This is a follow-up post to the Personality Theory post I wrote yesterday. We are presently in the Bahamas, serving Jesus under the hot, hot sun; daily obligated to swim in the turquoise waters and walk the majestic beaches in order to draw closer to our Lord. We taught here from 2005-2008. The school is attached to the church I’m speaking at on Wednesdays and Sundays. This morning Rhonda took Cameron to participate in the K3 classroom. During their recess, I walked…

Fighting to Write

Why do I want to write? As I go through each day I come upon thoughts and ideas that I want to develop but just don’t get around to doing.

My mind and my concentration have been slaughtered over the last few years with bad habits that have left me with the consequences of a fragmented attention span. Between computer routines of work-Facebook-email-work-Facebook-email-work… every five minutes, I’ve been…
