What an Amazing & Glorious Person YOU Are!
A while back, I wrote an article about Amazing People. There were a few comments, including one from Kevin the inspiration for the article, but honestly, not as many as I’d hoped there would be. Then I realized that I was being selfish, by expecting all those amazing people to comment on my blog. They’re [...]
Carrie Underwood v Chelsea Clinton
The topic of topics. I figured it had to come at some point – the two top searches on the Internet were two “C” girls, looking for fame and fortune. One has found it, the other inherited it. Life goes on and to be perfectly honest, who cares about either of them? Okay, in all [...]
Salute – Happy Independence Day America
Graduation for my son-in-law from boot camp comes on the heels of the Fourth of July this year. I can’t imagine a more appropriate place to be than near boot camp on one of the nation’s Military Bases for the 4th of July. This particular base is near enough to the capital to hear the [...]
Travel Journals – How to Travel and Make Money
Yesterday as we toured the Smokey Mountains, my son quipped, “Wish I could just travel and make money…” I smiled as I kept taking pictures and noting details about the trip. We’d traveled over much of the great plains, settled into the Mississippi River Valley and rolled through the Smokey Mountains, down a long winding [...]
The Power to Overcome
People have specific personal needs in their lives. Some need appreciation for what they do – those people desire appreciation for their efforts so completely that if they’re not appreciated, their efforts stop. They cease to function within an organization and they literally stop producing because they feel unappreciated. Some need affection in unlimited amounts [...]
Tolerance – HELL NO!!! Not Tolerant Anymore.
Tonight, I noticed a news broadcast where children were told to leave school because they refused to turn the American Flag wrong side out on their T-shirts, in “honor” of Cinco De Mayo? SAY WHAT? READ HERE Who the heck cares about Cinco De Mayo in the USA? Not saying I have any objection to [...]
“You’ve Made Enough Money”
Larry Gatlin says “It’s open mouth and insert change.” Those who make enough money to promote and uplift others, have a responsibility to make more money. The concept that you’ve made enough money just doesn’t cut it for business owners who pay employees. “They’ve got to keep working to make more money.” This really is [...]
Rich Dad – Poor Dad
The lessons of Robert Kiyosaki keep rising their head in my life. From Pre-Paid Legal to Quixtar, there’s never been a moment in life when I wasn’t hearing about those viable concepts and what they would mean to me. Poor Dad’s teach their children how to spend money, using thrifty frugal spending practices and Rich [...]
Hate Speech, Hate Crimes & Thought Crimes
Say what? When Ann Coulter went to Canada, she had been invited to speak on a University campus. No special treat, the woman speaks on a regular basis on conservative topics, yea, even on university campuses. So, what’s so different about this campus? While I’m not a big fan of Ann Coulter (she’s a bit [...]
Judgmental Parenting and Obsessive Behaviors
Through the years of experiencing parenting, one experience stands out among the rest. The confrontational behaviors of judgmental parents and their obsessive behaviors more often reveals something about the person making the judgments rather than anything about the person being judged. But, how can one express that without sounding judgmental themselves? During a recent confrontation [...]
