We spend a lot of time obsessing about crap we have no control over. We get worked up about whatever outrage talk radio or cable news spoon feeds us — outrage that seldom makes an iota of difference in our lives. So, that’s why I love speaking at annual chamber banquets. They really mean something in our lives.
Hang on, stay with me for a minute.
Because it’s not about the chicken dinner. It’s not about the political speeches. It’s all about , being giving ordinary people who are in the trenches to make their towns better a moment in the spotlight
They’re the ones who make the difference in our lives. They, not Justin Bieber affect our lives.
It’s fun to see their chests swell with pride. It’s fun to see their families’ big smiles.
They a get a plaque. We get a better quality life.
It’s a good deal for everyone.
I was at the banquet in Wesson last night and really enjoyed listening to you. My brother was the police officer that was honored and yes his chest did swell along with his head but he is well deserving and we are sooooooo proud of him. Thank you so much for coming and my kids loooovvvve the book.

That’s what makes moments like that special.
