We recently went to Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama for a short 3 day golf trip. Let me say this that we went 10 years ago in June and it was awesome. This time the courses were still awesome but don’t go in March. It is not quite far enough south to head go [...]

The Power of Prayer versus the doubt of a believer?
Three weeks ago we found out that our third child was breeched 5 weeks before my wife’s due date. This same situation had occurred with our first child. They determined that their diagnosis was wrong. She really wasn’t breeched after the ultrsound proved otherwise. The same situation was happening with our soon to be born [...]
Do you supplement?
Well do you.
I sure hope so.
I hope you’re using a good liquid nutritional supplement to get all the minerals, vitamins, enzymes and essential fatty acids you don’t get from our food supply.
If you’re still in the four food groups camp, I hope you realize that the ship has left that dock at least 80 years [...]
My favorite thing to watch these days….
I have always loved mystery shows and books. It’s what intrigued me as a child. I think the only two books I read in my first 8 years of school were two mystery novels. I would love to remember the names as I type, but they escape me. Now that I’m back from my short [...]

Bracket 1 Tennessee, Georgetown, Memphis, UCLATennesse vs Memphis rematch with a Memphis win.
Bracket 2 Is the same until the sweet sixteen. Final Four is Louisville, Georgetown, Pittsburg, [...]
Who will be John McCains VP?
Two words:
Mike Huckabee.
I think the evangelicals have such a bad taste in their mouth for John McCain and they were not exactly favorable for Mitt Romney. Without the southern and midwestern evangelicals, kiss the GOP’s chances goodbye. Huckabee carried Iowa and Kansas and did very well in Oklahoma and Missouri. Huckabee has a strong following [...]
The Costco Connection
One of my favorite companies has a great small business magazine. Costco and its Costco Connection. This magazine has it all. They have small business tips, advice and trends. They have targeted ads for cool Costco products. They have 65-70 pages of great info. This is not a AAA magazine with a bunch of fluff. [...]
Where do you get your coffee?

NCAA Conference Tournaments and Brackets
Well I didn’t fare too well in the darkhorse picks.
I did avoid in most cases picking the top 3-4 teams in a league. In the larger conferences I avoided the top 5-6 teams.
So Temple was the only team that came through.Minnesota had an impressive run.Syracuse had no magic this year.None from Texas Tech either.Georgia Tech [...]
Chip Ingrams book summary
Sorry, we had a short weekend trip. You’ll have to wait until next week for the update on Chip Ingram’s book “Good to Great in God’s Eyes”
Mike Huckabee’s historic run in 2007-2008
Well what else is there to say. Mike Huckabee as of last week did not get the Presidential nomination for the GOP in 2008. I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I felt from all my research since July’s New Man Christian magazine article, that Mike Huckabee was the next Ronald Reagan or Abraham [...]
Working from home- is it for you?
I have worked from home and from an office and I still don’t know which one works best. I think it is completely dependant on the personality and the environment. Then there is the question of children. If you have small children at home throw everything out the window and forget about it! Small children [...]
It’s NCAA Tourney time and March Madness
Who is your favorite team? Kentucky, Louisville, Indiana, Western Kentucky or is it another team from another part of the country. No matter who it is, if their conference tournament has not yet begun; they are still alive. There is hope yet for a miracle run.
San Diego has a chance tonight to notch a berth [...]
The new economy of resale
Anyone noticed that there is a new underground economy developing. It’s called chatteling or resale. My wife is becoming a pro at this type of selling. She knows what things in our home will sell best on Cheapcycle ( a local and regional yahoo online yard sale), Craig’s List (one big local, regional, national and [...]
Missionaries with GO Ministries
Many of you may know that some of the missionaries and field partners with GO Ministries are losing some support from Southeast Christian Church. I don’t know all the details, don’t claim to, and it doesn’t really matter. A church the size of Southeast supports so many ministries and mommy bird has to let baby [...]
Chip Ingrams message at Southeast
Wow what a message a few weeks back.
I am quite the compulsive personality as my friends and family know. I couldn’t wait to get Ingram’s book “Good to Great” in God’s eyes. It was based on the business book of the same title by Jim Collins. I purchased it the Sunday night after Chip preached [...]
