MANAGEMENT WON’T SAVE YOU This is a little fact which will save you time and money: Don’t count on management to be your savior. That’s not in the job description. The job of management is to get things done in an organized manner. Efficiency is not required. Example: Microsoft Windows. Well organized, but not what I would call efficient. Don’t get …

GUEST POST from Don: We Are More
WE ARE MORE Studying humans, researchers have found that we are easily influenced. More importantly, we more easily influence others than we give ourselves credit for. For instance, “paying it forward” (I hate the game). I don’t owe you anything and I dislike purposely influencing someone else either. Nevertheless, multiple studies have shown that a simple intentional …

GUEST POST from Don – Lessons Learned
LESSONS LEARNED Oh! I don’t think I’ve got the handle on everything yet. However, I have been reading a book by David Finch. He is a married man with Asperger’s Syndrome who is trying to be a better husband (“The Journal of Best Practices”) Probably EVERY husband should read it because whether we are on the Spectrum or not, …

GUEST POST from Don: Preaching
PREACHING I hold a very high standard to preaching. It must perform one task very well. That task is to say what God says. If God rebukes, then the message is one of rebuke. If God declares his love, then it is a message of encouragement. The Word of God is the message to be spoken. That is, the one …

GUEST POST from Don: People Want Solved
POLITICS and what People Want Solved Once again, election season is upon us and “the sky is falling!.” Whether Democrat, Independent, Republican (or none of the above) there are things we all want. Once again, the things which WE want have been pushed to the background. Candidates want us to get hyped up about single issues (like abortion, …

GUEST POST from Don: Mini Cows! +
MINI COWS! + I’ve been impressed with miniature cows for a while. We don’t have enough land (live in the city, ya’ know). What is neat about mini cows is that they eat about 1/3 the grain or need ½ the pasture, but produce more milk or meat per acre than full-size cow breeds. Of course, being …

GUEST POST from Don: Recession Indicators??
RECESSION INDICATORS?? STOP! This post is not about recession. It is about WHY the indicators have failed and what the future holds. (I will say this: 3 in 5 Americans believe we are in a recession. They are not wrong, and they are not right. Recently a local investment advisor who is interviewed on a …
