Various thoughts

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted.  Not that I think anyone missed it, since I have all of one or two readers who show up every once in a while.  Rather, I am trying to stay disciplined and not doing very well.  It isn't that I haven't had thoughts that I could blog about, I just haven't taken the time to sit down and write.  So, a few updates on things recently...
- Started geocaching recently.  Lots of fun for the whole family.  Hikes with a mission.
- Had an earthquake today... 5.4, just south of Palm Springs.  We could feel it pretty strong where we live.  Pretty weird to feel the ground/floor moving under your feet.
- Speaking of the ground shifting, this article from Al Mohler took my breath away (in a bad way)... just amazing how sinful we humans can be.
- When they say leadership involves spending 90% of your time with 10% of your people, they speak truly.  It makes it all the more a joy to sign good conduct medal and promotion certificates.  It reminds me that the majority of my Marines are motivated professionals who want to do the right thing.

  1. The article was good. Keep them coming.

    It is all about what is more convenient to the culture. It is all about me, me, me. I don't understand it either. I am not perfect but am a work in progress.

    Regarding leadership, in my business it is the top 20% that still produce 80%. They do it every year, day in day out. They are ones that seek my advice out in every situation. i am thankful that they trust in my judgement.

    While at work Colossians 3:23-24 is my focus. Colossians 4:1 as well. They may not be my slaves but i am in charge of their welfare and can influence their success.

    thanks for you awesome words...
