When I travel I tend to read books from genres I would not ordinarily read. I prefer classics, history, and theology. But this week it was Thiel’s Zero to One.

In it he (and/or his co-author) penned this zinger: “Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius.”

Because of my spiritual concerns for those I care about, and because I have remaining loyalties to ground-up, local, individual religious liberty and sanctity of human life convictions, this zinger struck a deep chord.

Who do you know that is a man or woman of courage and conviction in action? The question answers itself.
