Schlub

I was born to….  Can you finish that sentence?  I know a lot of people who can complete it without hesitation.  Of the people that I know who can quickly respond what they were “born” to do, most of them are in service rolls.  They are teachers, pastors or work in medicine.  That is only [...]

Fix it

A friend of mine called me today.  She was quite discouraged.  I found myself at a loss for words.  Sometime words are so inadequate.  There are two pitfalls that I generally try and avoid: Platitudes and Mr. Fix It.
