It’s kind of scary to admit this, but I have seen my fair share of Presidential Elections. Some that were decided in favor or my preferred candidate, while others went the other way. What I am confident in stating is that we live in the greatest country in the world and regardless of our differences, this country is the symbol of freedom across the...
The world continues to become smaller and the chaos created by communication channels can be overwhelming to some. What we must never forget is that nothing will ever communicate a positive message more than physical action. Words are fine, but action supported by words gets a lot more attention and makes a bigger impact. Impacting your community, state, country, and world is only done...
There is nothing harder than trying to be the answer to a problem that you have agreed to try and repair. You had zero to do with the problem, but you become the target of all the venom that was created by those that did. It’s not for the weak of heart or character, but in the end it is still worth it. ...
It’s been almost a decade since I changed my secular executive career and turned to focus on doing God’s Work around the world. It’s been a very rewarding, yet challenging experience that is not for the faint of heart.

I am not Catholic, but I am a committed follower of Jesus and through His teachings Jesus was very clear that we are to seek out the meek and provide love and support to them. Pope Francis has been living this mantra his...
What is a hero? It seems that the term has changed over time and means something totally different today. When I was a kid, Roger Staubach, was my hero but only in relation to his athletic prowess, nothing more. Today we are seeing athletes, politicians, and now even a transgender person being hailed as a hero. What have they done to be a hero?...
The old magician’s saying that the “hand is quicker than the eye” is reminiscent of the fog being created by those seeking to push agendas. Recently, I had a lengthy discussion with a friend who jumped to conclusions and drew his own inferences about the perspective of NL Wright regarding the issue of Gay Marriage. NL Wright is a brilliant scholar and his take...
The economic situation in Greece is dominating the headlines today as the policies of the Greek Government forced Greece to default on a 1.5 Billion Euro loan payment this past week. The political strife and panic ensuing is disheartening to see, but it is an example of how the concept of entitlements leads to a much more disastrous result that usually can’t be seen...
Needless to say that various happenings around the world have caused a lot of chaos and controversy to come forth. This controversy has caused many who claim to be followers of Jesus to react in a multitude of ways, some good, others not so good. It brings to mind that the true definition of Freedom, and how it relates to the teaching that Jesus...
