History
A Cause Greater Than a Flag
I am literally sick over the ongoing racial debates on social media. Just a few weeks ago it was the issue in McKinney and now the Confederate flag. Like the Bible, people find it easy to cherry pick history to prove their point. However, it is unlikely you will change someone’s mind or their heart. […]
May We Never Forget the Cost….
This a re-post from Memorial Day 2012 “Nothing is more important to the soul of America than remembering and honoring those who gave of themselves that we might enjoy the fruits of peace and liberty.” – President Ronald Reagan I never served in the military, so it is hard for me to comprehend the courage […]
Another Year of Great Reads – What I read in 2014
I have a simple goal to read just 20 books each year. I know there are many who read a lot more than that but 20 is the right number for me. In 2014 I barely completed that goal by reading 21. It was a busy year. Please note that the lack of comments […]
The Good News We Almost Forgot – A Book Review
I am not sure if it is my age or not, but I find myself drawn to things from my younger days. I grew up in the Presbyterian USA Denomination so around the age of 11, I attended Catechism class. Over several weeks my friends and I worked our way through the Westminster Catechism. (I […]
Four Marks of a July 4th Leader
On July 4th 1776 the Continental Congress voted in favor of Richard Henry Lee’s motion for Independence. (It would be almost a month before the Declaration would be signed.)

How to Live MLK Day Every Day
I only have a vague memory of Dr. Martin Luther King. I was just 3 years old when he was brutally assassinated. I simply remember seeing the reports about him when my dad was watching the news. As someone who is white, I really have no understanding of what it is like for others to […]

My Reading List from 2011 – So Many Books – So Little Time
It is hard to believe that during my early years I did not enjoy reading very much. But now it is a passion. My only regret from 2011 is that I did not allow enough time to review some of the great books that I have already read. So many books, so little time. Oh […]
That Day
That Day 10 years ago I woke to another work day. It was to be a warm sunny 86 degrees in Atlanta. I made the 40 mile commute through rush hour traffic to the north side of town to my job at a software company. My coworkers and I laughed and joked around as I […]
