I was talking to  a young mom earlier this week.  She has a small boy and he is like the energizer bunny.  She was complaining how difficult church services were with him.  I told her about some of the things that my son did in church when he was little.  One time we were sitting next to an older...

I saw on MSN that Walmart is not such a giant anymore.  They are still a force to be reckoned with, but they are not growing as fast as they once were.  They were like an enormous "packman" (video game from the 80's) gobbling up local mom and pop business, destroying main street USA.  Now the ver...

At a recent office meeting we were going around the table telling our most outrageous showing stories that we had ever had.  This did not happen to me but to one of my co-workers.  She had a property that was an A frame that was off the beaten path.  She had showed it over and over.  The problem ...
