You can quote me on this.

Ever notice how often quotes get used in business language? Business talks and PowerPoints are peppered with quotes from modern day business gurus like Peter Drucker, Seth Godin, Malcom Gladwell and Bill Gates. Most are used to justify a key point, but every once in a while they just seem to do a great job capturing [...]

Quiet and productive

Normally something in the course of the workday spurs some sort of blogging inspiration for me. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy blogging so much - knowing that I’ll be blogging later helps encourage me to see the events of the day through a Christian worldview. Today though, I really didn’t do much. In [...]

Happy Monday
