Christmas time came a little later this year due to the timing of the Thanksgiving Holiday – and it is still such a wonderful time! It is amazing how everyone (including our family!) is rushing around trying to make sure we get all the gifts, attend all the tree lightning ceremonies, and…

 This year we were fortunate to be able to spend Thanksgiving with some of our extended family  (cousins, Aunts, etc.).  This hasn’t always been the case and made it even more of a special time since we don’t get to see them that often. At work on Monday this holiday gives…

I love to talk.  Just ask my wife! I am certain that God gifted me with such a wonderful spouse because He knew I needed to use a lot of words each day and she has the best listening skills of anyone I know. She will listen to me rant and rave…

Halloween was just last week as you know. Since moving to Nashville we have been holding a joint neighborhood party in our front driveway that has grown over the years to be attended by over 60-70 people.  We give out free candy (of course) but some of our neighbors also…

I get tired of it. I get tired of always being nice to everyone even when they go behind my back at the office and take credit for the work that I did. I get tired of people saying they are going to do something to my face then when…

I got challenged on it. Twice. Someone at my workplace asked me why I acted the way I did when it came to treating others the way I treated them.  Even when they noticed someone was rude to me in a meeting, or a different person took all of the credit for…

Wow- I’ve found him all around me lately. While at work, the enemy is coming at me from every turn.  People are not being kind to each other.  Meetings are getting out of control.  Deadlines are not being met, it isn’t pretty. At home, the enemy is inside my head and tells…

On our family vacation this summer to Washington DC, we were on a semi crowded bus tour of the monuments.  Someone sat down next to my wife’s Mom and Dad (I love them too much to call them my in-laws!) and as they were talking and exchanging pleasantries the person…

It was a frustrating kind of day. We asked our doctor to call in a refill for a prescription, and when I went to pick it up, I realized they had called in the wrong one. I found out that the teacher didn’t turn in the forms we gave them and now the burden…
