Watching my 3-year old son run and play outside without a care in the world, and all I can muster is "thank you Jesus".
Refueling often is a great point, that I'm afraid most of us think about but seldom do. But, if you think about it - if you don't refuel and lead your self, where are you going to lead others? If the engine runs out of coal, the rest of the train isn't going very far and there will be a lot of unused track ahead.
Good thoughts Ron.
I would add that the agenda should be given to everyone attending in advance, with a note encouraging them to think through the topics. This will facilitate discussion once the meeting has started....
I definitely share a lot of your sentiments. I speak quite regularly, several times a week usually, and being an introvert, I can certainly relate to number 9! I just want to shake a few hands and then hit the car and the hotel....but it doesn't work that way, and it is helpful for people to connect with the speaker afterwards (just think about the reverse situation, when you are in the audience).

Great review - I can tell your comments are from experience and not just theoretical. Right now, I'm using my iPhone as my e-reader! But you've made me think about the Kindle. I'm also still considering an iPad....I present our ministry to pastors in their offices quite frequently, and I need something to play videos on that will really pop. So, I'm still leaning towards Apple to solve that issue for me. If you really get tired of your iPad and you'd like to sell it....let me know! :^)
