Looks can be deceiving. Often times in our rush through the day we may glance someone’s direction, make a quick judgement that they look alright and then keep moving along.
How many times in a day do we say or hear the phrase “how are you doing?”
How many times do we truly mean it?
Would we know if someone actually is not doing well?
If we do sense that they are not doing alright will we stop, listen and offer some assistance, comfort or encouragement?
Everyone can use a hand from time to time. Everyone also includes you and me.
We try to be strong. We appear to be strong.
Often times we have to be strong but that doesn’t mean it would be nice to have some help carrying the load from time to time.
If we know how it feels to carry that heavy load that is all the more reason to be in tune with the load that others may be carrying. Stop, lean in and listen.
Maybe today you can help to lighten somebody else’s load. Helping them will actually help to lighten any load you may be carrying as well.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
