Do you ever think about why some people are leaders, whether in high offices such as governors of states, mayors of cities, or executives in large corporations? What about people that are leaders of organizations closer to your local community, like leaders in your church, coaches of sports teams, or leaders in your neighborhood. What about yourself? Are you in a particular position of leadership or have you felt that you should be in a certain position of leadership?
Maybe you haven’t asked these questions. Maybe you have just been living out your life, doing what you think you are supposed to be doing, and not really wondering why you are involved in what you are doing and where you are doing it.
INTRODUCTION
This morning, Friday, May 17, 2019, I was moved to think about my cousin Davie McLaughlin who passed away in December 2004. In recalling memories of Davie and I, I was filled with the happiness of what we had as kids doing things together and what we shared as adults.
Dave passed away as a result of a brain tumor. I was invited by his mother (my Aunt Vi) and his sisters (Kathi and Dori) to prepare the memorial service and speak at the service, along with their pastor. I did so. I visited and talked with the family about Dave and the service. I prepared the order of service and the bulletin. I prepared and gave a message titled, “Davie Took Me Places”. I chose topic because, mostly as kids and then into adulthood, that’s what Davie did. He took me places I would have never thought of or known to go to without him. Our experiences were fun and memorable.
In this writing, I want to share with you the happening that inspired me to write this document and many things that were included in the Memorial Service.
Our 50th High School Reunion for Bishop McDevitt's Class of 1967 was a SMASH HIT. The accolades are OVER THE TOP. We received many great comments and congrats on the entire weekend. Facebook was lit up before and after the reunion weekend. Our gatherings after the reunion have a new energy and appreciation for one another.
Have you ever looked for that certain job, opportunity, house, or car that was going to be exactly what you wanted, that was going to be the place where you wanted to be, that was going to provide the money and the satisfaction that you were looking for? Sure you have! Don't be shy. Admit it. I have. As a matter of fact, today, I discovered a job that I have been searching for, searching for a long time. Let me tell you about it.
YOUnited States of America - Understanding The Bill of RightsJAMES EUGENE BARBUSH
YOUnited States of America
Our Freedom Gives Us Rights,
But With Rights Comes Responsibility.
So How Do We Use Our Freedom Well?
We need to relearn and/or learn the principles that support the Bill of Rights. We need to do this in light of today's politics so that we can influence and teach others what our founding documents mean.

THE BATTLE THAT RAGES FOR YOUR MIND
WAKE UP WARNING 2019
Message by Pastor Carter Conlon,
Spoken on March 8, 2015
Spoken at Times Square Church, New York City
Publshed on YouTube January 2019
Transcribed by James E. Barbush
"I want to talk to you this morning about THE BATTLE THAT RAGES FOR YOUR MIND. And you have to be aware that Satan is coming against this generation in an unprecedented measure.
He is attacking this generation to take the thoughts of God out of the minds of an entire society.
He's doing it through the school system.
He's doing it in our colleges.
He's doing it in the marketplace.
He's doing it in the halls of government.
And he's even doing it in the house of God.
Trying to eradicate everything that comes from the mind of God, to blind an entire generation, to take captives, as many as he can, for the scripture says, he knows that his time is short.
In the Book of Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 5 to 16, Jesus provides us with His instructions on prayer. In those verses, Jesus says 3 times, “When you pray”. Thus, prayer is not an option. It is a requirement, a commandment. Jesus tells us what to do and what not to do when we pray. He starts and ends with what we are not to do, and between those, He tell us what to do. And after that, He tells us that our Father knows what we need.
Introduction: The Purpose of This Document
The mission has been placed before Christians by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the head of the church, “Go and make disciples”. In doing that, the Christian witness is challenged in many ways. Most often, the challenges come with rebuke, name calling, and other non-sense, especially when trying to discuss political topics in the context of religion in the midst of the 2016 Presidential Election.
With less than one month to the election on November 8, 2016, social media, especially Facebook, is covered with information, some good information, but mostly bad information. Many of the posts are rude, meant to demean and ridicule, meant to say someone is stupid, bigoted, racist, or having a phobia of some kind. That often comes when discussing politics and carrying out The Great Commission. Often, there is no reasonable discussion or debate. It’s what I call, “A Hit and Run”, where someone forwards a picture with some rude words on it to attempt to make a point. When posting, the messenger has nothing to say in his own words. It’s just a shot at someone to say they disagree with a certain position or behavior.
In trying to present the Gospel, to witness The Good News to others, and with having seemingly little in positive results, I have wondered how Jesus would do it. I’ve considered that. At times, when Jesus was approached with a question that was intended to trap Him, He responded with a question that was intended to make a point without getting into the discussion. Sometimes, His question dissipated the ones asking the question. Sometimes, He explained the answer to the people or just His disciples.
I’ve often entered into discussions with people by putting out meaningful comments and basing them on truth. That approach may or may not result in good debate and discussion. Many times, I stay out of certain “attacks” because the messengers are not likely interested in meaningful discussion. They are only interested in jabbing someone with their point to disturb them. And they can do that in a post by hiding behind the social media platform without putting themselves in a face-to-face discussion.

THE WISDOM OF PRIDWEN 1967
“18 STATEMENTS” IN OUR YEARBOOK
To My Classmates,
Class of 1967 of Bishop McDevitt High School
In preparing for our 50th Class Reunion, we can go to our senior yearbook, Pridwen 1967, to look for what it said about our class; to see if there is something there that spoke to us from 1967. What is found turns out to be quite interesting and profound.
The purpose of a high school yearbook is to highlight all the students, all the faculty, all the special activities during the year, and special accomplishments of students, classes, and organizations. Pridwen 1967 does that.
As we page through Pridwen 1967, we can discover something else that can be understood to be quite unique and quite profound. In our search to discover something spoken by the Class of 1967, we found 18 statements distributed throughout the book.
In a review of those statements, we discover that the 18 statements seem to converge around one main theme of Pridwen 1967 – PEACE – PEACE on Earth and Peace in Individual Hearts. Here is how we can arrive at that conclusion.
The Book Of 1 Thessalonians
THE THESSALONIANS
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Paul Remembers Them
Paul Expresses Their Goal And Hope
Paul Advises Them On The Lord’s Return
Paul’s Letter To The Thessalonians is one of tender care, love, concern, and hope.
Paul expresses his remembrance of the events and purposes of his past visits.
Paul encourages them to remember those visits.
Paul remembers the help he sent to them.
Paul expresses his tender care for them.
Paul, as usual, advises them on how to live and to focus on the goal and hope.
The Book Of Colossians
GOD’s MYSTERIOUS PLAN of CHRIST’S SUPREMACY
---Freedom Through Christ
---New Life With Christ
---Your Confident Hope
GOD’s MYSTERIOUS PLAN IS REVEALED
This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now this message has been revealed to God’s people. For God wanted His people to know that
the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too.
And this is the secret:
Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing His glory. God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ Himself. In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
