Feeding Kids During School Break

By on December 18, 2009

Making a difference is something we can all do.  Yesterday, a small group of people made a difference in the lives of 5 families with young kids who struggle to eat during times that school is not in session.

After contacting a local elementary school and speaking to their school counselor, it was apparent that there was a great burden on the hearts of some of the teachers for the children in their classes.  You see, Edmond OK is thought of by many to be a relatively wealthy area and thus, people send any assistance they may give, to other areas and ignore the struggling individuals in their own back yards.  Read more...

Sacrifice: It’s Worth It.

By on November 25, 2009

I often see people adding too many things into their schedule or list of priorities.  Sometimes it’s the family that simply adsabraham sacrifice imageanother youth activity to the car pooling frenzy that stresses mom out.  Other times it’s the company that learns of a great idea and ads it to the list of tasks and practices that are filling their employees schedules.  For all of us it’s the simplest things that give us trouble with sacrifice, like what or how much to eat, or what show to watch on tv.  Read more...

Don’t Compromise.

By on November 16, 2009

Compromise.  You WILL be asked to do it.  Today.  The word sounds like a good, “touchy feely” thing to do.  However, more often than not, compromising can be harmful.  We’re taught as children to compromise in situations such as sharing our toys and compromising some of the fun we’d have with a toy in order to allow someone else time with the toy.  In turn they might let us play with their stuff some time.  Very soon though, life begins asking us to make less neutral compromises.  In most cases it means allowing small doses of harm come into our families, our workplaces, or lives in order to temporarily experience pleasure, praise, or success.  Read more...

Do Something Else Than Your Competition

By on October 8, 2009

There were once three young men who were trying to impress the same young lady.  All three men were very similar in appearance.  Same color hair, eyes, and complexion.  Same height and weight.  In fact, they were all slightly overweight (not much but just enough keep them from being noticed by the young lady).  The young men were overweight because in their attempts to stay as equal competitors, they all began to eat at a fast food restaurant one meal per day.  Suddenly, one of the competing young men had an idea.  “If I was to bring my lunch to work each day, and took the time and money I would normally spend in the restaurant and spent it using a gym membership, I think I’ll have a competitive advantage on my competition and be noticed by the young lady”.  Read more...

20 Things I Learned At The Oklahoma State Fair

By on September 28, 2009

  1. Fair skinned, white, bald guys like myself should wear sun screen.ruthie chicken on a stick
  2. Old worn out Chuck Taylor’s are not the best shoe for walking the fair for 5+ hours.
  3. Somehow, combining the smells of cigarette smoke, old deep fry oil, other people’s body odor, stale beer, and rotting trash remnants makes me hungry.
  4. That hunger can be satisfied by the offering of anything you can think of… being served on a stick.  Corny dogs, fried chicken, biscuits, chocolate covered cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza, frozen bananas… all on a stick.  You can’t beat that.

Who Are You Rude To?

By on September 24, 2009

I was driving along near my home yesterday and thought I’d do something I hadn’t done in a while: cold call on a business.  So, I pulled into a local dentist office to talk to them about the new MyDentistOklahoma.com site and how only one dentist would be allowed placement on this site for each zip code.  They are the dentist office near my home that my kids and I go to, so, I thought I might as well give them first shot at their zip code only about 24 hours after the site was completed.  Read more...
