I love what I do. But there are definitely parts of my job that I don’t enjoy. I’ve always been relational. That’s how God wired me.  I genuinely enjoy talking with people, hearing their stories, and learning about what’s going on in their lives. In fact, I can often remember…

This past week was spring break for my daughter, so we headed down to Panama City Beach – or as some like to call it, the “Redneck Riviera.” (IYKYK) We had the whole crew there – my wife, daughter, in-laws, my brother-in-law, even my son and his girlfriend.  And it…

How is it going for you at work these days? Are you struggling to get…
