They say it’s lonely at the top and they mean it.  Anyone who engages in leadership in the footsteps of Christ know that the labors involved are intense and often overlooked.  The fact is the most important jobs are often the most thankless.  Those who engage in leadership have to accept the loneliness of the grind.  Lonely of course because no one else is there but not lonely if we know Jesus.  In fact, Jesus wants to work with us.
