Joseph had the whole Christmas thing goin’…even during the very first Advent season. He and his pregnant (not by him) wife were traveling to see family. They had very little space for luggage. Traffic was terrible. No reservations were available. Family didn’t have room for them and Joseph couldn’t find accommodations that were up to […]

Family Gatherings

family gatherings

Thanksgiving is upon us once again. I wrote this blog several years ago during the summer, but I thought it was appropriate right before the holiday. I love getting together with extended family. I have four brothers, each of us with children and grandchildren. To the degree feasible, we all (we lost Mom and Dad […]

Freedom Requires Restriction

Uncategorized

DON’T MESS WITH MY FREEDOM! I don’t get to do all that much, but I love to travel and I love excitement.  So, I’m enamored with Atlanta’s Spaghetti Junction.  With my recent forays into hang gliding and glider lessons.  And flying in general.  These things are edgy.  They give me a sense of freedom, but […]

The View from This Side of the Table: The Leader and the Led

Differences of opinion are nothing new. Differences of points of view between a leader and someone they lead is also nothing new. The question is…how does a leader most efficiently approach an issue that stands between her and the one that she’s attempting to lead?

Needed: Principled Leadership

Which is more important: principle or expediency? Think through that question while join me into this excursion with leaders. Although I listen to a fair amount of political discussion, I seldom write of it. But in the last few days, with the election cycle heating up in anticipation of fall mid-term elections, I am becoming […]

Never Too Late?

It’s something you’ve wanted all your life. Time has slipped away. You’ve never pulled the trigger on your dream. Pride or despair, perhaps, has kept you from reaching out for the resources that were within reach. It now seems hopeless.
