“Look It Up.”
As with any young lad, I had questions. But the response I really didn’t like was, “Go look it up.” First, I found libraries too warm and stuffy. They put me to sleep. Second, the Dewey Decimal System was too much like a jigsaw puzzle, I just wanted an answer with the least amount of …
The Key?
I’m a dude. Although He has changed much of my dude thinking ways since 1984 when I came to Jesus, I am still a work in process. One of the areas He is working on is my entrenched way of focusing on performance. Performance is a core attribute of our culture. Did you make the …
