I am a Mac and Linux geek. I primarily use Macs or Linux servers to connect to my linux web servers that I have scattered all over the internet. I love using the almighty command line (we're not talking old DOS here, we are talking real linux command line). It is very powerful if you know how. It is actually faster in many cases than using a GUI … [Read more...]

You Will Miss the Screaming and Fussing

I've found that one of the best times to really get to know your kids is when they are snuggled in bed with the lights out. I like to listen to their prayers each night. You can tell a lot about their heart and what is important to them. You can also learn a lot about yourself and how you are raising them by the little things they say in their … [Read more...]

This evening I was at the local mall doing some Christmas shopping with my kids. While they were looking at the different toys, I noticed a mother with her two children.

When I first started thinking about writing articles, I thought I didn't have enough to say (although my wife will tell you I talk too much). I kept thinking that I was not … [Read more...]
My Favorite Time of Year
December 10, 2007 By Leave a Comment
As I walk out my front door each morning, a fresh crisp nip is in the air. My nose catches subtle scents of nearby chimneys quietly permeating the air as families are nestled in their cozy homes to the warmth of a relaxing, crackling fire. There is a stronger sense of love and compassion with everyone you meet. You can hear an extra special excitement in … [Read more...]

November 28, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Well, I've been a little bit behind updating this blog over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. My wife's mom was not able to make it over for our planned Thanksgiving lunch because she thought she ate something bad. She had a lot of stomach pain and was in no shape to be eating turkey. So, we were going to go over to her place that evening for a … [Read more...]
Death by Doubt
November 23, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Looking back on decisions I have made in the past and why I failed or quit at anything was quite often due a quiet little creeping creature called doubt. It usually isn't obvious at the time but its grip is strong and deadly. Doubt will absolutely kill anything worth while if you let it. Doubt creeps into your thoughts saying things like "you can't … [Read more...]
