Give it away. Give it away. Give it away now! One of the big news items this week was Mark Zuckerberg. Mr. Zuckerberg became a father for the first time – a baby girl, Max. Even bigger than Zuck becoming a father was the announcement he made along with the birth news. Zuckerberg wrote an […]
A quick look back
4 months and counting Recently, I was stunned when I realized this site has only been live for a little over 4 months – December 4, 2013. I’ve been busy. On top of working my “real” job, helping take care of 4 kids and assist Kia when needed, I’ve written over 50 posts since December. It […]
Bigger and Bolder
Vision My 2014 Word of the Year is VISION. I want a clear picture of what I see and God sees for my life. Part of the reason I chose that word was I wanted to dream bigger and bolder. To this point, it’s been more systematic thinking about what it means to have vision […]
It’s okay. You’re not alone.
Time for a road trip. Last weekend, Kia and I returned from a 13 day road trip with our 4 kids. We logged over 3000 miles and 9 states of driving. Our goal was my dad and step-mom in West Palm Beach, Florida, but along the way we stopped to visit family and friends. Some […]

Focused intensity over time = Steve Jobs

Your Cheese is Going to be Moved. What are you Going to do?
I recently came across this article from the USA Today about the decline in the cable and satallite subscriptions across the country. Here is the crux of what the article says: The country’s eight largest publicly traded pay-TV companies, representing about 85% of the subscriber total, had reported their results for the third quarter by […]
I am not participating in this recession…
I don’t follow Dave Ramsey much, but our church showed this promo video on Sunday and I was really struck by it. I do have a choice in what I do, and how I respond to financial situation all around me. I hope you enjoy it…I am an American, and I am not participating […]
