2008 Recap, Looking Forward to 09
I was reviewing my post on things to do in 08 to reflect on this past year’s goals, priorities, and interests.
I did accomplish a few of the things on my list and fell short on others. 2008 was a challenging year for me personally.
To be honest, I told my wife that [...]
Pay Now Play Later
I came across this saying (pay now, play later), as I was reading through this book, that hit home with me.
There are many categories in life that this motto could fall under. Some are serious and others simple. Here are a few examples in my life.
* do what’s on your plate now well [...]
Sneaker Design Contest // Update
I was asked the other day how the Sneaker Design Contest that I entered turned out.
At first I had trouble even uploading a design (nothing would work on the website), but after emailing the web master, I was then able to directly sent him a couple of designs via email.
I had not [...]
Tree Ornaments You Can Drink
Ok….my wife LOVES Coke.
I’m convinced her first words as a baby were: “Coca.”
So, when I saw these cool little coke bottles, shaped as tree ornaments, I had to score a few.
One for her and one for me.
I tied them with a bow and put them on our 2 ft mini tree.
Cost = $1 each.
Instant [...]
Vocational Calling
I had a great meeting yesterday with the Founder and President of G.O. Ministries.
I met with him for two reasons. First, I went to network for a sports outreach event that I am putting together for one of his partnering churches in west Louisville. Secondly, I went to learn all I can [...]
If You Could Get One Game Back
Do you ever reminisce about your playing days (t-ball, grade school, high school, college, or beyond) and that game that you really blew it?
Maybe you missed a free throw, dropped a pop fly, fumbled a ball, got beat on defense, or just lost your cool.
If you could get one game back, [...]
Youth Party, Rock Band, Wife on Lead Vocals
Saturday night was our youth lock in / Christmas party and we had a ball.
Speaking of ball, there was a lot basketball playing through out the night and we had a King Dodge Ball tournament. The Middle Schoolers decided they wanted to challenge the High School. They put up a good fight [...]
Rising to the Occasion
A quote from Winston Churchill on leadership…
“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitting their talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that [...]
Mexican Slaw Gone Bad
Picked up a recipe from the newspaper (in the break room at my work of all places) the other day that I wanted to try.
Whole Foods’ Mexican slaw
> green cabbage
> jicama
> carrots
> red bell peppers
> red onion
> jalapeno pepper
> lemon juice
> salad oil
> cilantro
> salt and pepper
Sounded good, so I decided to make it [...]
Baller-in-Chief
Love or hate, voted for or not, President-elect Barack Obama will be stepping into the White House very soon and his every move will be observed.
One thing that Obama loves to do is ball. The team over at Black Fives has created a new website appropriately called: Baller-in-Chief.
The blog covers everything about [...]
