What if I knew the answer to the question? I ask myself a lot of questions and it’s VERY rare that I am 100% confident of the answer. But what if I knew…THE answer…every time… And what if I only had 3 questions I could ask to get the full true answer that I couldContinue reading “What If…”

Do you know how hard it is to do things? Any things… How about juggling? When’s the last time you tried to juggle? How about dunking a basketball? How about drawing a horse? How about making a good cup of coffee? How about going to Uganda to be a nurse for the summer? How aboutContinue reading “70% Failure = Hall of Fame…”

I recently read a story about a ring. It was a normal class ring from a little high school in Pennsylvania. It was in the 40s. Two buddies (Skinner and Bressi) went to the same high school. One got his high school ring (Bressi) and the other did not. When the war broke out theyContinue reading “The Ring Part 2…”

There are lots of rings. In fact, I recently learned how to do a ring tone on my phone. Haven’t actually used it…but I did learn how to do it.

A very long time ago someone once told me, “Value = What Someone is Willing to Pay” I’ve heard so many times over the years from businessContinue reading “What’s It Worth…”

I’ve been in AZ for about 10 days now and it will probably take another week or so to acclimate but I’m here. I feel like I’ve gone back to college though because my living room is two folding chairs and my bed is an air mattress. I work in a coffee shop most ofContinue reading “Norm!…”

Since I’ve been back the pain has increased. Harder to breathe. Tough to figure out what to do. I have always looked at figuring out big decisions as “following the crumbs”. I believe God is already working and figuring out what He’s up to is simply a matter of looking around and following the crumbsContinue reading “Midas Whale…”

Jeff has taught me something. Life is relatively simple. He craves the simplest of things… Warmth. Food. Kindness. I am about to return to Colorado and the pain is increasing. A friend of mine said…”It seems almost cruel to come back” I think of it differently. I think of it like Jeff. He said heContinue reading “Fair vs Just…”
