These days it seems that people really do not want to work. For some reason, it appears as all of them think they should come out of high school earning over 100k or they should earn as much as a person with a college education and if they do not, then I should not have […]

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses
I do not know about you, but I am sick and tired of hearing all of these excuses. My daughter whom I love dearly loves to make excuses. I have told her to stop with the excuses and accept the responsibility for your actions. This was brought on by a female celebrity whom I heard […]
Hospitality
We need to be careful how we treat others. Tonight I was reading a few verses on hospitality Romans 12:13 New International Version (NIV) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Hebrews 13:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people […]
Sick and Traveling
Wow it has been a week. Where has the time gone? Last Tuesday I got sick and as the week went on it got worse and worse. On top of that my wife and I traveled with our daughter to her new summer job which is a considerable distance away. It was sad to leave […]
Carry your cross
Matthew 16:24-26 New International Version (NIV) 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for […]

I understand that the parents do not want to hurt the kids feelings, but is it really appropriate to reward a person just for showing up? I remember when I was growing up, we would get trophies for best pitcher, […]

Most people have heard of the Boy Scout motto, Be Prepared! Some will live up to this saying by having just about everything possible on hand. I am sure you have met that person who has the utility tool that does 100 things. They will have a tool box that will have something for every […]
Am I doing what I am supposed to be doing?
I travel as a consultant and audit a lot of companies for compliance. I use to love this type of work, but recently I have been wondering am I really cut out for it. Do I have what it really takes to be exceptional at what I am doing. Not for the sake of man, […]
Breaking the rules
I read a story today about where a foster mom had set the rules of the house. The kids thought the rules took away from their fun time. They soon learned that if they kept the rules, that things worked more smoothly and instead of it taking away from their fun time, it actually gave […]
Be careful of the inputs
Not that long ago my wife and I got into a bit of an argument over a comment she made to me in the car. It made the comment that I like fantasy stuff, dragons and wizards. I do not want to be a wizard or a dragon and I certainly do not worship either […]
