The northern part of the United States has seen nearly record cold temperatures this past week. The high last Wednesday in Chicago was -17F and the low temp was -20. I remember growing up in Kentucky getting down below zero a few times, but nothing quite like that. I like the climate here in Georgia…
I’m sure thankful that I haven’t got what I deserve over the years. I’ve done stupid things over the years and somehow escaped the consequences. I’ve gotten away with some pretty reckless behavior. I’m certainly not proud of my past, but it does have a way of sneaking into my future. The Lord knows me…
I will confess that both of the characteristics have shown themselves at some point in my life. I must fight pride every day. I believe pride and arrogance make everything about me. It’s “my life”; “I deserve more”, or “if you don’t like me as I am, get lost”. These statements and many more scream…
Some people deep clean their home, office or car very often. Some deep clean a couple times a year. Deep Cleaning is a whole new level of clean. It’s one thing to vacuum and dust, it’s a new level when wash the baseboards, window seals and windows. The same is true with my vehicles. Some…
I sometime feel badly for famous people who are wealthy. I suspect that they have a tough time discerning when someone is pursuing them for their wealth instead of their heart. I believe that there are lots of circumstances that can cloud or confuse love. People who are in powerful leadership positions have to be…
I am a “home body”. I would rather be home than anywhere else in the world. I don’t have an extravagant home by any means, but I’m simple and I love where I live. I also love the town where I live, work and play. It is a relatively small town with a square that…
I think that this word can be very sobering. I have done things in my past without thinking that they would show up in my future. I was reminded recently that my eating habits and exercise habits directly affect my weight and my health. I know that I knew that, but I think that there…
This is a variable that is sometimes difficult to predict or produce. I think back to so many relationships over the years that were formed because timing was spot on. I can also recall many relationships that went sideways because the timing wasn’t right. Timing is the synchronization of multiple events or activities that create…
I’m not sure that there is a word in the English language misused and misunderstood more than love. I love my wife, my children, my friends and I love a good pecan pie! I think this is one of the most powerful words in our language, yet we use it a bit flippantly. In order…
I was privileged to be at the State Capitol with the Georgia REALTORS yesterday. As I was standing in line to go through security, I was reminded of days when this wasn’t the protocol. Airport security is now part of travel time that must be computed into our schedule. If I go to a baseball…
