“Life is too short not to love what you do, and it’s much, much too short to wait around until someone hands you a billion dollars.” Quoted from Quit your job!
Amen! I have been more happy over the past 445 days than I was the previous who-knows-how-many days.

Four Score and Seven Years Ago
Four score and seven years ago today, my grandfather was born. We spent Sunday afternoon (his birthday eve) with him and other extended family. We had a great time catching up, hearing about things that have changed over the past few years. His town now has three (3!) stop lights, and the road in front [...]
Bob’s House
Very nice ad for the Super Bowl. I hope I catch it when it airs. Don’t adjust your computer’s speakers.
And a happy Thanksgiving to you…
Seven things I’m thankful for:
Laura – my wife, the most beautiful, patient, understanding woman in the world. There’s a book or movie to be written about her life, and how she deals with it.
Family – You can’t pick your family, but I know I couldn’t have chosen a better one than the one I’m in.
God [...]
Re: Elephant Math: It takes some time
Seth Godin points out while discussing viral campaigns “If Darwin’s elephants managed to squeeze in just one more generation, they end up with 30 million.” (Elephant Math)

Brandon Tartikoff gave the show Cheers several seasons to find its following. The final episode [...]
Unclutter Your Life
For a few months now, I’ve been reading the Unclutterer blog. Unclutterer is the blog about getting and staying organized.
I am using one of the unclutterer’s hints: doing it in small steps: After yesterday’s laundry (socks, underwear and t-shirts) was done, after sorting and folding, but before actually putting them away I opened each drawer [...]
Chase the Lion!
Is there something in your life that seems too big to handle? Something you want to change, but just can’t get started? Read 2 Samuel 23:20-21 “Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it.” Mark Batterson wrote a book around this [...]
What Blogathon 2007 Has Taught Me
I had a great time over the past 24 hours. And I’ve learned a lot:
Upgrade all of your software on your server and computer several days before the event
Allow two to three times as much time as you think you’ll need for any “large” projects”
Don’t plan on doing any “large” projects while you are doing [...]
CHARGE Movie
The song is from Glenn Kaiser, “Fearlessly, Wondrously Made.” Many thanks to his recording label, Grrr Records for allowing me to use the song.
To You, My Sisters
I read this story on a blog of a parent whose child has CHARGE. I imagine this would be very similar to any parent who has a child with any kind of challenge.
Many of you I have never even met face to face, but I’ve searched you out every day. I’ve looked for you on [...]
