The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared. And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face. People come and go in your life. The types of people who make a tremendous impact on your life are usually the ones that don’t stick […]

The Horizon Has Been Defeated

I spend a good majority of my day explaining boundaries to my customers. The vast majority of those that call in for web hosting support, have no idea that there is a difference between building a website, hosting a website and sending an email.

It’s been kind of a rough month for me. I have been going through a lot of personal issues that have absorbed most of my time. Because I am a glutton for punishment I have also quit smoking. This is not the first time I have quit, but with God’s help it will certainly be […]

Badfish

Actually I had some really good fish. Went to Sakura Japanese Steakhouse in Boise. I went with a couple members of my team, Vance and Tabitha. I went to work to catch up on some coaching logs. They met me in the lobby. Vance had never tried Sushi before, so I figured today was as […]

Nothing Else Matters

Today was a difficult day. I do not want to go into much detail, but there was some stress involved. Some tough conversations. A lot of supervisor calls. Busy Busy Busy. It was good though.

In My Shoes

I mentioned in my last post about a feeling of transition. I just knew transition was coming. I could feel it. I have been through enough major changes to know when another change is about to rear it’s ugly head.. When Pam walked me upstairs to have a “sit down” I knew this was it. […]
