Circle of Trust

These are part of the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin…

“And she’s buying a stairway to heaven…”

Many have debated what the song is about. Robert Plant, who wrote the song, even said he thinks it’s about something different every time he listens to it.

He also said when asked once, “the song is basically just about shallow materialism and greed. Plaint claimed that it was about a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back.”

So think about those lyrics one more time.

The stairway can’t be bought gentlemen.

It’s earned.

We at F3 understand this better than most because we are HIM’s. We understand anything that has value requires hard work that’s earned with high impact.

So, I’ll leave you with a quote from one of my favorite movies Saving Private Ryan (spoiler alert)…when he’s about to die at the end, the commander Tom Hanks says to Private Ryan, Matt Damon…”Earn This…”

These were the words of a dying man left behind for all of us to remember and live with each day.

Keep earning it just like you did today gentlemen and earn your stairway to heaven.

Prayers.

Tonka and Elway had a race at one point down the hill…man it was close!
