The way to a man's heart.

Is not through his stomach.

Want to get an old fart like me in your corner forever?  Stroke the ego.  Make me feel like I have valuable life experiences you want to benefit from.

Got an email this week from a young lady who is as close to family without sharing a last name as someone can get.  She's graduating from University soon, and would prefer to work in a field where I might have some 3rd party contacts.  So, she asked if I could pass along her resume to a friend of a friend of a friend.  One look at her resume, and I asked if I could help her fix it up a little.

"YES!  PLEASE!"

Thin Threads of Life

I believe in God.  Whoa...wait.  Where are you going?  Hang on a second and hear me out.  It's not a casual belief, but I'm not into proselytizing either.  Relax.  So, do me a favour, if somehow my belief in God makes you uncomfortable or defensive, then I want you to substitute the word God in the rest of this post with the word 'Life'.

I believe in life.

See? not so hard.

So, why do I bring this up?  I'm 41.  I still have a long way to go, but I can also look back a fair ways and see how God has guided me through things.  And it's kind of amazing really.  When I look back and see how one insignificant decision or event led to another insignificant event, which then snowballed into a greater life story.  And I firmly believe everyone has these threads in their lives that join events into bigger things.  This is how I see God moving in my world.
