    “Furious activity is no substitute for understanding.” What is it that you have been furiously active in to cover up your lack of understanding? What is it that you are called to do, but have been too busy to figure it out? What is your dream and passion that you have been covering up with…

    Those T.V. guys are at it again. This time, it’s straps that allow two women to carry 1,000 pounds. Why can’t these people ever just be happy with the way that we already do things? Oh wait, they are trying to make money. Seriously this time, anyone have these? Please say no! Here’s the link…

  • Looking At Potential

    Most people have a tendency to write people off based on what they observe within the first few moments of meeting someone. We often fail to see the heart of people, their abilities, or their personalities. We also often fail to see other’s potential. As a leader, I have to look at people and see…

    I’m sure I’m way behind on this thing, but have you seen the iGoogle homepage? It allows you to customize what your homepage looks like. The best part…nothing to download. All you have to do is have a Google account. You can choose things like weather, news, quotes, your google reader, and even your gmail.…

  • So You’re Having A Bad Day?

    This morning, Melissa and I woke up (once again) to barely running water. Apparently, the water likes to freeze just enough at night to not work until it thaws out later in the day…even with it left running a little over night. That can get any one’s day off to a bad start! This is…

  • How Does This Sell?

    Have you seen these? They are literally blankets with sleeves and apparently they’re making quite a splash. The crazy part is, our economy’s tanked and yet people are spending money on something like this! Think in a few years, people are going to say, “This is the best thing since the Snuggie” instead of sliced…

  • Leadership Lesson From Science Class

    —

    by

    in ,

    As the picture above illustrates (I think), in science class, we used to learn about potential energy and kinetic energy. The basic idea (as best as I can remember) is that potential energy is energy gaining and kinetic energy is energy releasing. In leadership, we have to have a solid flow of both. We have…

    Helping your family climb the family tree… I believe in family. I believe in the family unit and the importance of spiritual guidance from parents. So, July 31-August 1, the first ever Deep Roots Family Conference will be held at Clark’s Inn and Restaurant in Santee, S.C. It will give us an opportunity to further…

  • First Impressions

    First impressions are important. We only get one chance at making a first impression. As bad as it is, some people won’t give us another shot at knowing them if we blow our first. I have a feeling that many Christians tend to make a bad first impression. Many times, our first impression is one…
