While I’m working up my Part 3 post for Good Pastor… Bad Leader (see part 1 & part 2 HERE and HERE) I figured I’d drop in a movie review for you to chew on. It’s not my own, It was published by my pseudo-friend/acquaintance Scott Firestone IV (not that he’s a bad friend or… [Read more…]

You can thank me later. Brandi found this site the other night and we’ve recently been spending way too much time on it. I’m not kidding. Anyway, for laughter’s sake I thought I would share it with you, my friends, my readers. The link below is a copy of a funny family email. There are… [Read more…]

Could it be I had become my worst nightmare, an ineffective hack refusing to change? That was a tough pill to swallow. I had become like the kid in sports growing up who had ALL the natural talent in the world, but refused to practice or hone his skill. By the time he was in… [Read more…]

I had a very open and honest conversation with someone who is very quickly becoming a life mentor to me. We first met approximately 9 years ago, and even with limited communication every month, or a few, or a little each year, it seems like he completely sees through all obstacles and fronts that I… [Read more…]

My brain works in a funny way. Well, I suppose everyone’s brain works in a funny way to them, but mine just seems especially funny. That’s right, I said it, my brain is more special than yours. You can insert whatever “special” comments and/or jokes you need to right there, it doesn’t bother me. If… [Read more…]
