Preached At

No one likes to be “preached” at but sometimes being “preached” at can help motivate and give you direction that can make your life better. I know from experience.

Do Good Things Now

Make doing good things a part of your life at all stages of your life. Don’t wait til you are older to make a difference in the world.

In Case Of Fire

Now this is funny and sad at the same time. I would need to be reminded of this, sorry to say. (Courtesy of The Secret Nerd Base on Facebook)

Back-To-School Time In Hamilton County

Today the local school system (Hamilton County, Tennessee in this case) returns to the classroom after the summer break. Other students in the area have been back for a week or more. For many kids this is really bad news but for parents it’s a welcome sight. Granted some of those parents are teachers so they have to get back to work. I hope all the students, teachers and staff have a great school year and do amazing things. Amazing things come from public schools I believe.

This is a great commercial for back-to-school from the Staples office supply stores. It’s set to the great holiday song “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” by Andy Williams.
