Plan for Blogging

16 October 2011

Usually, I try not to blog just concepts or ideas because I want to do my research and present complete discussions. However, I watch these other people toss ideas out in the ether all the time and never seemingly follow-up. I do not want to do that, but I do want to get ideas out [...]

Children and Time and Military Service

16 October 2011

“Daddy don’t go,” tears streaming down their little faces. That’s the story my friend was telling me today. Nope… he was not heading off to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Incredibly Inconsiderate

17 August 2011

This morning I had the opportunity to yell at some people. Today… I yelled at some troops trying to build camaraderie or esprit de corps.

Knowing when to lead

During this morning’s reading, I read an interesting passage from Proverbs that holds true beyond the faithful or religious. I had never thought of it in this way, but it is undoubtedly the case. What is it I write of? The idea that when one chooses to admonish or rebuke someone who is foolish or [...]
