Country Music Makes Me Cry
By The Howitzer
I hope you never pass me on the road when I am in a country frame of mind cause county music make me cry. I know I am supposed to be tough but some of those songs are geared to rip your heart out (if you have one, men). One of my favorite [...]

The Big Squeeze By Greg Sikes

You get up at the same time every day. You go to bed at the same time [...]

What Happens When You Push God Too Far? by The Howitzer

Do You Want to Have Great Kids or Raise Great Kids? By Charlie Loften

How to Use Your Giftedness by The Howitzer
“You’re not as bad as everybody says, I think you’re getting better.” I wasn’t sure exactly how to respond to my latest compliment. I think my evaluator’s heart was good but her choice of words left a little to be desired. Actually, a lot to be desired. Fortunately, my ego wasn’t that fragile [...]

Living Large with Your Health by The Howitzer
It’s funny that the old fat guy at RAL would write the vision piece about fitness. Normally, any article related to health is assigned to the person who has it all together and loves to put their picture up or someone who tells the before and after story of their walk from obesity [...]

At the individual level, decisions are being made about what kind of housing adjustments need to be made, what kind of food is to be eaten, what kind of extra-curricular activities need to be participated in and even if [...]
