I love old furniture that has been restored and re-purposed. I know people who take down old houses and repurpose the lumber into furniture. They have incredibly cool products for purchase that have been re-purposed. You can see their products here. I also know a guy who has a furniture business based on re-purposing old…
When I think back to my parents, grandparents, even great-grandparents, I realize that life was a bit different back then. Over the years lots of things have changed. The way we wash clothes, the way we shower and bathe. The way we work and get to work. There is much change that has happened in…
There are some things that are handed down from generation to generation. There are habits, traits, attitudes and skills that parents and grandparents can pass on to their future generations. Some of these habits, traits, attitudes and skills that are passed down are great – but some are definitely not. I’ve met kids whose parents…

There are lots of things that I still don’t know. I learn new things every day. I am constantly learning “short cuts” on my computer. I’m learning new technology tricks daily. I’m discovering more insight into leadership and love with every passing day. I realize that there are lots of other things that I know…
I woke up around 3 AM this morning and my heart was pounding out of my chest. I realized that it was just a dream. I was trying to rescue a neighbor from danger and things looked really bad…then I woke up. As I’ve gotten older, I think about my heart a lot more. This…
One of my favorites Kings of the Old Testament was King Solomon. He was the son of King David. He was profoundly wise. He was ridiculously rich. He started out seeking the heart of God above all else. He wrote some of the Psalms along with his Dad, King David. Check this out…. 1 Endow the…
