It's My Story and I'm Sticking To It
There are things that I think and believe that you may wholeheartedly disagree with me on but my hope is you will hear my heart rather than only see an ideal you don’t like. Let’s disagree but let’s do it with class and respect for our fellow man.
Before I even start, please accept my apologies. I try to make it a point not to post anything “reactionary” to events or issues. I like to take my time, process, think and then try my best to write a piece which is balanced. Today will not be that day. I’m sorry. I’m passed feeling … Continue reading Enough is Enough
This has been an interesting week as we’ve watched politicians question Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, about Facebook’s apparent data breach. Not that I mind them questioning the leader of a company or holding them accountable, but to listen to the line of questioning can be cringeworthy and in some cases flat-out absurd. It’s … Continue reading Burn The Witch
We disappoint ourselves so often that we stop believing it when we say, "I'm going to be healthier" or "I'm going to get that next promotion at work". We've disappointed ourselves so much that we stop before we even start.
The other day I walked down to the school to pick up my kids. Jenna normally does this but occasionally, South Orange County traffic makes it inevitable I will get the privilege to walk my kids home from school from time-to-time. As I was standing at the crosswalk, I was rather entertained as two 8-year-old … Continue reading Haymakers & Black Eyes
This week I picked up my copy of Finish by Jon Acuff. Making that even better—I was able to meet Jon when he was in Irvine, CA, at his book signing. It wasn't until after I started reading his book that I realized he single-handedly saved the Rocky movie franchise! How? I'm glad you asked. … Continue reading Eye of the Tiger
As Florida is left in the wake of Hurricane Irma today, I find the chatter on social media to be fairly predictable after catastrophic storms like Irma and Harvey. What is crazy to me is the hatred and venom that comes out of people when events like this happen. Take Katrina for instance. I remember … Continue reading Fool’s Gold
Shortly after Desert Storm and I returned to Germany, I was transferred to a new company for the last six months of my military commitment. When I got to the company, I couldn't believe the racial division that was going on in the unit. I remember thinking, "This is 1992! Shouldn’t we be past all … Continue reading The Fixer
Not that long ago, I was making lunch for my younger kids as they started (for what had to have been the 1 millionth time) the animated movie Toy Story 3. If you are familiar with the movie, the very beginning can be very emotional for parents. Like I said, I've been forced to watch … Continue reading Time Flies
The air was crisp but the sun shone bright in the Northwest Indiana sky. Christmas Eve would normally signal a time of excitement for a 13-year old, especially for me because my 14th birthday would be in three days. However, Christmas lost its magic and luster over the years and this was about to be, … Continue reading Unwanted
