I’ve been observing, as many of you have, the recent economic crisis in America. What is happening will be remembered in American economic history. Our children’s children will surely read about the stock markets of 2008.

I didn’t get to watch the entire debate last night but I caught a little bit. It was mostly on tax cuts and the “he said, she said” stuff; which, when it comes to taxes, I find a bore. Although I see the importance of our economy my value system isn’t going to be readilyContinue reading “VP debate 08 – Palin vs Biden”

I wouldn’t say that I am experienced. I wouldn’t boast that I have it all together. If I’ve learned anything right, it’s only from doing so many things wrong. Think of yourself 3 years ago. What is the image of the person that comes to your mind? For me, it’s of someone who is sincereContinue reading “Communication and communion”
