It was just another crazy week… once I grabbed my travel bag. I boarded my flight in Orange County – my local airport – last Monday morning, headed to Minneapolis, through Dallas. Tuesday morning was an introductory briefing for the new cohort for The Master’s Program in the Twin Cities, and – beginning Tuesday evening […]

The shooter’s motive was…
Motive. Why? The investigations in Las Vegas have moved past the what and how questions surrounding Stephen Craig Paddock’s attack on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. It’s been seven days, but no manifesto or suicide note has emerged. Social media postings are – apparently – non-existent. A secret circle […]

Horrific. Yet you have the Ultimate Solution.
Horrific. There are no words to describe the scene last night. “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” is a marketing offer; it has no enforceability this morning. What happened when Stephen Paddock – at this point, known only as an apartment manager in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada – unleashed hell on the […]

Just do it. “Yeah, but…”
“Yeah, but…,” It’s probably illegal to fish for that response to a direct order in a job interview. There are certain things you cannot ask of an employment prospect. Are you pregnant? How old are you? Are you in debt? Do you drink or smoke? Who did you vote for? Those are verboten questions… Jesus […]

What if you run out of money?
What do you do for an encore? Pass out some money? Great achievements can become great distractions. String a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime moments together – in a short period of time – and you could almost get a pass on being productive. This morning after Hollywood’s television community passed around their Emmy trophies, most of […]

Will Millennials “Get it?”
“I know stuff Millennials don’t know. I do stuff Millennials don’t do. I do it because I see things differently than Millennials, and it’s my job to help other people know what I know, do what I do, and think the way I think…” Those are Paul’s thoughts, summarizing his written comments to the believers […]

Relay winners know how to pass the baton to a thirty years old
What happens when people turn 30 (thirty)? “Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt.” (Genesis 41:46). “David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.” (2 Samuel 5:4). “Now Jesus himself […]

Dealing with the deluge…rainfall
“On that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights…” (Genesis 7:11-12) That’s the way it feels today in south Texas. Folks in/around Houston are dealing with epic weather conditions. Records abound: rivers cresting […]

Racing to Darkness; It’s No Metaphor for the Eclipse
This is the day we’ve all been waiting for…an eclipse. If your workforce punches a clock – with the assurance that they’re being productive while they’re on-the-job – this may turn out to be a low impact day for you. Wherever you are (if you’re reading this within the continental United States), TES (Total Eclipse […]

The Red Carpet doesn’t lead to the Pearly Gates
Life. Ballgames. Picnics. Beach parties. Movies. “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…” The “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer” are running down; there’s not much time left to do nothing. What are you doing with the last of your off days? Hollywood rolls out some of their best stuff during summer; some of them catch […]
