problem that we're all aware of, but we don't seem to be having meaningful conversations about how to effectively address it. It's time.

Amy keeps the “business” side of business as mission running. Thankful for her. @A_L_Ralls

Interesting start #ThreadsApp

Don't have time to read? Turn off the TV, get up early, use a Kindle or physical book and read while waiting in lines.

Marcel Proust said this about reading..."On aime toujours un pen à sortir de son, à voyager, quand on lit." (We always like to get outside of ourselves, to travel, when we read.) Having access to great minds through reading is so critical for my personal and Kavanah's growth.

Two take aways from my sabbatical so far...quick 🧵
