My organization went through another painful transition last week.  We made the decision to close some of our retail stores, and along with this closure came some loss of jobs for people that I have known a long time and worked with everyday. I have been through this situation many times…

I get tired of it happening to me. Yet many times I am part of it happening to others. I’m talking about being gracious to others in the workplace. I am at a company that I would consider “a great place to work. “  The atmosphere is positive, folks are kind to one…

It’s that time of year where we re-orient ourselves, think about the past year and consider new things we want to accomplish for the year that is coming up.  So along those lines, here is one thing I’d like us all to consider:  How can we be a better Christian in the…

I write about doing this every year now it seems.  And every year it gets a little harder and harder to do. Saying “Merry Christmas” to all those folks that we come in contact with at this time of year. Are you afraid to say it to you co-workers because you don’t want…

I got a chance to do it this week. With a vendor that is from the secular industry. I was able to openly pray before our meeting started. Now I realize that I work in an environment that not only allows this action but actually encourages it.  And even though…
