Zig Ziglar

I took my staff to one of the success/leadership seminars that Zig does yesterday. As usual the people who spoke were outstanding (and all very wealthy). The MC was a pastor from a large church in Dallas and his daughter sang 3/4 songs throughout the day. During his time to speak he actually talked about eternal life and gave somewhat of an invitation to accept Jesus Chrsit as Savior. I was really impressed at how all of the speakers talked very openly about how their faith has helped them!
It was sad to see Zig now...If you've ever been to one of his seminars you know how vibrant and active he was on the stage running from side to side, kneeling down on one knee and pointing his finger at the audience as he spoke in that low southern style. Unfortunately, last year he had a fall and hit his head which caused some minor damge and he now has some short term memory loss.
Now he sits on stage with his daughter asking him some questions that people most often want to know the answers to...He's still funny and insightful at 81 but she had pre-warned us that he might repeat himself some. He did say the same thing a few times but his daughter handled it very well and the audience overlooked it and applauded each time. It was like watching your grandfather...It was a thrill but heartbreaking at the same time.
I suppose he still travels because his name the the one most people recognize but I doubt he'll be able to do it too much longer.
Anyway, it was good to see him one more time!
