Baccalaureate at Covenant Christian School: Erik Axsom taught the Hebrew word kabod, meaning weighty, or having substance, or being significant. What a great message for the graduates who now face adulthood where many decisions await them, some of them with lifelong implications.
Marketing your book seminar: a misnomer, sort of, since we authors learned we are not marketing a book, but are marketing ourselves as authors of books. We need to focus on the fact that we have something to say, and that something has weight or significance, or kabod.
NASA film of the world from outer space: Accompanied by awesome music, this film showed the utter majesty and complexity of our planet seen from outer space and the International Space Station.
