I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Observations About WordPress

WordPress is indeed a different animal than Tumblr. People here are incredibly creative and very original. They have something to say in every post they make. One thing I notice is re-blogging is at a minimum and to me that’s great. I love seeing more original posts from everyone I am coming across here. One fear I have is that I don’t write long enough or perhaps very deep compared to other WordPress bloggers. Maybe I should consider how to do things different here. Let’s see how things go. Input welcome from all in the community. Lets keep on blogging.

A Thought For The Day

There is no time like the present to be thinking about the future. As Fleetwood Mac once sang “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”.

Opportunity Into Prosperity

I think with opportunity comes some prosperity. If we are looking at prosperity only then we are missing out on the ability to impact the lives of those who need it in favor of personal gain. Our lives can be about more than accumulating wealth but creating a greater community for everyone including ourselves.

Money, Money, Money

Money makes things happen. It changes things and people. It’s what we do with money that can determine if it makes us happy or makes things worse. Money by itself can do little but with a human being in charge of it interesting things can happen. Just a thought or two.
