Wooly Worm Watch

“Watch out, you hit another one! “
“Another what?”
“Another wooly worm!”
“You can’t see wooly worms driving 50 miles an hour!”
Several minutes later…”STOP!!”
I slam the brakes.  We get out of the car and she shows me…a wooly worm!  Crawling across the road!  Seriously!  After this incident, I can’t NOT see wooly worms crawling across the road while [...]

Being Flexible

You just never know how God is going to work.
When we decided to be entrepreneurs -no, let me rephrase that…
When God decided that we were going to become entrepreneurs, one of the words He spoke to us was, “Be flexible”. Hmmm, that sounds a little scary.
One barn that I knew we needed to [...]

Think and…Be Blessed

It’s hard not to go through a major change in life, particularly one involving new territory, and not contemplate the life of Abraham. Talk about setting off on an uncharted path in an unknown direction! My situation has nothing on his! It always helps to look to Abraham when our faith falters. [...]

Barn Building

We in the church are scared of money. I mean that…scared! Scared of having too little; scared of having too much; scared of what God will think of how we use it; scared even more of what people think of how we use it! (Isn’t that sad?)
This morning, on my prayer walk, Father [...]

…And Freedom Tastes of Reality

(Obscure hippie music reference in the post title!  Can anyone identify it?)
My first real day of freedom!  I say that because today is the first scheduled day of work at my old job that I did not show up for! Real freedom!
The reactions I get from friends, colleagues and acquaintances are interesting.  Many pat me [...]

Unfettered!

Freedom!
 What a strange way to describe this place Father has taken us.  A year ago, I would not have used that word in this context.  A year ago, the Lord was just starting to change my thinking.  A year ago, I had a great job in a great company.  A year ago, I was just beginning [...]

I Should Be Scared…I Think

Today I began training my replacement for the job that I have done for most of the last eight years. Training my replacement is not a new occurrence for me…I’ve done it every time I voluntarily left a job. (Yes, that means there were some jobs I left involuntarily!) What’s new about this [...]

Weird…but good

Yup. Weird is a good word. Of course, things were pretty weird in our house before the Lord introduced us to entrepreneurialism. After all, this is the house where we dance and sing along to Frank Sinatra, but have never even seen American Idol; where we quote obscure movie lines with great [...]

Weird, She Says…

Her turn today, mine tomorrow!

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Those of you that know anything about us know that we have been through quite a transformation in the last nine months. To sum up our forthcoming book “Shaken, Not Stirred” (SHAMELESS PLUG), we have received about a lifetime of education and worldview adjustment in a nine month period (Hmmm…nine months? Gestation?
