Well, that was something special. And to think I was wanting to work all week and miss the event just 6 days ago. Thanks to my father in law Perry, and my neighbor Hal for talking me into volunteering. Thanks to my business partner Jay for making me stick with my decision, and thanks to [...]

Senior PGA at Valhalla- My Take on Day 3
So I snuck out and played 18 this morning. How can I guy watch that much golf and not wanna go play. The results were less than stellar. Quite boring. I shot a 78 with pars and bogeys. Ball striking was great with the irons. I watched the pros and remembered that tempo kinda matters, [...]
ShareSenior PGA at Valhalla- My Take on Day Two
So for starters my picture is terrible. Quick iphone picture, but it captures the day pretty well. Overcast. Chilly. There were hand warmers, rain jackets, and it seemed like lots of coffee was sold. I never saw the sun peek out. I arrived at 7:30am even though my volunteer shift wasn’t until 2:30PM. I started by [...]
ShareSenior PGA at Valhalla- My Take on Day One
So I’m volunteering this week at the Senior PGA, and in turn I get a hall pass for the week. Pretty cool deal. Of course most everyone else in the city of Louisville is doing the same thing. I worked my shift for yesterday’s practice round so today I hit the links to watch some [...]

Dictionary.com defines it as: steady persistence in course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. I like that definition, but I like Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s description better. Here is an excerpt [...]
ShareTrip to Walmart changed my weekend
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m not a Walmart fan. It has nothing to do with corporate welfare, mom and pop businesses, health insurance or any of those old debates. It has to do with the organization of the store. I can never find anything like I can in a Target. There is too much [...]
ShareIsaiah 40 and the Serenity Prayer
I keep reading this verse of scripture daily and it really refreshes me. It’s the verse quoted by Eric Liddell in Chariots of Fire during one of his sermons. The text from the NIV translation is below the video. Also, below that I’ve listed the full version of the serenity prayer shared with me by [...]
ShareA little inspiration
Getting back to a little inspiration. I’m sitting watching Chariots of Fire at 5AM. The intro is the part we all remember. When the runners are all jogging on the beach. Wind blowing back their hair. Their lungs expanding and contracting while gulls fly overhead. Splashes from the waves and the sand hitting their feet. [...]
ShareTact and Truth on Saturday Morning
This Saturday I rescheduled a tee time at the last minute to make time for the Saturday Morning Men’s Study at Southeast Christian Church. Pause for applause and accolades. I am an infrequent attendee. We have 3 kiddos under 5 and one on the way so cut me some slack. I’m the guy the regulars [...]
