People just do not realize how much God has done for them. Think about this, God sent His only son to die for our sins so that we have a chance for salvation. Jesus knew no sin, but became sin and was therefore the ultimate sacrificial lamb. However, do we ever take the time to […]

Retail Deception
I told my daughter that I use to love this time of year. It was when the family got together to celebrate something special. The weather got colder and it felt like Christmas, but anymore it does not. It just seemed like things were so much simpler back in the 60’s and 70’s. Maybe they […]
Big Business
Why can’t companies just do the right thing to begin with. I bought some luggage about a year ago and with the first use, the seam ripped. I had to get on Facebook and post a negative review. I went online and sent them an email. They wanted me to take it to a corporate […]
Powerball
What would you do if you won 500 million or even 1 billion dollar Powerball? I expect millions of Americans to play the Powerball by tomorrow 23Aug2017 because the estimated value is 700+ million dollars. I expect a lot of you to say I will pay off loans or I will buy a new house […]
College Cost
I read an article by a Republican Senator about how colleges are affordable. Well in my humble opinion, this is partially true for the very wealthy and the very poor. We have become a nation where the rich get richer as always, but now the poor get everything handed to them and they owe nothing […]
Minimalist
I have been reading a 14 day devotional about becoming a minimalist. It is an interesting read and to be honest, it is not so much about being a minimalist as removing distractions in your life that keep you away from God. The author seems to be hung up why people by things and for […]
Business
My wife and I have a disagreement about businesses. While I agree that the goal of any business is to be successful and profitable, the question comes at what cost. Both of these have to be defined. What does it mean to be successful and profitable? Here is my definition of a successful company. One […]
Entitlement
This past Sunday, 6Nov16, I was driven to the airport by a young man who had two jobs, a taxi driver and an insurance salesman. This got me thinking about entitlement. This post is not about possessions, but about why do people think it is ok to take money and expect to live as one […]
Being greedy
Why is our country run by greed? What is that these people whose god is money hope to accomplish? I wish I knew. What I do know is that this upsets me. My local airport recently banned Uber and Lyft stating that it is state law that they must provide/do something. I looked up the […]
Doing the right thing
Why don’t companies just do the right thing? I work in a highly regulated environment and I am shocked by what I see when there is non-conforming product that is used as is and sent to the customer. I have heard people tell me they would not trust the product their company ships. Why? They […]
