Sarah and I took some Belmont Students backstage at the Opry for a show on Saturday night. It was a great evening. It was Marty Stuart's birthday and Keith Urban sang a few songs and then joined Marty for a few songs. Dierks Bentley showed up as a surprise guest and played with him as well. Because of Sarah's job at Belmont, she has gotten to know Ricky Skaggs through various events. Ricky played the show and after, we ended up talking with him for about 30 minutes. This guy loves Jesus. First of all, it consumes his conversation and he is excited to talk about what the Lord is doing in his life. It was inspiring. One thing about some of the successful people that we have spent time with(again, sometimes through Sarah's job) is that there is an ease about them. They make you feel good about yourself. I don't know where I heard this quote or who said it but it goes something like this: "Those who are truly great make you feel like you too can become great." I hope that with any level of success, people will feel like that around me.

The quote you were referring to is from Mark Twain and it's one of my all time fav quotes! : )
