Re: Turning Another Page

Hope you have a great day! Hard to believe you had just turned 14 when I met you. Time didn't just fly by, I think there may have been a time warp.

I so love it when you affirm your wife's hard work in public! She's a gem and a great mom.

I wish I had taken your advice for my weekend trip to Liz's. Hind sight is ALWAYS 20/20!

Bottled water is simply some city's tap water put through an additional filter. What is actually in THAT water? Sure, if you want to contribute to the ongoing pollution problem where your unused water bottle probably ends up in the Pacific and its moving plastic island, be my guess. Or you could actually exercise...which is a great way to reduce/eliminate "travel belly."

I just read this....Nov. 29....and know just how you all feel about losing your beloved family pet. Truly sorry for your loss, Donnie. Love your thoughtfulness in sprinkling his ashes on your mother's grave. Simply precious. Love you all! ((HUGS))

He always said, 'Hey, good job, guys.' And Dean Martin was my favorite. ... Wichita Lineman, one of several Campbell hits written by Jimmy Webb. .

Dogs just round out a family. So sorry for your loss. However, I think his final resting place is very fitting. Your mom would definitely appreciate the sentiment!

I do love the hotspot on my Palm Pre Plus, but I won't miss it when I get my Droid next month. If there's no wi-fi available, Kelsey will just have to wait to use her netbook until the next stop :)

Terrific service. Keep up the good work!

It is specifically because all of our ministers are willing to set their opinions aside for the greater sake of unity that we have such a phenomenal church. I believe the Scripture speaks to it plainly in Psalm 133. Good post!

Love the Marriot in Moon Township! The lady that runs their restaurant is the sweetest! I would NEVER dream of staying anywhere else in Pittsburgh!

Safe travels.

Re: The Importance of Domain Knowledge

I don't think generalists will go away I just think they will become more and more rare. Unfortunately, the market (in many fields) has not been kind to generalists.

pjline5 — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:22:49 -0000

I don't entirely agree. I think there still has to be some form of Generalist to triage cases as they come in, whether it be Medical, IT, or a host of other fields. A generalist can size up the issue and point the case in the direction of a specialist, if need be. Just My two cents...

Great post. IMO pain is the worst part of failure.

Very true. Destroys chemistry in no time flat.

Re: Trust

wdkunkel — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 08:14:30 -0000

These principles apply to ministries as well. Nothing worse than trying to serve with someone you cannot respect or cannot trust. I think if you can agree early on to give your team permission to address things (no matter how ugly, or what 'direction' they are aimed in), the better off the team will be in the long term.

My fav city in the US would be New York as well. I didn't mind Austin when I visited there twice.

While I'm not a lawyer, it seems to me that this could have begun as a way to protect the people of the state from severe budget problems, if you allow everyone to sue the state for any amount then you could end up not having enough money. It's not a great answer but it's the one that makes the most sense to me.

My brother I grieve with you. I use to think the same thing here in Delaware.. You know, "things like that do not happen here." That was until I was 19. That is when my own father was the one that shattered that preception in a crime that took 2 lives, including his own. Prayers are with the family's and the one that was found alive.
