Thoughts on Time and the One Word That Drives Me Nuts
Let’s discuss time and how we spend it. I think if we looked at time in the same way we look at money we would be more discerning in how we spent it. If you were only given $24 in your day would you really choose to spend $3 surfing Facebook? See, that right there was a game-changer when you put it into perspective. Why do we value money to the point that we go to great lengths to save it any chance we get (ie, coupons, Black Friday shopping, BOGOs…) but when we have an opportunity to save time (ie. turning the TV off, getting off of devices, logging…

Here’s to You…Robin Williams
I am in shock. Even though I didn’t know Robin Williams personally, I think everyone who was ever moved by one of his films can attest to the fact that he was like a friend to millions.

What Do Sara Evans, The Beatles and Jesus Have In Common?
I’ve spent the past few days in the 103 degree heat doing yard work at our “vacation” home. We don’t really have a vacation home…that was a joke. Regardless, spending this much time in the heat first makes me regret living in the South but also makes me grateful for the time to reflect on things in my life. I’d much rather be reflecting on a beach, but God rarely offers me those opportunities so I take what I can get. Anywho, I spent the past few days thinking about a particularly difficult situation I found myself in recently. I’ll spare you the details because really, they’re not important.…
