I finished my book for the book club over the weekend. It’s “Home to Harmony” by Philip Gulley. At amazon.com, it’s billed as, ”a simple book,” which it is. There are cute lines in it (my favorite: the pastor says, “I left for health reasons: I was sick of them, and they were sick of me”), but [...]

I just had an interesting conversation with a colleague that I’m still trying to sort out in my head just what it was all about.
She sent an email to a few of us that was a copy of a despair.com poster on mediocrity:”It takes a lot less time and most people won’t notice the difference [...]

I’m at 139.1, which means that I need to put in thirty-one more hours this week. No, that will not bring my total for the month to the magic 220 I was shooting for, but it will put me at 170 for the month, which (considering the Thanksgiving holiday and my trip to D.C.) will [...]

Yes, I know. I’m not supposed to even fake-swear like this, but I just got my hours for last month. 111.80. I have 1287 for the year, and I have to bill 1950 to earn my keep. Which means that I have to bill 700 hours in the next 3 months.
I need to win the [...]

There are days when I really miss the good ole days of the King James Version. A conversion the apostle Paul had in his conversion experience is set forth in the book of Acts (in the New Testament) like so:
“And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom [...]

I like it that the rest of that line is “….wastin’ time.”
This thing all things devours:Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;Gnaws iron, bites steel;Grinds hard stones to meal;Slays king, ruins townAnd beats high mountain down.
Yes, it’s from “The Hobbit.”
My whole life I’ve felt that I’m either trying to catch up or moving too fast. If [...]
What am I here for?

After all of the yammering about this or that event, the really troublesome issue comes out to this: If all of the things I thought my life was going to be and involve turn out to be wrong turns or detours, what really is my purpose?
Catechism’s answer: The chief end of man is to glorify [...]
Happy Administrative Professionals’ Day!!

This is one Hallmark holiday that I do not mind celebrating, especially since one of the world’s best secretaries works with me. I started to say, “I have one of the world’s greatest secretaries….,” but it sounded weird – weird and condescending.
Anyway, our office did a catered lunch in the office for everyone that turned [...]
