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 [...]

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

One of my all-time favorite stories in our family history didn’t happen to me and I wasn’t even there.  15 years later, despite my tendency to exaggerate stories, I have yet to tell this story as if it happened to me or I was there.  That’s remarkable for me.

I like talking about you, you, you, you usually.  But, occasionally I want to talk about me. – Toby Keith
