NOW! Dirty Shoes.
I have a pair of worn out shoes that should have been tossed in the trash about 3 years ago but I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger. What used to be a shiny new and quite stylish pair of sneakers are now the laughing stock of shoeville. From the day I sat down [...]
NOW! Unpacking Faith.
I am somewhat of a tinkerer. Having spent a good portion of my childhood as a gopher for my dad, I gained an immense base of knowledge when it comes to figuring stuff out and repairing it. I can’t say that I am as adept at being Mr. Fixit as my father, but because of [...]
Follow Me
A Mocking bird got inside our warehouse at work. It flew in through the garage door. I tried everything I could think of to get it out. I made loud noises, I cranked the forklift but the bird just would not go out. A few minutes later I saw another bird inside sitting with the [...]

NOW! Alarm.
The other morning I awoke a few minutes before my alarm clock was set to annoyingly buzz me into a new day. For a brief few seconds I began a sharp dialogue between myself and… myself. One side of me was determined to freeze my momentum and keep me in the comfort of my soft, [...]

With much going on, we kick the week off with a new article from Steve Rusk who pays homage to mom. No matter how manly we [...]
Mothers. What Mine Means to Me.
My mother during my life has taught me kindness, love for people that are unfortunate, appreciation for nature, stewardship for our earth, to share, to play fair, to cleanup your own mess, not to hit people, to save things that you might need in the future, and to enjoy life.
She opens her arms to [...]
