If it didn’t exist, would you create it? I spent the first half of my adult life trying to come up with the right answers. I’ve spent the second half trying to find the right questions. That’s one of the best questions I know to ask… I have a good friend – and, Master’s graduate […]

Are you comfortable taking unnecessary risks to sin?
Does sin knock at your door? Are you in a dangerous place? Some locales are noted for their high-risk locations. Track your terror: whatever you fear, there are places more susceptible than others. If earthquakes are the source of nightmares for you, Tehran, Istanbul and Los Angeles are off your bucket list. Tsunamis are very […]

Mustard or Ketchup isn’t the Question… as we celebrate Independence
Are those hot-dogs a fraud as Americans recognize the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July? Tomorrow, over 150 million hot dogs – and incalculable burgers – will hit the grills across America, as Americans celebrate the 241st anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the document certifying the agreement of 13 colonies to break […]

It’s the Two Minute Warning… in the Second Half
You’re in the Second Half. You might want to stay-up on Friday night, so you can feel it: you’ll be finishing the first half of 2017, and all of your plans for this never-again year will be re-evaluated by your current status. If your objectives have been achieved – or, are within sight – you […]

Leader: How do you spot the real deal?
Kingdom Leader. In the internet era, we learn something about concepts and categories by Googling. Perform a web search to determine proximity – what something is like – and proliferation – how far it has spread. The concept of a Kingdom Leader (316,000 results) doesn’t come close to competing with a Christian Leader (4,910,000 results). […]

It’s Sad when Winners are Losers for a father
Fathers. King of the Hill. Top Dog. El Supremo. The Godfather. Informal titles carry almost no weight, but there’s an implied gravitas that attaches, depending on whether they’re bestowed in jest or in sincerity. This is “the week.” In the next few days, preparations for Sunday’s annual focus on fathers will go from casual (Monday-Friday) […]

“Table for One” isn’t strategic… what’s the ultimate gift?
The Ultimate Gift. In our consumer world (proof: you may have already thought of a movie title), two things dominate: 1) buy something for yourself, because you deserve it!; and/or, 2) buy something for someone else, because they deserve it! “Need” is ancient history… It’s now June, and the Big Three will keep you up […]

Memorial Day – The War with No Conscientious Objectors
Memorial Day. Often confused with Veterans Day, Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving as members of America’s military forces; Veterans Day honors the service of the living. One of the newest – and most striking – tributes to the fallen is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the National Mall, in […]

Your subpoena to testify has been served
May 22, 2017 What will you do if you’re called to testify by subpoena? That’s a question that you probably don’t have to ponder, but if you worked anywhere near the last election, and operate “inside the Beltway,” it’s something you might have to answer. There’s a Special Counsel in town, and he’s going to […]

Things are not always as they seem
May 15, 2017 Hacked! I’m a well-connected guy (apparently). I only have 1685 “friends” onFacebook (I have a FB page, but it’s my social media version of a timeshare: I pay the annual dues, but I never visit). LinkedIn is higher in my SM world: over 5300 “connections,” but I’m a LI deadbeat (I build […]
