During my morning quiet time recently I was reading from Psalm 78. As I read verse 72 it grabbed my attention. To be honest, it challenged me. Asaph, the author of this psalm, wrote of King David in verse 72, "So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart." What a wonderful testimony...
The spirit of bipartisanship has loomed over these elections like few in recent history. Both Obama and McCain have good bipartisan credentials that set them apart from the ‘typical’ products of their party system. Both are independent and have the strength of conviction to go against received...
Before a Plane takes off from the ground the attendances demonstrate the oxygen mask and say: If you travel with children, put on the mask on yourself first before you help them. Always think of yourself first and help yourself first, whatever situation you are in. If you do not help yourself, how...

When we travel we often use the expression; to visit. "I will visit Denmark later this year." or "Last month I visited Paris." But what does it really mean to visit someone? When we were kids my family always visited my Grandmother every Sunday. It wasn't that long ride but still we put on our best...
My new friend Steve, an Englishman in Spain and a true Traveler shared with me some hotel stories. It is delightful to read what he writes and I just want to share his reviews over hotels as I also want to encourage ALL Top Travelers to share their experiences with hotels they have stayed in. Here...
"I have never been able to distinguish my reputation as a man from my reputation as a politician. Deficiencies in the execution of my public responsibilities are deficiencies in my character and burden my conscience to no lesser extent." --John McCain (Worth the Fighting For) Dave likes to say that...
To Travel To travel is a state of mind. It is what people that are open, flexible, creative and generally love life do. They see what is new and unknown as a challenge and they dear to give up the safe bed, the normal rhythm just to take the challenge that lays out there somewhere. Sometimes it's...
It's September! You know what that means... an inspirational quote from my "The Office" calendar to you. This has also reminded me that The Office should be starting sometime soon! Yay, love how September brings new TV and it's been a long time since I was caught up with shows since last year was a...
Luke 16:9 through Luke 16:12 (NLT) I tell you, use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up a reward for you in heaven. “Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won’t...
[63] JOB Read Job 1–2; 42 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:8 NIV The story of Job is quite frightening to a believer’s heart. The interaction between God...
I know I can come up with something and it shall be launched! In the meantime, check out this new design I made. At some point I should actually put some content into the design, but I enjoy this. This one is called Plenatude. It's not nearly as complete as the others, but I like the colored rays. I...
I cancelled my last checking account at Compass Bank this week, cleaning up a non-sufficient funds check in the process. (That can happen when a writing instructor takes six weeks to cash a check.) I discovered that Compass was charging me a $38 overdraft fee for a check that was $46.01 short. Plus...
I think if you'd ask the average person who knows me, they'd say I had a ton of integrity. When I was in high school, I lost count of how many people talked about my morals and my beliefs and values and called me (usually admiringly or at least in good fun) a "goody-two-shoes" and all that. One girl...
What is your definition of Integrity? After doing some mild research around the Internet, here's some different meanings I've come across. I'm only looking at integrity from a general characteristic perspective, not using it as a word to describe the physical quality of an object or matter. Mr....
The past 2 1/2 half years look decidedly unlike the 2 1/2 that came before. I've been married, had a baby, quit smoking, lost 20 lbs, been separated, held a good job. And, kicked a habit many people feel is untreatable. Something to be proud of-going clean. It's respectable to own up to...
The Union of Concerned Scientists is once again running their annual contest to choose the grand prize winner for the 2009 Defending Science calendar. Although one went over my head (I won't say which one, in case it demonstrates that I am 'slow' today), picking the best of the bunch was difficult....
I’ve met many people who have said about themselves, “I’m a very spiritual person but I’m not religious at all.” I suppose these people might believe me to be a very “religious” person; being that I am a minister who spends much of my free time ministering via the internet,...
