Is Our Focus on Winning Making Us a Bunch of Losers

I may write more on this in the upcoming weeks, so while my thoughts may branch out several times I won’t delve too deeply into certain areas. We are a culture that is obsessed with winning. Win at all costs. Win the Big One. Playing for One Game and on and on we could go. WeContinue reading “Is Our Focus on Winning Making Us a Bunch of Losers”

Focus on Him

I don’t believe that I have ever sat down and watched an entire show of The Jeffersons. I am, however, familiar with their theme song – Movin’ on Up. The premise behind the song is that the Jefferson family has arrived. They have made it. I can’t tell you how often I have had theContinue reading “Focus on Him”

Will provide non-stop commentary of the game, with a heavy emphasis on Nick Marshall, Chris Davis and Tre Mason. Said commentator knows little about football, but this has never stopped him from talking about it with authority. Due to the inclement cold weather it is not permissible for me to place this young budding commentatorContinue reading

Weathering My Attitude

The cold wind of an Arctic Blast is blowing through South Georgia today. I’m a little excited about it myself. Weather forecasts say that temperatures will reach the teens and we will get to experience a cold that we don’t see very often down here. Friends, I live with two teens. If you ever wantContinue reading “Weathering My Attitude”

Good Music

I posted one of this guys song on Facebook a week or so ago, after I discovered his music. This is another post, that I wanted to put up. I believe that some of his music is still available free of charge on Noisetrade. You can give a tip if you like to help supportContinue reading “Good Music”

Dull Tools and Bruises

We’ve all heard the statements: A dull knife is a worthless knife. A tool that is broken is useless. We’ve also heard these statements: It’s better to be cut by a sharp knife than a dull knife. The right tool for the right job (I actually believe this is trademarked). Now, I’m not advocating forContinue reading “Dull Tools and Bruises”

He Made Me Do It

“He made me do it, dad!” “Do you mean, son, that he made you hit him?” “Yes, sir.” “Well son, show me how exactly that he made you hit him. Did he hold your arm? Did he promise to break your favorite PowerRanger? How exactly did this happen?” “He looked at me wrong.” “He lookedContinue reading “He Made Me Do It”

The Joy of Discovery

The Joy of Discovery I must confess that I watched very little of the FSU game last night. My kids didn’t have school today so there were a variety of things happening, including Chitty, Chitty, Bang-Bang being on the TV. I’m not sure exactly how that movie came to be chosen but after 18Continue reading “The Joy of Discovery”

His Strength – My Weakness

Last weekend it seemed like joined about 80% of the population of Pierce County in the personal enjoyment of a head cold. I’m not sure if we were all sharing these colds due to the fact that kids were finishing up their second week of school or if it was due to the month ofContinue reading “His Strength – My Weakness”

Thank you, thank you

This is the song that woke me up Monday morning. I enjoy Mondays and had planned on posting this as soon as I sat down at my desk but the day flew away from me. Maybe this will encourage you to approach your day with a smile, for Bryan Duncan is not singing about someContinue reading “Thank you, thank you”
