My Grandfather, Joe Owen, passed this afternoon. He was my dad’s dad. Now I am down to one Grandfather, a sign I am getting older. I understand the way things work and that all things are made to work for God’s plan and glory. I was also not surprised by his passing. It happens when we age and mature that our elders will hand off the baton as it were to the next generation. I feel great sorrow for my family though. My Grandma, Dad, aunt, uncle and cousins who will be there to comfort each other.

I want to offer my shoulder, my ear or just my presence and company for anyone who can’t make it up there right … Click to Continue →

Where have all the good, honest business men (and women) gone?

This is, well, a rant of sorts. It’s more of an extended question. Those who know me personally, may recognize this question as a topic I talk about often.

In my life as a consultant I have encountered individuals that would under bid to win contracts they could not fulfill. They would … Click to Continue →

In previous posts I have  discussed the difference between being a farmer and a fisherman. The gist is that a farmer must have more resources and time than a fisherman.

To quote myself (one must really have a large ego to use themselves as a reference. ;-p )

From: are-you-a-farmer

  • The farmer needs land (office), seed (money), and provisions until the season bears fruit. The fisherman just needs his net (tools) and skill.
  • The farmer’s time to produce is measured in seasons (months). The Fisherman’s time is measured in tides (hours).
  • The farmer is bound to the land he toils (employer, or project). The fisherman is bound to the fish (the work and the people). If the fish move, so … Click to Continue →
