Here’s something for poetry Friday. Hat tip to Steve McCoy one of our authors at TheHighCalling.org for pointing me to Billy Collins on YouTube. (Here’s a link to Steve’s articles at THC.org.)

Just found this via a Twitter from Michael Hyatt. It’s five parts–and he spends the intro of part one centering everyone on the reason for the industry with bits and pieces of his personal testimony. “At 16, I found religion… and became an atheist… It was my first faith experience–being an atheist.”

Later he gets into a list of specific things in the industry that encourage him. As he says in part 5, “It’s easy to complain about your industry, but some retailers are experiencing real growth.” You can read a summary of the presentation at his blog.

Here’s the first part:
