I’ve desired a piece of land and a nice garden for a long time. We’ve also wanted chickens and goats and lots of other things that more property would support. It’s finally looking like that might become a possibility… more news on that to come. But while I continue to dream, I’ve been reading some…

Today has been filled with video training on computer security. It’s all very good material, and vital for our employees to know. In all of the videos though, I learned one thing that seems very important… all computer hackers wear a stalking hat and eye mask. So be on the lookout, and stay safe out…

I didn’t go to college to be a software engineer. Actually, I didn’t complete college at all. When I did go, my intent was electrical engineering. The problem was, I didn’t have scholarships and my grades sucked because I had to work so much to pay for the classes. Oh, and I was very unfocused…

I have mixed feelings when it comes to social justice. I know that God is just. Isaiah 30:18 says “…for the Lord is a God of justice, how blessed are all those who long for Him”. Social justice has gotten a bad name though. Lately, it tends to look like redistributing wealth, or fighting for…

I love the way Bob Goff writes. “Love Does” was a great book for me. It encouraged me to seek out extravagant ways to love without condition (I’m not good at it yet, but still trying). He continues to write great things and inspire people to greater love. However, I don’t always agree with what…

I once had the choice to be a full-time soldier, or live my life and be a soldier too. I chose… wisely. That choice has shaped my life, mostly for the better. However, when I look at how that same choice could be overlaid on my life as a Christian, maybe being a Reservist isn’t…

John Cooper of Skillet posted a terrific message on Facebook yesterday. https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v5.0 #marriagemonday I love this woman!
