It’s time to get back on the horse! You deserve it! I need it and a journal is supposed to be just that, a journal! A consistent flow of thoughts and events that are written down about one’s life. Typically these journals are private but after reading some of my journals I really haven’t been too introspective. I’ve decided to continue with the old ways in which...
Special Thank you!

I went on my website to check the dates that I was going to be speaking, and ran into this particular quote by Mr. Billy Graham. First of all I thought it was awesome, and was right on, but it reminded me of an e-mail I received recently from a young lady.

This project started some six weeks ago and where I am sitting right now was literally nothing! Now it is a beautiful 16×8 office painted a beautiful blueish gray color with a nice sized closet and a built in book shelf! It is...

“The secret is to become wise before you become old”
How cool is this phrase? It is so true! I know that when older people (I know that older people means something different depending on whatever age you are reading this) read this without even knowing it their heads are shaking in agreement up and down and their minds are thinking of things that they could of, should of,...

Do you remember when Forrest Gump said, “Life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get?”
Well, I am just going to have to disagree with my man Forrest Gump, even though that is one of my favorite movies in the world! I have thought about that statement for several years now, and every time I think about a box of chocolates I just ask myself one...
