      This video reminded me of my favorite definition of sacrifice:

      Sacrifice - To give up something good for something better.

      Hi Darren,

      I’ve never met you, but I’m a big fan of yours.

      Something I read recently goes like this: If you say yes to everything, you may be saying no to something very important.

      Heck, I probably got that from you:-)

      I’ll be out in Vegas around New Year’s. Any chance you may be performing or anything so I could visit?

      Darren, thanks for all you do.

      Michael Crosby
