Post image for Our Love-Hate Relationship with Work- Part 1

by The Howitzer
 
I remember vividly one of the first times that I realized that I both loved and hated being employed.  I was a college student and was home for my first summer break.  One of the best jobs available for the transient worker was in the public school system.  It paid pretty well and [...]

Post image for The Depression of Depending on Self

By The Howitzer
 
For the past couple of weeks I have been battling depression.  The funny thing is there is nothing wrong (well at least not on the mega scale.)  Maybe I am just dealing with getting older.  I don’t seem to have as much pep in the step as my grandmother used to say.  And [...]

What if I told you it was possible for your children to be wise? How would you like it if your kids moved from naivety to knowledge? Where would your sons end up if they understood the words of the wise and their riddles? Is it possible for your daughters to be wise [...]

I met George over 10 years ago. I had taken a new position in a church and was spending some time getting to know some of the guys in my congregation. As George and I began the twenty-question game, it was obvious that he had some dreams and aspiration burning in his gut [...]

I have a good friend who is really good in accomplishing the important things on his list. He doesn’t seem to complete everything but consistently achieves his top priorities. I want to be more like that!

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 [...]

Something’s been bothering me for far too long.  It’s a question some of my friends and I talk about from time to time, but mostly we just ignore it.  We ignore it, push it down.  But it keeps popping into my mind lately.

A newfound interest of mine is NASCAR. To be honest, I have never had much interest in a bunch of overgrown teenagers racing around an oval track. With the exception of some fantastic wrecks (where no one seems to get hurt) I never really understood the NASCAR junkie. That is until my son [...]

By Greg Sikes
I think it’s part of the human experience to just go through the motions. It’s really easy to do . . . sort of like the default position on the meter by which we measure life.
