Parental Power

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

I am writing a series of sermons for the upcoming D6 campaign for our pastors. I want to run the introduction of sermon #2 by this group of thinkers and get some feedback on it. I realize that you do not have the major points of the sermon here but I don’t think it is [...]

Surprise–different car

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

When you travel, you might have preferred airlines, hotels, and rental car companies.
Early in my traveling I had a multiple-city trip. I stood in line for twenty minutes waiting for the rental car agent to give me my keys. When my turn came, I stepped up and told him my name. He informed me [...]

2007 YETeam

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

What do you get when you combine six girls and six guys from six states, three leaders who really care about young people and send them to eleven churches to sing, play and do drama? You get the…

Intelligent walking

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

When you go for a walk it does not really matter where you go or what path you take as long you walk a safe direction. But when you take that walk behind a mower it requires some foresight and an intelligent designed path. A walk behind the mower should take you on swath that [...]

Time and Dates

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Time denotes a period, duration, season, tempo, or an occasion. Time seems to take forever if you are waiting for the driver in front of you to go now that the light has turned green. Time seems to fly by when the jerk behind you is blowing his horn because you did not go fast [...]

Big Apple and an Anniversary

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

With this title, I am sure you are expecting me to write about Apple Computer’s anniversary. They first incorporated in January of 1977 as Apple Computer and now 30 years later on January 9, 2007 Steve Jobs announced the new name for Apple Computer as Apple. This is to reflect that they are much more [...]

Top Five Books

Monday, June 18th, 2007

I read less than I once did. There was a time in my recent past that I read around 100-150 books every year. This really opens your mind to a wealth of information and learning. I have my favorite authors and books. I believe that every leader should strive to be a consistently good reader [...]

Fly or Drive?

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

For most people, the answer is easy but not everyone’s answer is the same. Some base it on mileage or time, others on budget, and still another issue is luggage. For me it can be a bit of all of the above. It also is important if you are traveling alone or in a group. [...]

Emotions and decisions

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

For parents or leaders, making correct decisions is hard enough without emotional strings. But add the emotions and most people would rather have a root canal than deal with some decisions, fearing how people will respond. Proverbial wisdom reminds us that when we fear people, whether we avoid talking to them or avoid them all [...]
